Hallmark Channel The Way Home spoilers and updates reveal why Elliot Augustine (Evan Williams) didn’t propose to Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh) in the season three finale. Read on to see what the co-showrunner for the series had to say about the reason why.

Why Elliot Didn’t Propose To Kat

The season 3 finale of The Way Home was packed with unexpected developments, including a near-proposal between Elliot Augustine (Evan Williams) and Kat Landry (Chyler Leigh).

Co-showrunner Alexandra Clarke commented on the cliffhanger during an interview with TVLine on March 17, saying, “That is such a typical Elliot thing. He needs his perfect moment.”

In the finale aired on March 7, Elliot and Kat engaged in a heartfelt discussion about their relationship.

This was following a brief disruption caused by his ex-wife, Emma Baker (Miranda Millar), and her 1800s love interest, Thomas Coyle (Kris Holden-Ried). “Let’s just love each other as we are,...

Hallmark Channel “The Way Home” spoilers reveal the show’s season three finale needs to answer one major question. They need to clear up who is Casey-or Kc Goodwin-(Vaughan Murrae); really?

So Many Questions, So Little Time!

How can anyone possibly navigate the vast sea of enigmas that the network has presented us; it appears the Season 3 finale only needs to resolve one crucial question.

Ideally, we would see every loose thread neatly tied up as the beloved series wraps up its season in just two weeks. Yet, it’s clear that the network won’t grant us that level of satisfaction.

With uncertainty surrounding the renewal for Season 4, there’s a strong possibility that some mysteries may remain forever unsolved. So, if we had to pinpoint the one question we most desperately want answered, what would it be?

Some Questions Have Been Answered, But Not The Identity Of...

Is there a reason why Kat and Elliot are so uncomfortably awkward in The Way Home Season 3?

Unlike Carissa, I actually like Elliot. He’s an endearing enough character if deeply flawed, and what can I say? I’m a sucker for the nerdy, bookish type.

I also don’t mind the Kalliot ship. It combines my favorite romantic tropes: the Girl/Boy Next Door, Unrequited Love, and Friends to Lovers.

I eat up that type of content with a spoon, so I never minded the idea of Kat and Elliot together because I thought they would be sweet.

However, I’m also a diehard shipper’s worst nightmare. While more often than not, I, too, would love to say that I’m averse to shipping culture, it’s inescapable, and sometimes I get sucked into it.

I’m one of those annoying ‘shippers.

An airplane thriller with 80% on Rotten Tomatoes becomes a global hit on Netflix more than four years after its debut. Though it arrived very late in the year, the airplane thriller premise received a boost with Carry-On. Directed by Jaume Collet-Serra, with T. J. Fixman writing the script. The story centers on a Tsa officer who's blackmailed into allowing a nerve agent on board a flight during Christmas Eve. The cast of Carry-On is led by Taron Egerton, Sofia Carson, Danielle Deadwyler, and Jason Bateman.

By the start of 2025, Carry-On demolished records to become the fifth-most-watched English-language Netflix Original of all time. That data will soon be backed up by Nielsen's streaming charts. But the initial response underlines the holiday-themed thriller struck a nerve with audiences. Another plane-centric suspense saga is catching on with subscribers, albeit four years after it originally premiered on a rival platform.

Departure Is A...

The only thing that might be more complicated than the time-travel mysteries on Hallmark Channel’s The Way Home is the love triangle that developed in Season 2 between Kat, Elliot and Thomas.

While Kat and Elliot kissed and fought in the present day, Kat also fought with and kissed (in that order) rum smuggler Thomas in 1814 after growing closer to the man that helped her brother Jacob survive in the past. As the season closed, Kat returned to her time and said goodbye to a vision of Thomas, thinking that he had been shot dead, but then Jacob appeared and revealed that Thomas survived.

‘The Way Home’ stars discuss intriguing bonds and secrets. Hallmark‘s The Way Home is set to shake up Del Landry’s (Andie MacDowell) life when it premieres its highly anticipated third season.

But her investigation takes a shocking turn when the charismatic criminal attacks Kate at his own trial, leaving her without memory of the crucial encounter. What dark secrets did he impart in her ear before meeting a violent end?

Kate’s search for answers after the assault leads her to stay with her estranged sister Michelle and family. Yet strange events at the remote house suggest unseen forces meddling in their lives.

Note: There are spoilers for “The Umbrella Academy” Season 4 below.

“The Umbrella Academy” just signed off with its fourth and final season, and the Netflix series brought it all to an end with a happy reunion — of sorts. The series ends with a singular, happier timeline created thanks to the Hargreeves siblings’ sacrifice – and it’s full of familiar faces.

After the siblings realize that the marigold giving them their powers is also what’s causing the world to end repeatedly, they agree to let The Cleanse erase them from ever existing. This results in one unified, seemingly much better timeline.

The show ends with a pan around a park where we see a number of familiar faces from the series’ run; all living much better, safer lives. Showrunner Steve Blackman told TheWrap it was a lot of phone calls, but he ended up getting almost everyone he wanted for the scene.

Warning: major spoilers for The Umbrella Academy season 4.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 ended with the Hargreeves fixing the main timeline at a high price, sacrificing themselves. Characters like the Swedes, Hazel, Agnes, Grace, Herb, Dot, and The Handler returned in the show's final scene in a new and different reality. The final scene of The Umbrella Academy shows how differnet the world is without the Hargreeves.

The Umbrella Academy season 4 ended on a heartbreaking yet hopeful note as the Hargreeves were able to fix the main timeline at a high price, and many characters returned in the shows final scene. The Umbrella Academy has now ended with its fourth season, but not without a series of twists and shocking reveals. Set six years after the ending of season 3, The Umbrella Academy season 4 reunited with the Hargreeves, who had parted ways to live normal lives but were brought together by a mysterious rescue mission.

When she claims to have no recollection of the attack, her family begins to question her motives... Starring Lauren Lee Smith, Ella Ballentine, Peter Mooney, Martin Roach, Ilan O'Driscoll,...

Filming has begun for Schitts Creek actor Scott Anthony Cavalheiro's directorial debut film, Plan C, starring Claire Cavalheiro, Daniel DeSanto and Vivica A. Fox.

While Cavalheiro is best known for his role as Miguel in Schitt's Creek, according to Variety, he's moving into the director's chair for a new crime thriller called Plan C. The film will tell the tale of Claire and Danny, played by Claire Cavalheiro (from Man Seeking Woman) and Daniel DeSanto (from Mean Girls), as they are on the lam after a robbery gone wrong. Joining them is veteran actor Vivica A. Fox, whose storied acting career includes playing Jasmine Dubrow in the original Independence Day and Vernita Green in Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2. Not to mention the supporting cast, which includes Jamie Spilchuk (from Defining Moments), Joris Jarsky (from Saw V), Kris Holden-Ried (from Departure and The Way Home) and Kylee Evans (Luckiest Girl Alive...

Principal photography has begun on “Plan C,” the feature directorial debut of Scott Anthony Cavalheiro, known for his acting role in “Schitt’s Creek.”

The film is currently shooting on location in the Greater Toronto Area and Windsor/Essex, with production scheduled to continue through August.

The crime thriller tells the story of siblings Clare and Danny on the run after a robbery gone awry. The film promises a mix of action and suspense, with car chases, difficult decisions and unexpected twists.

The cast features Claire Cavalheiro (“Man Seeking Woman”) and Daniel DeSanto (“Mean Girls”) in leading roles, with Hollywood veteran Vivica A. Fox rounding out the top-billed performers. Supporting cast includes Jamie Spilchuk (“Defining Moments”), Joris Jarsky (“Saw V”), Kris Holden-Ried and Kylee Evans (“Luckiest Girl Alive”).

Claire Cavalheiro and Scott Anthony Cavalheiro are producing under their Stained Tie Films banner, with Gerry Lattmann of The Dot Film Company serving as line producer.

For anyone who watches “The Way Home” knows that sometimes, it can get a little confusing with so many different time periods going on at once. That’s the case for the executive producers too. During an FYC panel for the hit Hallmark Channel series on May 8, the showrunners admitted that it takes a lot of work and research to keep everything straight.

“We start at the end and then kind of work backward. We had a wonderful plan right from the start when Marly Reed created the show and wrote a beautiful bible for it. Alex and I were just so lucky to be part of it and develop it,” said co-showrunner Heather Conkie, referring to her daughter and co-showrunner, Alexandra Clarke. “We really had a three, four, five-year plan? And we’re now working on the third year. We see what worked from the first two years and it’s a process.

Herb, the underrated character, will play a significant part in revealing Lila's parents in Season 4. Grace's mysterious past and eerie message to Diego may shape her return and backstory in the final season. Characters like Dot and Jill hold untold stories, setting the stage for an exciting and dramatic Season 4 arc.

With The Umbrella Academy approaching its highly anticipated ending, several minor characters deserve to return in season 4. The Umbrella Academy season 4 is due to air in August 2024. It will be the final installment of the series and the end of the Netflix adaptation of the graphic novels of the same name, by My Chemical Romance frontman Gerard Way and Gabriel B. The Umbrella Academy's season 3 cliffhanger ending set up an array of dramatic possibilities for the show's final season, leaving the fate of its characters hanging in the balance.

Most of The Umbrella Academy's season 3 characters...

About four and a half years ago, it was announced that Amybeth McNulty of the Netflix shows Anne with an E and Stranger Things (although she hadn’t been on Stranger Things yet at the time) had signed on to star in a suspense thriller called Maternal. If you’ve been wondering what happened with that project, we finally have an update to share with you today: Maternal has been retitled She Came Back, and it’s now available to watch through Dark Matter TV, Apple, Vudu, Google Play, and Microsoft Xbox. It can be rented for $3.99 or purchased for $9.99.

Part of the reason for the long delay is the fact that Maternal started filming in early 2020, then the production got disrupted by the pandemic lockdowns. The project had to be put back together at a later date so filming could be finished.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Way Home Season 2 finale “Bring Me to Life.”] Season finales are usually one surprise after another and include big moments for relationships, and with its latest, The Way Home delivers both. It certainly sets Kat (Chyler Leigh) and Elliot (Evan Williams) on a hopeful path going forward. But before getting the two to that place, Kat travels back to 1814 to say goodbye to Thomas (Kris Holden-Ried) after finding out he’s about to be killed. She blames herself, but he refuses to let her, and they kiss before she leaves—and thinks he’s killed before finding out he was saved by armor. Then, in the present, Elliot tells Kat that he time-traveled with Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow) and got his five minutes with Colton (Jefferson Brown), so now he understands what she’s gone through, having to stop herself from trying to change the past. “I want you to choose me,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Way Home Season 2 finale “Bring Me to Life.”] It’s one shock after another, as The Way Home wraps its second season. And let’s just say, we’re really glad it’s already been renewed for a third. Just as Kat’s (Chyler Leigh) mourning Thomas (Kris Holden-Ried), Jacob (Spencer Macoherson) surprises her by popping out of the pond. He’s come home, and he even has some good news: Thomas is alive, thanks to armor he had on when he was shot! But the present scenes end before he steps inside to reunite with their mother, Del (Andie MacDowell) and meet Kat’s daughter Alice (Sadie Laflamme-Snow), because then we go back to the past—and see that someone else has been time-traveling: Colton (Jefferson Brown)! Yes, Kat and Jacob’s father went back in time to watch himself with a young Jacob before his son’s...

If one thing is clear after The Way Home Season 2 Episode 6, it's that now is the time to loop Del into the family travels.

If any of us had the chance to alleviate the pain that woman feels, we would do it in a heartbeat.

"How to Save a Life" was an incredibly dense episode that uncovered many new details, some of which I've got a bone to pick about.

However, the overarching theme of loss prevailed throughout the episode and needs to be explored.

Kat keeps telling everyone who knows about finding Jacob that she doesn't think she can lose him again if it comes to that.

Yes, she can and will, whether now or decades later. People die, but it doesn't mean...

Creatives are burning with rage over Hollywood’s hottest new trend: streaming platforms’ habit of canceling finished films and TV series before they’ve aired or pulling projects from platforms and shelving them indefinitely.

The Hollywood Reporter has been asking around about the effects of consolidation, budget cuts and tax write-offs kneecapping projects like Batgirl, Snowpiercer, Scoob!: Holiday Haunt and Westworld, among others. It’s happening all over town as entertainment companies have been forced to contend with consolidation, inflation, a possible recession and a constant chase for subscribers.

“It’s been horrifying,” prolific creator Rian Johnson (Glass Onion) tells THR. “The fact that it’s becoming common practice is terrible and adds to the awfulness. In the history of the business, there has been a constant evolution of horrible things.”

Last month, THR reported that two Netflix feature films were up for grabs after the streamer opted not to distribute the films.

In a surprising move, Netflix has decided not to release the completed genre films The Inheritance (directed by Alejandro Brugués) and House/Wife (directed by Danis Goulet) as Netflix Originals. Thankfully, this isn’t a situation like Warner Bros. deciding to scrap Batgirl instead of going through with its release. The filmmakers behind these two projects will be able to try to find a new home for them… and the search is already underway. The Hollywood Reporter hasn’t been able to dig up any information on why Netflix decided not to release either of the two movies.

Scripted by Joe Russo and Chris Lamont and produced by Paul Schiff, The Inheritance stars Bob Gunton, Peyton List, Austin Stowell, Briana Middleton, David Walton, Reese Alexander, and Rachel Nichols. The story takes place on the eve of billionaire Charles Abernathy 75th birthday, when he invites his four estranged children back home out...

A trend among entertainment companies as Hollywood continues its will-they/won’t-they relationship with a possible recession is the unloading of completed projects. The move has been seen across the industry, from AMC+ to Parmaount+ and Disney to HBO Max. Now The Hollywood Reporter has learned of two completed Netflix feature films, The Inheritance and House/Wife, that will no longer be distributed by the streamer, with filmmakers shopping them elsewhere for distribution.

The Inheritance, directed by Alejandro Brugués and produced by Paul Schiff, and House/Wife, from director Danis Goulet and producers Tripp Vinson and Daniel Bekerman, are genre films that were set to be released by Netflix, which will now no longer move forward with the movies.

In the summer, HBO Max made the announcement that the DC feature film Batgirl and the animated movie Scoob!: Holiday Haunt would be shelved after both had completed production. At the time,...

Red Arrow Studios Intl. has secured a raft of deals for two of its premium drama titles “Blackout – Tomorrow Is Too Late” and “Departure.”

The international thriller “Blackout – Tomorrow Is Too Late,” starring Moritz Bleibtreu (“The Baader Meinhof Complex”) and Marie Leuenberger (“The Divine Order”), has been picked up by Mediawan Rights for French-speaking Europe, Disney Plus in the U.K. and Ireland, and HBO Nordic for a whole host of territories, including the Nordics, Iberia, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Netherlands.

Season three of international thriller drama series Departure, headlined by Archie Panjabi, has begun production in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Toronto. Will & Grace alum Eric McCormack has joined the series, produced by Shaftesbury in association with Corus Entertainment, Starlings Television and Red Arrow Studios International.

Departure, whose existing two seasons are streaming on Peacock, was renewed for a third season by Canadian network Global in May. Peacock picked up Seasons 1 and 2, which also starred the late Christopher Plummer, after screening them so it is too early to say if the streamer will also take in Season 3.

Created by Vincent Shiao, with Jackie May serving as showrunner and Canadian Screen Award winner T.J. Scott as director, Departure centers on the mystery of The Queen of the Narrows ferry, destined for St. John’s Newfoundland, which sinks in record time with many of its 500 passangers on board.

Cyber-thriller Dark Web: Cicada 3301 comes from actor turned writer/director Alan Ritchson (Titans) and is based on a series of mysterious, unsolved real-life set of puzzles, created and run by an organization called “Cicada 3301” that was apparently used to recruit codebreakers from the public, starting way back in 2012. The film however uses that puzzle element to deliver a film that feels very much like a hi-tech version of National Treasure…

Dark Web: Cicada 3301 follows genius hacker Conner who stumbles across Cicada 3301, an online treasure hunt that could be a recruiting tool for a secret society. So far, so much like the real-life story. That doesn’t last long as Conner (Jack Kesy), his art-expert friend Avi (Ron Funches...

Showtime announced “Moonbase 8,” starring Tim Heidecker and John C. Reilly, will premiere Nov. 8 at 11 p.m. The sci-fi comedy follows astronauts who train to qualify for their first lunar mission. But their plans change when a series of events forces the astronauts to question their mental sanity.

Season two of Netflix's The Umbrella Academy delivers all the beautiful chaos we've come to expect from the franchise. Amid the time traveling, sibling squabbles, personal journeys, and plot twists, there's a pervasive problem presented in the form of three assassin brothers - Oscar (Tom Sinclair), Axel (Kris Holden-Ried), and Otto (Jason Bryden) - known as the Swedes. They're not the sharpest tools in the shed, but they're certainly persistent in going after the Hargreeves siblings after The Handler (Kate Walsh) hires them to kill the superpowered bunch under the guise of orders from The Commission.

Throughout the season, the Swedes go öga for öga - or "eye for an eye" - with their targets. It first appears that the brothers' only mission is to keep the timeline intact, which is why they attack Hazel (Cameron Britton) and Number Five (Aidan Gallagher) in episode one. They also attempt to...

Netflix has released the official trailer for Season 2 of superhero series “The Umbrella Academy,” premiering July 31.

This time, the Hargreeves family finds themselves in 1960s Dallas, where they must face yet another apocalypse. After the events of the Season 1 finale, the family has been split up through time, all ending up with very different lives, including: Klaus is now the leader of a cult (naturally), Diego seems to be locked up in a mental hospital, and Allison appears to be involved in the Civil Rights movement. But somehow, the apocalypse they were looking to avoid is still going to happen, so they must reunite and figure out how their new realities are all connected to save the world.

All of the Hargreeves will return in Season 2, including Ellen Page, Tom Hopper, David Castañeda, Emmy Raver-Lampman, Robert Sheehan, Aidan Gallagher and Justin H. Min.

Departure centers on...

If anyone was hoping for a happy ending for the crew of the Raza attempting to prevent all-out corporate war, Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 13 sure seemed to put an end to it, what with quite possibly the worst possible outcome as far as the fate of the galaxy was concerned.

Thus ended Dark Matter Season 2, a rather uneven episode to match a rather uneven season, with the crew battered and scattered and maybe blown to bits.

I can't say that I was altogether heartbroken over the untimely demise of Nyx. She was an unpopular character from the get-go, with her Mary Sue-like tendencies and rather discomfiting relationship with Four.

Ryo, for his part, had apparently dived into full-blown insanity. Because, as far as he was concerned, it made perfect sense to start a full-scale intergalactic war to distract the factions currently at war with Zairon. And he still wanted Nyx to be his Empress,...

As we trek ever closer to the season finale, we were treated to two episodes back to back, and neither story disappointed.

We can only hope the final episode lives up to the excitement I'm hoping for!

The first episode, Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 11, saw Five get kidnapped by backwoods hicks and then rescued by Three, while being chased by Ga Inspector Kierken. The second, Dark Matter Season 2 Episode 12, was all about Ryo.

I confess that writing a single review to cover both episodes will be difficult, since on the face of it they have very little to do with each other, but I will start with this: both were fun, entertaining, and filled with great character moments.

And there was indeed a common thread running through the two episodes, one that has been something of an undercurrent throughout the series: the relationship between memory and identity.

The crew of...
