Hallmark’s series The Way Home has intriguing ties to Netflix and the fan-favorite show Anne with an E. While many viewers may be aware of the show’s fascinating backstory, a notable Easter egg links the two productions more closely than expected.
Initially, The Way Home was intended for Netflix before its development shifted to Hallmark. This transition was facilitated by Lisa Hamilton Daly, the former EVP of Programming, who played a pivotal role in its development. Fast forward to now, The Way Home is in its third season, packed with intertwining plotlines that keep audiences guessing.
Shared Settings: A Link Between Two Series
Viewers might recognize the Landry family home from The Way Home as the same set featured prominently in Anne with an E. The house is not just a backdrop; it serves as a significant connection between the two series.
Anne with an E is a modern adaptation of the beloved classic Anne of Green Gables, though the iconic Green Gables house is distinct from the one used in The Way Home. The narrative centers on a spirited orphan who discovers an unexpected home with a spinster and her gentle bachelor brother. Both series are filmed in various provinces of Ontario, Canada, with The Way Home primarily situated in Port Perry and Durham, while Anne with an E showcases Baden and Prince Edward Island.
Interestingly, the white church featured in The Way Home is also located near the fictitious Green Gables, providing another visual homage that some astute fans have quickly recognized.
Fans have already started articulating their observations on social media. One viewer noted, “Every time I hear Evelyn quoting ‘The Lady of Shalott, ’ I’m reminded of the Anne of Green Gables series in general, ” while another added, “I noticed that in Season 1! Pretty cool, huh?!” Another fan expressed their affection for both shows, wishing for more seasons of Anne with an E to explore further storylines.
While the gripping story of Anne with an E has come to an unexpected halt after three seasons, fans can always turn to the original literature for more depth and closure.
Currently, fans can catch the thrilling developments of The Way Home Season 3 on the Hallmark Channel, delving into mysteries surrounding Jacob’s return and speculating about potential new couples. To stay updated and relive the exciting moments, explore the best Hallmark shows available.
