In the present day she and Elliot (Williams) navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past. Since its debut in 2023, The Way Home's compelling, multi-generational family drama with a fascinating time travel twist has built a loyal following among fans and has won over critics.The series’ complex characters and cleverly crafted writing keeps viewers eagerly awaiting each new episode and creating their own theories about the family mysteries woven through the episodes.
