‘The Way Home’ Creators on Jacob’s Emotional Homecoming in Season 3 Premiere, Exploring the ’70s and That Mysterious Baby


'The Way Home' creators Heather Conkie and Alex Clarke break down the Season 3 premiere: Jacob's reunion with Del, Alice's new adventure and the baby.

On the show itself, the important news from the Season 3 premiere is that Jacob (Spencer MacPherson) is back in Port Haven in the present timeline, and has reunited with his biological mother, Del (Andie MacDowell). His amnesia from the fall prevented him from telling them where he was really from, and the lack of internet left a young Jacob none the wiser about his family urgently looking for him in Port Haven. Variety chatted with “The Way Home” creators and showrunners — and mother-daughter team — Heather Conkie and Alex Clarke to talk about that emotional reunion, Season 3 overall and exploring a new timeline.
