‘The Way Home’ Producers on Leaning Into ‘Alice in Wonderland’ Parallels, Planning for Season 3 and Beyond — Plus, the Possibility of Spinoffs
The showrunners of Hallmark Channel's "The Way Home" open up about the future of the series.
When mother-daughter showrunners Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke began working on “ The Way Home ” with creator Marly Reed, they didn’t intentionally set their sites on the world of “Alice in Wonderland.” Instead, it came completely natural. It’s a story about a girl that literally falls down the rabbit hole into a whole other world and is trying to make sense of what she’s seeing and of her adventures there,” Alexandra tells Variety. The Hallmark drama includes cheeky references to multiple different well-known stories — everything from “Peter Pan” and “Narnia” to “Not Another Teen Movie” (which also stars “The Way Home” actor Chyler Leigh) — but it’s the “Alice” comparison that viewers keep noticing on social media each week.
