For weeks, cast members from Hallmark’s hit series “The Way Home” urged their fans on social media to vote for the time-travel drama to win the Audience Choice Award at the 2025 Canadian Screen Awards.

Their efforts clearly paid off because the show took home the coveted prize on June 2, thrilling the show’s fans and stars. The Canadian Academy of Cinema and Television has held the awards since 2013 to honor Canadian talent and productions. “The Way Home” is filmed in Toronto.

‘The Way Home’ Cast & Crew Also Hopes to Be Nominated for an Emmy

Following the show’s win at the Canadian Screen Awards, Hallmark execs have another huge goal in mind for the series, now filming its fourth season: to win an Emmy Award.

In late April, Hallmark Media hosted a “For Your Consideration (FYC)” event at the private Hollywood club and luxury hotel The Aster. Hallmark was one of many networks hosting screenings for Emmy voters, hoping they’ll consider “The Way Home” as they nominate shows, casts, and crews for the 2025 Emmy Awards.

The primary cast, including Landry family matriarch Andie MacDowell, joined “The Way Home” showrunners Heather Conkie and Alexandra Clarke, as well as series co-creator and executive producer Marly Reed, for a screening of the show and panel discussion.

Whether the screening and party swayed Emmy voters remains to be seen; nominees for the 2025 Emmys will be announced on July 15, per Entertainment Weekly.
