CHYLER LEIGH JOINS THE CAST OF "THE WAY HOME," A NEW, ORIGINAL PRIMETEIME SERIES SET TO BOW ON THE NETWORK IN 2023

STUDIO CITY, CA - August 9, 2022 - Chyler Leigh ("Supergirl," "Grey's Anatomy") has been cast in "The Way Home," the network's new, original primetime series slated to begin production later this month for a 2023 premiere on Hallmark Channel.

Leigh plays Kat Landry, who moved away from her small, Canadian farm town of Port Haven many years ago following a family tragedy, and remains estranged from her mother Del (Andie MacDowell) to this day. With her marriage coming to an end and having just been laid off from her job, Kat decides to return home after receiving an unexpected letter from Del urging her to come back. Although her 15-year-old daughter Alice is none-too-thrilled, Kat and her daughter arrive at her family's farm, though the reunion isn't what Kat had envisioned. As the three generations of women slowly work on finding their footing as a family, they embark on an enlightening - and surprising - journey none of them could have imagined.

"Chyler Leigh and Andie MacDowell are the perfect mother-daughter pairing for our new series, 'The Way Home,'" said Lisa Hamilton Daly, Executive Vice President, Programming, Crown Media Family Networks. "We at Hallmark Channel cannot wait for her to grace our screens as a member of this cast."

"The Way Home" is executive produced by Marly Reed and Arnie Zipursky for Neshama Entertainment; Larry Grimaldi, Hannah Pillemer and Fernando Szew for MarVista Entertainment; and Heather Conkie, Alexandra Clarke, Andie MacDowell and Chyler Leigh.

Leigh is represented by The Burstein Company, UTA and attorney Mitch Smelkinson.
