It’s early on a brisk November morning, and we are on the farm about an hour and a half outside of Toronto, where the massively popular Hallmark drama The Way Homefilms. “It really is a beautiful place,” says co-showrunner and executive producer Alexandra Clarke.
We’re staring at a placid pond as fog rolls over the nearby field like we’re in a Sherlock Holmes novel, and dozens of crew members are already running around preparing for the first shot of the day. It’s one of the last “pond days” of Season 4, which will be the show’s last.
According to Clarke, the pond changes color with the mood. Today it’s almost oil black, and it’s hard to tell if that’s because winter is on the horizon or if the pond knows the tense scenes lined up for today.
