W Network Reveals 2024/25 Winter Schedule

Corus Entertainment’s W Network revealed its winter lineup. Featuring new and returning series including Based On A True Story and Lockerbie: A Search for the Truth.

W Network

Kicking off the W Network 2025 schedule is the return of Funny Woman with Season 2 on Thursday, January 2 at 10 p.m. ET/PT. In the first season, Barbara (Gemma Arterton) from Blackpool realized her dream and became TV comedy star, “Sophie Straw.”

The second season finds Sophie on a high. She is the nation’s favourite TV comedy star; she has a group of good friends and her romance with Dennis (Arsher Ali) is full of promise. However, trouble is just round the corner: Dennis’s divorce will take three years; Sophie’s new sitcom flops and she uncovers a devastating family secret.  Sophie escapes the turmoil by taking a leading role in a film opposite a glamorous French movie heartthrob.

The film is a hit and Sophie’s slick new US agent offers her a fresh start in Hollywood. Nevertheless, Sophie returns to London determined to get the gang back together and to create a new show, which reflects her real life and challenges outdated cultural conventions.

The Way Home

Critically acclaimed series The Way Home, a top performer for W Network last spring, returns on Sunday, January 5 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, picking up where Season 2 left off. Starring Andie MacDowell, Chyler Leigh, Evan Williams and Sadie Laflamme-Snow Star, this season sees Kat (Leigh) and her brother Jacob (Spencer Macpherson), who went missing more than two decades ago at the age of eight and is now an adult, poised to walk into the Landry home to an unsuspecting Del (MacDowell).

Viewers will be introduced to a groovy new era when the pond transports Kat, Alice to 1974 – the year Del and Colton (Jefferson Brown) first met as teens, and their epic love story began. Alice is befriended by a young, spritely Evelyn Goodwin (Devin Cecchetto) but their budding friendship complicates Alice’s life in the present. Meanwhile, Kat attempts to close the door on the 1800s after making startling discoveries. In the present day she and Elliot (Williams) navigate a new chapter in their relationship, while he finds himself faced with his own complicated past.

Based On A True Story

A top 10 specialty entertainment program, the highly anticipated Canadian premiere of Based on a True Story Season 2 debuts on Monday, January 27 at 9 p.m. ET/PT, following Ava (Kaley Cuoco) and Nathan Bartlett (Chris Messina) as they navigate the first three months of parenthood. Focused on taking care of her family, Ava is determined to resist her true crime obsession and return to work as a real estate agent while Nathan trains private tennis clients.

However, a series of new murders pulls her back in – is Matt (Tom Bateman) behind the slayings? Is Tory (Liana Liberato), now entangled in a relationship with Matt, in danger? For a while, life is good – Ava’s TikTok habit and her new friend Drew (Melissa Fumero) provide a welcome distraction, and Nathan’s all in on reigniting his tennis career as well as his friendship with Matt until danger comes knocking, literally. In addition, fans of the show and subscribers to STACKTV can enjoy early access to Season 2, with the first episode dropping a week early on January 20.

Plus, Chesapeake Shores returns to W Network with Season 6 on Sunday, January 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.5 at 10 p.m. ET.
