Yes! There is now a new Waltons movie: The Waltons’ Homecoming. 

When I was a small child, The Waltons TV show was one of the few programs that we watched together as a family. 

The family friendly show dealt with Depression Era difficulties and tough societal dilemmas, but love was always central to the episodes. 

It can be tricky to reboot a beloved movie and long running TV series, since it will always be compared to the original. 

However, they absolutely pulled it off and the new Waltons movie is fantastic. 

The people, settings and music were all familiar, but the characters had different faces. 

They really did a fantastic job of casting the perfect actors for each role and recreating the magic of the original. 

It’s been 50 years since we were first introduced to this TV family, and this year seems especially perfect for the heartwarming messages to reach a new generation.

Synopsis

The new Waltons movie is set in the 1933 Depression Era and is told through the eyes of John Boy, the 17-year-old eldest child of John and Olivia Walton.

His mother expects John Boy to help her raise his sisters and brothers, and his father expects him to follow in his footsteps to help support the family but secretly, John Boy wants to be a writer.

Times are hard enough in 1933, but to make matters worse, it looked to be the Waltons’ first Christmas without John Sr.

When Olivia receives a letter that John Sr. is planning to make it home for Christmas after all, the family is thrilled and races to prepare for his homecoming.

But when a storm threatens his arrival on Christmas Eve and John Sr. is nowhere to be found, Olivia sends John Boy out into the night to find his daddy.

This is a journey that will change John Boy’s life forever.
