‘A Waltons Thanksgiving’ Preview
Building on the success of the 2021 TV movie “The Waltons’ Homecoming” comes “A Waltons Thanksgiving” holiday special just in time for Turkey Day 2022.
The CW press release reads:
A follow-up to the highly successful “The Waltons’ Homecoming,” the movie reunites the Walton family as they prepare for Thanksgiving in 1934. The Depression has affected everyone, but John Walton (Teddy Sears) has found a way to provide for his family through the farm and by picking up odd jobs from the eccentric Baldwin Sisters. It’s also the time of year for the Annual Harvest Festival Fair, where carnival rides, talent shows and pie contests become the center of attention for the Waltons.
As the story unfolds, John Boy (Logan Shroyer) learns the true meaning of taking responsibility, Mary Ellen (Marcelle LeBlanc) comes to understand patience and collaboration, Grandma (Rebecca Koon) finds that winning can be complicated, and Olivia (Bellamy Young) shares her healing heart with every other Walton family member — at a time when each of them need it most. And when a young boy enters the Waltons’ world, everyone’s life is changed in ways they could never have imagined — transformed forever through love, faith and kindness!
“The Waltons Homecoming” took home a 73rd Annual Christopher Award in Television, Cable and Streaming, as well as two Movie Guide Awards for the Epiphany Prize in Television and star Bellamy Young for the Grace Prize in Television for most inspiring performance of the year. It was also the winner of the Environmental Media Association’s Green Seal Award for implementing sustainable practices and raising environmental awareness.
“A Waltons Thanksgiving” stars the aforementioned Sears, Shroyer, LeBlanc, Koon, and Young, plus Christian Finlayson as Jason, Tatum Matthews as Erin, Samuel Goergen as Jim Bob, Callaway Corrick as Elizabeth, Alpha Trivette as Grandpa Walton, with special guest stars Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis Jr.
Additionally, actor Richard Thomas, who originally starred as John Boy Walton on the TV series “The Waltons,” narrates the movie as the adult John Boy.
“A Waltons Thanksgiving” premieres on Sunday, November 20 at 8 p.m. Eastern and Pacific times on The CW.
