The CW announced a new movie, "The Waltons' Thanksgiving," set for release in the fourth quarter of 2022. A follow-up to 2021's "The Waltons' Homecoming," the special will feature Bellamy Young, Logan Shroyer and Richard Thomas reprising their roles with Teddy Sears newly added to the cast.
Set on Walton Mountain in 1934, "The Waltons' Thanksgiving" follows the Walton family as they eagerly prepare for the annual Harvest Festival Fair. Carnival rides, talent shows, and cake contests happen every year, but at this year's fair comes a boy who will dramatically change the Waltons' lives in ways they never could have imagined.
The TV movie that kicked off the Waltons franchise was 1971's "The Homecoming: A Christmas Story." Earl Hamner Jr. wrote the screenplay based on his own 1961 book and the 1963 movie "Spencer's Mountain." "The Homecoming" was so well received that CBS ordered a television season featuring the same characters Hamner created and produced. "The Waltons" premiered on CBS in 1972 and ran until 1981. "The Waltons' Homecoming," a remake of "The Homecoming," was the CW's most-watched special of the 2021-22 season.
Similar to "The Waltons' Homecoming," "The Waltons' Thanksgiving" stars Young as Olivia, Shroyer as John Boy, and Thomas, who played John Boy in the original series, as the adult John Boy, who narrates the movie. Sears stars as John Sr. Also reprising their roles are Marilyn McCoo as Sister Harriet and Billy Davis Jr. as Brother William.
