In 1961, Earl Hamner Jr. published his book Spencer's Mountain. Two years later, a film of the same year was produced that adapted his work into a feature-length drama. Flash forward to 1971 when CBS adapted this work once again into their television film The Homecoming: A Christmas Story. Following the film's success, the network ordered a one-season series based on its characters. This series, The Waltons, premiered in September 1972 and went on to air for another nine seasons before getting canceled in 1981. NBC subsequently aired three television film sequels to The Waltons in 1982, and CBS ended up putting out three more in the 1990s.
The CW just announced that they will be airing a new remake of the 1971 “Homecoming” film on their network. The first run will be on Sunday, November 28 at 8 pm, and they'll run it again for all those who missed it on December 11th. The made-for-TV movie was filmed earlier this year in Georgia, primarily at the Gaither Plantation in Covington and at a few other nearby locations.
In this video, we'll cover who will be playing the various Waltons while taking a look at some differences between the original film and the new incarnation. We'll also explain why one of the Walton kids, Ben, is missing from the new film.
