Fans of the Norwegian holiday series Home for Christmas are asking what comes next after Johanne’s story reached a happy ending in Season 3. While Netflix has made no official announcement, the show’s future is currently undecided.
The third season, which arrived on December 12, 2025, concluded with protagonist Johanne finding a stable and mature romance with carpenter Bo. This satisfying ending provides both closure and a potential new beginning, leaving viewers to wonder if the show will continue. As of now, Netflix has not renewed the series for a fourth season, but it has also not canceled it. The streamer typically evaluates a show’s viewership and reception for several weeks after a new season drops before making a renewal decision.
The Current Status of Season 4
The wait for news on Home for Christmas Season 4 is a direct result of its recent release. Season 3 only became available for streaming in mid-December 2025. This means it has been available for less than a week, which is a very short time in the world of television renewals.
“It’s only been two days since the drop, and there has been no official statement given about the renewal of the show for a season 4, nor has the show been canceled,” stated a report analyzing the show’s future.
Netflix and other streaming platforms use data from the first month after release—including how many people start the series, how many complete it, and overall engagement—to decide if a show gets more episodes. If Season 3 performs well according to Netflix’s internal metrics, the chances for a Season 4 will improve significantly.
It is also worth noting the show’s irregular release pattern. There was a nearly four-year gap between Season 2 (released in December 2020) and Season 3. If Netflix does decide to continue the story, a similar timeline could place a potential Season 4 around the Christmas season of 2027.
What Could Season 4 Be About?
Season 3 ended on a note of hopeful stability for Johanne. After seasons of chaotic dating and romantic mishaps, she ends up with Bo, a carpenter who fits into her life in a calm and supportive way. Their relationship begins not with intense sparks, but through shared time and understanding while he renovates her kitchen. This sets up a clear narrative direction for a new season.
A potential fourth season would likely shift focus from finding love to maintaining it. The story could explore the real challenges of a long-term relationship, especially with two ambitious people navigating their careers and personal connection. This would be new ground for the series, which has always centered on Johanne’s search for a partner.
- Exploring a Stable Relationship: The show could depict Johanne and Bo building a life together, dealing with everyday conflicts, and supporting each other’s goals.
- A Wedding Arc: One strong possibility is a season centered on wedding planning, which would naturally bring all of Johanne’s chaotic family and friends back into the mix for new humorous and heartfelt scenarios.
- A Return to Dating: While less likely given the season’s ending, the show has reset Johanne’s relationship status before. Season 2 ended with her happily paired with Jonas, but Season 3 began with them already broken up. The writers could choose this path again to return to the show’s original dating format.
Who Would Return for Another Season?
The core cast, led by Ida Elise Broch as Johanne, would be expected to return if the show is renewed. Her family, including Tor (Dennis Storhøi) and Jordi (Anette Hoff), and her close friends like Ayaz and Morten are integral to the show’s dynamic and would likely come back.
Gard Løkke, who plays the new love interest Bo, would almost certainly reprise his role if the story continues to follow their relationship. Familiar faces from the hospital, such as Bente (Hege Schøyen) and former love interests like Jonas (Felix Sandman) or Dr. Henrik (Oddgeir Thune), could also make appearances depending on the storyline.
New characters would undoubtedly be introduced, as each season has brought a fresh set of personalities into Johanne’s world.
