Robyn Carr fans, rejoice! While Virgin River fans eagerly await Season 7, Netflix is about to deliver another romantic drama set in a charming small town — and it’s straight from the same beloved author. Introducing: Sullivan’s Crossing.
Beginning July 2025, Sullivan’s Crossing — the Canadian drama based on Carr’s second most popular book series — will finally stream on Netflix U.S. after premiering on Netflix Canada in April.
🎬 From the Creator of Virgin River
Carr, known for her cozy, heartfelt tales of love, loss, and second chances, has penned two mega-popular series: the 22-book Virgin River collection and the five-book Sullivan’s Crossing saga. With Virgin River now a Netflix juggernaut, it was only a matter of time before Sullivan’s Crossing made its way to the screen.
And with multiple seasons already completed — and a fourth season on the way — this series is ready to win over viewers in the same way Virgin River did.
🏞 What Is Sullivan’s Crossing About?
Set in the breathtaking landscapes of Nova Scotia, Sullivan’s Crossing follows Maggie Sullivan (played by Morgan Kohan), a successful neurosurgeon whose life takes an unexpected turn. After a scandal upends her career, Maggie returns to her hometown to reconnect with her estranged father — and perhaps herself.
There, she meets Cal Jones, a mysterious and rugged local played by none other than One Tree Hill and Superman & Lois star Chad Michael Murray. Yes, ladies and gentlemen — it’s another small-town romance with big feelings and even bigger secrets.
💘 What Makes It the “Next Virgin River”?
Just like Virgin River, this series leans into:
-
Small-town charm
-
Slow-burn romance
-
Emotional family reconnections
-
Picturesque scenery
While Virgin River gave us Jack and Mel, Sullivan’s Crossing introduces a new set of characters with familiar emotional beats — but fresh stories.
📉 Season 3 Didn’t Hit the Same?
Some viewers say Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3 didn’t quite match the magic of its first two seasons, citing slower pacing and less dramatic payoff. But that hasn’t dampened enthusiasm — especially with Season 4 on the horizon and more emotional twists on the way.
✅ Final Take: Should You Watch?
If you’re one of the millions hooked on Virgin River, there’s no doubt Sullivan’s Crossing will be right up your alley. It offers comfort viewing with heart, and Carr’s signature style of healing, hope, and second chances shines through in every scene.
With Virgin River Season 7 in post-production and Thunder Point — another Carr adaptation — still on the horizon, Sullivan’s Crossing is the perfect show to fill the romantic void this summer.
📅 Don’t Miss:
Sullivan’s Crossing hits Netflix US in July 2025 — so queue it up, grab your favorite blanket, and prepare to fall in love all over again.
