In the enchanting world of small-town romances, few shows capture the soul quite like Sullivan’s Crossing. Adapted from Robyn Carr’s beloved novels—the same literary genius behind the evergreen Virgin River—this Canadian gem has woven its way into the hearts of millions. As of November 2025, with the current date marking November 24, fans are buzzing with anticipation: Season 4 is officially greenlit and barreling toward Netflix screens, potentially landing before the December holidays. If you’ve been craving that perfect blend of heartfelt healing, steamy tension, and community chaos, mark your calendars—this isn’t just a renewal; it’s a full-throttle revival that’s set to dominate streaming charts.

For the uninitiated, Sullivan’s Crossing follows Dr. Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan), a high-powered neurosurgeon whose life unravels in Boston after a scandal forces her back to her roots in the idyllic Nova Scotia town of Timberlake. There, at her father’s rustic campground, Sullivan’s Crossing, she reconnects with estranged family, navigates explosive family secrets, and sparks an irresistible slow-burn romance with the brooding firefighter Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray). Supporting the star-crossed duo is the gruff yet lovable Sully (Scott Patterson, channeling his Gilmore Girls charm), whose wisdom anchors the series’ emotional core. Roma Roth, the executive producer who helmed Virgin River, infuses the show with that signature warmth: think misty forests, crackling campfires, and revelations that hit harder than a winter storm.

Season 3, which exploded onto Netflix in August 2025 after airing on CTV and The CW, left viewers reeling. Maggie’s decision to pursue Canadian medical licensing for a local practice was a triumphant arc, but the finale’s “big shoe drop”—a teaser of hidden misdeeds and unresolved grief over her miscarriage—hinted at darker storms ahead. Production for Season 4 kicked off in Nova Scotia earlier this year, with Carr herself confirming in interviews that the stakes will skyrocket. Expect deeper dives into Maggie’s ethical dilemmas, Cal’s lingering trust issues from his past, and Sully’s health battles that test the Crossing’s unbreakable bonds. Whispers from the set suggest new faces joining the fray, including potential love interests and long-lost relatives, amplifying the drama that made Seasons 1-3 Netflix’s top global hits.

What elevates Sullivan’s Crossing above the rom-drama pack? It’s the authenticity. Filmed amid Nova Scotia’s breathtaking landscapes—from rugged coastlines to cozy diners—the series feels like a warm hug laced with bitters. Kohan’s portrayal of Maggie evolves from guarded city girl to resilient hometown hero, while Murray’s Cal delivers that swoon-worthy mix of vulnerability and valor. And let’s not forget the ensemble: Andrea Menard as the wise Frank, Tom Jackson as the enigmatic Rafe—each adding layers of cultural depth and humor to the tapestry.

As Netflix secures streaming rights post-CW premiere, the platform’s track record with Carr’s works (Virgin River Season 7 looms large) promises binge-worthy drops. With male loneliness and female empowerment themes resonating louder than ever—echoing real-world stats on rural mental health crises—the show transcends escapism. It’s a reminder that home isn’t a place, but the messy, beautiful people who make it so.

Sheryl Woods might craft stellar tales, but Carr’s Sullivan’s Crossing is the heir apparent to Virgin River‘s throne. With Season 4 eyeing a 2026 rollout—possibly teasing episodes by late 2025—fans, rejoice. This is more than TV; it’s therapy in 10-episode doses. Stream Seasons 1-3 now, and prepare for the Crossing to call you home again. Who knows what secrets the campfire will whisper next?
