From the same writer who brought you Mel and Jack’s love story, comes another heartwarming, small-town drama worth falling for.

If the emotional rollercoaster of Virgin River Season 6 left you yearning for more heartfelt storytelling, scenic landscapes, and deeply personal journeys — Netflix might have just what you need next.

While fans wait for answers following that dramatic finale (what did happen to Charmaine?), there’s another gem quietly making waves: Sullivan’s Crossing — based on a novel by Virgin River author Robyn Carr and brought to life by Roma Roth, the executive producer behind Virgin River itself.

 Small Town, Big Hearts

Sullivan’s Crossing follows Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan), a neurosurgeon whose life in Boston is upended by personal and professional upheaval. She returns to her hometown — the titular Sullivan’s Crossing — seeking solace, only to uncover tangled relationships, old wounds, and a chance at new love.

Fans of Virgin River will immediately recognize the emotional depth and character-driven storytelling. Plus, it doesn’t hurt that Chad Michael Murray plays Maggie’s charming love interest Cal Jones, and Scott Patterson (yes, Gilmore Girls’ Luke!) stars as her estranged father Harry “Sully” Sullivan.

Where to Watch — And Who Can See It

Though the show first premiered on CTV in Canada in March 2023, and later aired on The CW in the U.S., international fans are still waiting for Netflix to add the series to their library.

For now, U.S. viewers can stream Sullivan’s Crossing through services like:

• Hulu + Live TV

• YouTube TV

• Sling TV

• FuboTV

Season 3 officially premiered in the U.S. on May 7 at 8pm ET on The CW, and according to show insiders, this new chapter dives even deeper into fan-favorite characters and their complicated, moving stories.

 What Fans Are Saying

Over on Reddit, the Virgin River fanbase has already started singing praises:

“Loved Sullivan’s Crossing. Great characters. Storylines more realistic and modern.” — DeeSusie200

“Hopefully, since the books are more realistic and modern, not many storylines will change like VR. I hope it airs in the US. I would love to see it.” — Stayready10

 A Natural Follow-Up to Virgin River

Filmed against the stunning backdrops of Halifax, Nova Scotia, Sullivan’s Crossing captures the same comforting yet emotionally rich tone that made Virgin River a global hit. It’s the perfect series to fill the gap while fans wait for Season 7 — and it carries the same DNA: heartfelt drama, a touch of romance, and plenty of secrets waiting to be revealed.
