Hey, Virgin River fans — if you’re counting down the days until Season 7 and need a new show to sink your teeth into, we’ve got some exciting news! Netflix has just dropped Sullivan’s Crossing, the perfect companion to tide you over until your next fix of small-town drama, swoon-worthy romance, and plenty of soapy twists. And the best part? It’s based on a book series by none other than Virgin River author Robyn Carr. Intrigued? You should be!

🌟 What is Sullivan’s Crossing All About?

If you’ve ever found yourself hopelessly invested in the charming life of Virgin River, then Sullivan’s Crossing will feel like a homecoming. The series follows Maggie, a young neurosurgeon (played by Morgan Kohan), who leaves the big city behind after a devastating professional tragedy. She heads back to her roots, reconnecting with her estranged father, Sully (the amazing Scott Patterson, best known as Luke from Gilmore Girls), and getting caught up in a small-town romance with Chad Michael Murray’s character, Cal — who’s got his own heartbreaking past.

Yes, you’re already seeing the Virgin River vibes, right? A woman dealing with personal loss, a fresh start in a scenic small town, and a local man with an equally complicated backstory. There’s definitely a lot of familiar magic here!

🏞️ So, What’s the Big Deal?

At its heart, Sullivan’s Crossing offers that comforting combination of small-town charm, emotionally driven relationships, and the kind of tension you’ve come to love from Robyn Carr’s stories. Think Virgin River, but with a bit more of a millennial twist, thanks to the presence of Chad Michael Murray (who still holds that heartthrob status) and Scott Patterson (a fan-favorite from Gilmore Girls).

It’s no surprise that Sullivan’s Crossing has been quickly climbing the Netflix TV Top 10 charts, just one day after its release! The series had previously been available on The CW website and app in the U.S., but its Netflix debut means that a whole new group of fans can now enjoy the romantic drama.

🎬 What’s Next? Catch the Whole Story

The first two seasons are now streaming on Netflix, so you can dive in and catch up on all the drama. However, if you binge through those quickly (and trust us, it’s totally binge-worthy!), you’ll have to hop over to the CW app to watch Season 3. The season finale is airing on July 16, so there’s a little more to go before you can fully catch up.

But don’t worry — Sullivan’s Crossing isn’t going anywhere anytime soon. Season 4 is already on the way, confirmed after a recent renewal announcement. So, if you fall in love with the show, there’s plenty more coming your way!

🏡 Why Sullivan’s Crossing Feels So Familiar

If you’re a Virgin River fan, the similarities between the two shows are undeniable. They both explore the healing power of small-town living, deep emotional connections, and a cast of characters who are all trying to rebuild their lives — and, of course, fall in love in the process.

Maggie’s journey in Sullivan’s Crossing is reminiscent of Mel’s in Virgin River, as both women face personal loss and seek solace in the quiet comfort of a close-knit community. And while there are key differences in the stories, the comforting, swoon-worthy vibes are ever-present.

💬 Sullivan’s Crossing is Here to Stay!

While we wait for more Virgin River news — Season 7 is on the way, y’all! — Sullivan’s Crossing offers the perfect emotional escape. Whether you’re craving a bit of romance, some family drama, or just a heartwarming small-town tale, this series has it all.

So, grab your popcorn, curl up on the couch, and get ready for a binge session that will make the wait for Virgin River feel just a little bit more bearable.
