The series is based on the books by Robyn Carr (whose novels Virgin River have become a hit adaptation on Netflix) and stars Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, and Scott Patterson. The CW will partner with Reel World Management, Bell Media’s CTV, and Fremantle for production on Season 2, set to begin later this year

Sullivan’s Crossing is described as “a series about healing, letting go and ultimately opening yourself up to a world of new opportunities.” Maggie Sullivan (Kohan) must leave her career in Boston and her boyfriend Andrew (Allan Hawco) after her life is thrown into turmoil. She takes refuge in the titular campground run by her estranged father Sully (Patterson) and must navigate her complicated present while confronting her painful past. Maggie meets Cal Jones (Murray), a mysterious stranger helping her father, and they hit it off like oil and vinegar. But he does begin to grow on her, which complicates choosing between a life in Boston and one in Sullivan’s Crossing.
