In October 2023, U.S. fans rushed to the CW network to witness the premiere of a brand-new drama called Sullivan's Crossing.
Based on the book series by writer Robyn Carr (who also wrote the literary series that inspired the hit Netflix show Virgin River), the story follows neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan), who seeks refuge in her hometown of Sullivan's Crossing after being sued in Boston for negligence. Along the way, she builds and reconciles a number of different relationships, including with the elusive Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray) and her estranged father, Harry "Sully" Sullivan (Scott Patterson).
Since the show's U.S. premiere (it originally aired in Canada), fans have been dying to know more about Maggie and her life in the idyllic town — and thankfully, it seems like we're going to get the chance to really dive in.
