On August 11, 2025, Chad Michael Murray, star of Sullivan’s Crossing, sent fans into a frenzy with tantalizing hints about Season 4 during an exclusive interview with People. The 43-year-old actor, who plays Cal Jones, teased major plot twists and relationship shake-ups while sharing a heartfelt family gesture that left him emotional. Filming began in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on August 7, with the 10-episode season set to premiere on The CW in 2026, per hollywoodnorthbuzz.com, and Murray’s revelations have X buzzing with anticipation.
Murray hinted at a turbulent season for Cal and Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) following Season 3’s cliffhanger, where Maggie’s secret husband, Liam (Marcus Rosner), appeared. “There’s a storm coming for Cal and Maggie—trust will be tested,” he said, suggesting Liam’s role will unravel Maggie’s past, per thenewsscroll.com. Showrunner Roma Roth echoed this, telling Collider that “a big shoe will drop,” with other relationships, like Sydney and Rafe’s, facing crossroads. Fans on X speculated wildly, with @SullivansFan tweeting, “Cal and Maggie can’t catch a break!”
Beyond the drama, Murray shared a touching story about his family’s support during filming. His wife, Sarah Roemer, and their three children surprised him on set with a handmade scrapbook filled with letters and drawings, titled “We’re With You, Dad.” “It gets me every time,” Murray said, tearing up, per People. The gesture, kept private until now, moved fans, with X posts like, “Chad’s family is adorable!” and “That scrapbook story broke me.” Murray, a father since 2015, emphasized how the show’s Nova Scotia setting allowed family integration, a priority after praying for such a role, per hellomagazine.com.
The series, a hit on Netflix with 22.1 million hours viewed in July 2025, per hollywoodnorthbuzz.com, faces a bittersweet catch: the 2026 release delays closure on Liam’s bombshell. Murray teased new characters and a possible time jump, per ew.com, while assuring fans that Cal’s bond with Sully (Scott Patterson) will deepen. “It’s going to be raw and real,” he said. X users, like @MaggieCal4ever, posted, “Chad’s hints have me screaming!”
As Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 films, Murray’s emotional connection to his role and family resonates, amplifying excitement for a season of heartbreak and hope. This heartfelt gesture and juicy teasers ensure fans will be glued to their screens when the drama unfolds.
