Sullivan’s Crossing, CTV’s beloved drama that drew 5 million viewers in 2024, returns for Season 4 on February 9, 2026, with a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score from early screenings, plunging Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) and Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray) into chaos as a buried marriage secret explodes. The explosive Episode 1 trailer, released October 23, 2025, unveils raw campfire arguments and tear-soaked confessions under starry Nova Scotia skies, sparked by a husband’s bombshell arrival, sparking 3.2M #SullivansShock posts as fans debate if their small-town fairy tale can survive.
The “shocking past” lie? A searing surge: Maggie, a neurosurgeon, faces her ex-husband Andrew’s (Lyriq Bent) return, revealing a hidden marriage she concealed from Cal, a lie etched with doubt that unspools a web of betrayal. Kohan’s Maggie? A “masterclass in mettle,” her fierce resolve warping to haunted dread, unraveling a ripple of regrets where Andrew’s “trusted past” surfaces as sabotage. Murray’s Cal? A “wounded romantic,” his trust cracking under pain’s weight. Co-stars deepen the drama: Scott Patterson as Sully, a “stoic father” with a sting; Amara Karan as a “scheming friend” with secrets. Robyn Carr’s script quivers with quips—“Love builds bridges, lies burn them”—but the “brutal” stakes bite: a botched reunion buries hope, a VVIP viper’s venom turns ally to foe.
The “redefining love”? Volcanic: Building on Season 3’s 2024 cliffhanger, Season 4 amps the “pacy” pathos with “moody” soundscapes and “authentic” Nova Scotia vibes, the “eerie stars” amplifying “grim themes.” The Globe and Mail’s John Doyle raves “pacy, poignant drama” with Kohan’s “reliably raw” heart; Variety’s Caroline Framke hails Murray’s “Icily Glamorous” intensity and the “haunting” score. Skeptics? “Mired in soap,” but the 1-in-2 twist-to-tension ratio hooks, BARB metrics outgunning The Jetty.
This isn’t small-town romance; it’s a requiem for resilience, Sullivan’s Crossing’s “secret” a flare for the fearless where love battles lies. Maggie’s mess? Mesmerizing. Cal’s clash? Captivating. February 2026? Not a drop—a deluge. Binge it; the confessions cut, the dramas devastate. Kohan’s grit? Glorious. The obsession? Overnight, inescapable.
