8 Essential Facts About ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ Season 4: Love, Secrets, and Shocking New Twists Ahead
Fans of Sullivan’s Crossing know the show isn’t afraid of emotional storms — and Season 4 looks ready to deliver the most dramatic weather yet. After Season 3’s explosive finale and months of speculation, details are finally emerging about what lies ahead for Maggie, Cal, and the residents of Nova Scotia’s most scenic (and scandal-filled) small town.
From returning stars to rumored plot twists, here are eight essential facts you need to know about Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 — the season that promises heartbreak, redemption, and more than one secret waiting to surface.
1. Production on Season 4 Is Officially Underway
Filming for Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 is now in motion, with the cast and crew returning to the show’s signature coastal locations in Nova Scotia. Creator Roma Roth confirmed that production began earlier this fall, promising “a season that will push every character to their emotional limits.”
The show, which airs on CTV in Canada and The CW in the United States, has become a breakout hit thanks to its mix of romance, family drama, and breathtaking scenery — often compared to Virgin River and Heartland.
2. The Core Cast Is Returning
Fans can rest easy knowing that their favorite trio will be back. Morgan Kohan returns as Maggie Sullivan, the brilliant but emotionally conflicted neurosurgeon who fled her big-city life to rebuild her world in Sullivan’s Crossing. Chad Michael Murray reprises his role as Cal Jones, the rugged and quietly loyal handyman-turned-love interest.
Also confirmed is Scott Patterson, who continues to bring warmth and complexity to the role of Sully Sullivan — Maggie’s estranged father and the heart of the community. Patterson’s performance remains a highlight of the series, grounding the show’s emotional turbulence with heart and humor.
3. Maggie’s Secret Husband Will Shake Everything
Season 3’s shocking revelation that Maggie is still legally married to her ex, Andrew (Allan Hawco), sent viewers reeling. Just as her romance with Cal seemed solid, the past came crashing back.
Creator Roma Roth has teased that Season 4 will explore the “messy reality” of Maggie’s situation — torn between the man she once loved and the man she’s building a new future with. “Maggie’s choices will define her,” Roth said. “It’s going to test not just her heart but her integrity.”
Expect emotional confrontations, difficult decisions, and at least one major fallout that could reshape the entire romantic landscape of Sullivan’s Crossing.
4. New Faces Will Arrive in Town
According to early casting reports, Season 4 will introduce several new characters who bring both opportunity and chaos to the small town. While names remain under wraps, Roth hinted that one new arrival will be “a catalyst for change” — possibly a rival doctor, an investor, or a newcomer tied to Maggie’s past.
These new additions are expected to stir up dynamics not just for Maggie and Cal but also among fan-favorite side characters like Edna, Frank, and newcomer Lola.
5. Cal’s Past May Finally Catch Up With Him
While much of the show has focused on Maggie’s healing, Season 4 could finally turn the spotlight back on Cal. His mysterious past — alluded to in earlier seasons — may resurface in surprising ways.
Chad Michael Murray hinted in an interview that “Cal’s history isn’t finished with him yet,” suggesting that unresolved trauma or old relationships could complicate his present happiness. Fans suspect his ex-wife or former colleagues could make an appearance, testing his bond with Maggie just as she faces her own secrets.
6. Big Emotional Themes: Forgiveness and Fresh Starts
At its heart, Sullivan’s Crossing has always been about second chances. Season 4 will continue to explore forgiveness — between Maggie and her father, between lovers, and even within the community itself.
Roth described the upcoming season as “a story about rebuilding trust — and realizing that healing doesn’t mean forgetting.” Expect plenty of emotional arcs centered around reconciliation, recovery, and learning to let go.
7. Beautiful Nova Scotia Remains the Star
Once again, the show’s picturesque filming locations along the Nova Scotia coast will play a starring role. Sweeping drone shots, lakeside sunsets, and cozy cabins continue to give Sullivan’s Crossing its warm, cinematic feel.
Roth and her team have hinted that Season 4 will feature “some of the most visually stunning episodes yet,” capturing both the beauty and isolation that define the small-town experience.
8. Release Date: Fans Will Have to Wait
While the cast is back on set, Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 isn’t expected to premiere until mid-to-late 2025. The show’s filming schedule typically wraps in early spring, with post-production running several months afterward.
That means fans will need to hold tight through a long hiatus — but judging by the teases so far, the wait will be worth it.
A Season Poised for Breakthrough
With romance, redemption, and a tangled web of secrets at its core, Sullivan’s Crossing Season 4 is shaping up to be the show’s most emotionally charged chapter yet.
For a series that began as a quiet story of escape and self-discovery, it’s now a global fan favorite. And if the finale’s cliffhanger taught viewers anything, it’s this: in Sullivan’s Crossing, love may heal wounds — but it never comes without consequences.
