TORONTO (March 4, 2025) – Following the breakout success of the first two seasons of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, the CTV Original drama returns for a third season Sundays at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app beginning April 27, and streams next day on Crave. From the team behind VIRGIN RIVER, and adapted by executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth from the New York Times bestselling novels by beloved author and Virgin River scribe Robyn Carr, SULLIVAN’S CROSSING stars Morgan Kohan (WHEN HOPE CALLS), alongside Chad Michael Murray (ONE TREE HILL), and Scott Patterson (GILMORE GIRLS). Set and filmed in Nova Scotia, Season 3 consists of 10 one-hour episodes. Season 2 left fans cheering after the Sullivan family’s campground had been saved from auction and Maggie (Kohan) finally confessed her love to Cal Jones (Murray). But viewers quickly found themselves at the edge of their seats again when Sully (Patterson) failed to emerge from a burning diner. As Season 3 of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING begins, Maggie makes the decision to leave her career as a neurosurgeon behind to help run her father Sully’s campground. But trading the adrenaline of the OR for a slower paced life at the Crossing won’t be easy, and Maggie will be faced with many challenges as she continues her journey from the head to the heart. Returning for Season 3 alongside Morgan Kohan as Dr. Maggie Sullivan, Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones, and Scott Patterson as Harry “Sully” Sullivan, are singer and companion of the Order of Canada, Tom Jackson (CARDINAL) as Frank Cranebear; actor, singer, songwriter, Andrea Menard (VELVET DEVIL) as Edna Cranebear; Amalia Williamson (BRIA MACK GETS A LIFE) as Lola Gunderson; Lindura (GHOSTS) as Sydney Shandon; Dakota Taylor (ZERO CHILL) as Rafe; and Reid Price (THE SINNER ) as Rob Shandon. Joining the ensemble cast this season in guest-starring roles are Steve Lund (BITTEN) as Cooper, the new Fire Chief; Kate Vernon (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA) in the role of Helen Culver, a best-selling author who’s come to stay at the Crossing; and Joel Oulette (AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER) as Frank’s cousin Jacob Cranebear. Plus, Torri Higginson (TRANSPLANT) and John Ralston (VIRGIN RIVER) guest star as Cal’s mother Marissa and father Jed, respectively; with returning guest stars Peter Outerbridge (DESIGNATED SURVIVOR) as Walter Lancaster; Cindy Sampson (PRIVATE EYES) as Jane; and Deam Armstrong (QUEER AS FOLK) as Glenn Perry also back for Season 3. On the Season 3 premiere of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, “New Beginnings” (Sunday, April 27 at 7 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, CTV.ca, and the CTV app, and streaming next day on Crave), Maggie (Morgan Kohan) has officially packed up her life in Boston and moved to Nova Scotia to help run the Outpost and make Sullivan’s Crossing her home. Though she wants to finally take her relationship with Cal (Chad Michael Murray) to the next level, she finds herself struggling to connect with him. Edna (Andrea Menard) and Frank (Tom Jackson) make some much-needed changes at the store, rubbing certain people the wrong way, and bestselling author, Helen (guest star Kate Vernon, BATTLESTAR GALACTICA), comes to the Crossing to finish her new book. Sydney (Lindura) and Rafe (Dakota Taylor) get caught in a compromising position by Rafe’s new boss, Cooper (guest star Steve Lund, BITTEN), and Rob (Reid Price) receives distressing news from the insurance company. Exclusive videos are available throughout the season on @SullivansCrossingCTV’s social channels, and on CTV.ca and the CTV app, providing viewers with an extension of the series with bonus digital content. Viewers can also catch up on Season 1 and 2 of SULLIVAN’S CROSSING on CTV.ca and the CTV app with no subscription or sign-in required.
