Original Drama Series “Sullivan’s Crossing” from Bestselling Author Robyn Carr of “Virgin River” to Premiere on The CW Network in Fall 2023

The CW Network has partnered with CTV and Fremantle on SULLIVAN’S CROSSING, a 10-episode hour-long drama series based on the books by #1 New York Times Bestselling author Robyn Carr, it was announced today by Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network. Starring Morgan Kohan (“Transplant,” “Batwoman“) alongside fan-favorite actors Chad Michael Murray (“One Tree Hill“) and Scott Patterson (“Gilmore Girls“), SULLIVAN’S CROSSING will make its U.S. debut on The CW in Fall 2023.

“SULLIVAN’S CROSSING is an emotionally rich, authentic family drama that will immediately resonate with audiences thanks to an incredible cast and relatable themes of self-reflection, second chances, and the power of community,” commented Schwartz. “Alongside a breakout performance from Morgan Kohan, it is incredibly special to bring Chad and Scott back home to The CW.”

Maggie Sullivan (Kohan) is a star neurosurgeon who seemingly has it all, until her business partner is indicted for fraud and she finds herself charged with negligence. Looking to distance herself from the fallout, Maggie decides to leave Boston and return to her childhood home of Sullivan’s Crossing, a rustic and remote campground set against the stunning coastline still run by her estranged father, Sully Sullivan (Patterson). There, Maggie rekindles old friendships and builds new ones with the local residents, including a handsome newcomer, Cal Jones (Murray), who only serves to complicate her life further. As Maggie works on clearing her name and reputation, she is forced to confront her painful past, as she attempts to reconnect with a side of herself she had long forgotten.
