Sullivan’s Crossing is making a major change for season 5.
The romantic drama series is based on the books by Robyn Carr, who also wrote the source material for Netflix’s hit show Virgin River. Sullivan’s Crossing is centered on neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) after legal trouble sends her back to Nova Scotia, which is where she grew up. While there, she rebuilds a relationship with her estranged father, Harry “Sully” Sullivan (Scott Patterson), and has a romantic bond with California “Cal” Jones (Chad Michael Murray).
According to Deadline, series creator Roma Roth will no longer serve as the showrunner and head writer in Sullivan’s Crossing season 5. Floyd Kane will be taking over these responsibilities, although Roth will remain an executive producer. The news comes after season 5 was renewed by Canada’s CTV but has still not been picked up by the CW, which is where it has aired in the United States since season 1.
