Season 2 of the romantic drama ended on a high note, and viewers are already eager for Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3. Luckily, there have been updates.
The second chapter concludes on June 9, 2024, and Season 2 has been quite the ride. Sully’s condition worsened, Cal and Maggie had their share of issues, and the campground readied for a storm.
All 10 episodes of Sullivan’s Crossing Season 2 were shot in scenic Nova Scotia, and the finale will lay the groundwork for more intertwining storylines.
The cast and crew aren’t ready to leave the Virgin River dupe behind, and official word about the binge-worthy TV show‘s future has arrived.
Will there be a Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3?
CTV confirmed Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3 on May 30, 2024.
The news was shared exclusively with TheCinemaholic ahead of Season 2’s finale.
Filming begins on August 1 in Nova Scotia and will conclude in November. Creator Roma Roth will continue as showrunner and Bradley Walsh and Gail Harvey will return to direct Season 3.
A release date hasn’t been shared but an update will arrive when production on the third season is further along.
When will it be released?
There’s currently no confirmed release date for Sullivan’s Crossing Season 3. However, its previous release pattern could give us some clues about when to expect it.
Let’s look at Season 2. It started production in September 2023, lasting for three months. New episodes arrived in April 2024 – which would suggest a standard turnaround time of four months.
Season 3 began filming in August 2024, and is due to wrap up in November. This means March 2025 looks like a likely release window, though nothing has been confirmed at this stage.
Season 1 was also released in March, back in 2023.

Who in the cast is returning?
Season 3’s cast has not been announced yet. We can expect Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, Tom Jackson, Andrea Menard, and Scott Patterson back.
There’s no word on an episode count, either. But considering both Season 1 and 2 had 10 episodes, Season 3 will likely have around 10 too.
The cast are loving Halifax, Nova Scotia, though. And the serene setting is home to Season 2’s great drama. Kohan told Brit+Co, “It has so many [classic, feel-good] elements.”
“One of the strengths of the show too is the community aspect of it, and how there’s so many people coming together,” Kohan said. “You kind of just want to find your people and feel supported and held.”
She added, “Cal is brand new to Maggie and they both have their walls up, but they’re also kind of trying to get to know each other. So because Chad and I [met] for the first time when we filmed this, it’s like as we’re getting to know each other and as we’re getting more comfortable with each other, it’s the same thing that’s happening with our characters on a different plane. But I think that brings an authenticity to it.”
While Kohan hasn’t technically confirmed her return or that filming is underway, her Instagram post from September 28 would suggest otherwise.
Season 3 plot
The most obvious plotline for Season 3 to pick up is whether Sully has survived the fire – but there’s also plenty to unpack in Maggie and Cal’s will-they-won’t-they relationship.
Shandon’s Diner exploded at the end of Season 2, with Sully still inside. But while he was definitely rescued, we’ve got no idea if he actually survived. If he didn’t… well, that’s going to be a short story. But if he did, we could see Sully shacked up in hospital for a while to come.
Maggie and Cal also need to deal with the problem of Andrew. Though it looks like the pair will go their separate ways, Andrew has undeniably caused a problem for Cal – but can the couple get things back on track?
