Description:
We wont be getting Virgin River season 7 until December 2025 at the earliest. In the meantime, Netflix has us covered with the sister show Sullivans Crossing.
FULL STORY ======================================================================
Its good news for those of us who cant wait to head back to Virgin River , because seasons 1-2 of Sullivans Crossing also created by author Robyn Carr are now available to stream on Netflix. You might have missed it in
everything new coming to Netflix in July 2025 , but theres a good reason why you shouldnt overlook it (and not just that season 3 is still to come).
Virgin River s success alone is nothing short of astonishing. Its now the longest-running original series on the platform, still pulling in almost 16 million viewers when season 6 dropped in December 2024. Virgin Rive r season
7 has officially wrapped filming, but no release date is confirmed as of writing.
Bad news, right? Wrong! Sullivans Crossing is the ideal new TV show to tide
us over in the meantime. Set in Canada rather than California, its the
epitome of cozy comfort drama with plenty of famous faces thrown in for good measure. Why I recommend watching Sullivans Crossing on Netflix
Neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) is looking to move away from her big city life in Boston after a terrible tragedy affects her personal life. She moves back to her childhood hometown of Sullivans Crossing, Nova Scotia, where her dad Sully (Scott Patterson) runs a campground. Maggie meets new resident Cal (Chad Michael Murray), and sparks soon fly. Where have we heard that
storyline before?
Sure, Sullivans Crossing is exactly the same as Virgin River if you strip it back to its bare bones, but in reality, the hit TV show is so much more than its big sister. For starters, the cast unites When Hope Calls Kohan, noughties teen heartthrob Murray and Gilmore Girls legend Patterson in family conflict that always pulls on the heartstrings, allowing each actor to do
what theyre best at. Obviously, it doesnt hurt that any drama takes place against the jaw-droppingly picturesque vistas of rural Canada.
Our main anchor points differ from Virgin River , too. Maggie is falling for Cal, but still has tenuous links to her ex, Andrew (Allan Hawco). In essence, this acts as the reverse of Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), who falls for newcomer Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) but hasnt fully broken things off with Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley). Sullivans Crossing takes its romantic triangle one step further, embroiling the trio in a messy pregnancy plot destined to change all of their lives for good.
Whats the best thing about Sullivans Crossing , I hear you ask? The beautiful mundanity of their day-to-day lives. Where rival TV shows like Riverdale and the reboot of Dynasty take the drama in their dynamics to the extreme, Sullivans Crossing always returns to the simplicity of what real life really looks like, and that pays off in its popularity. You can blissfully lose your mind to the till breaking at the campground reception, inane chatter
happening in the local diner and the many whimsical local events that bring the community together.
If you just cant wait for Virgin River to return, or want to immerse yourself in more of the same, theres no question that Sullivans Crossing will scratch that itch.
