Which ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’ Stars Are — And Aren’t — Returning for Season 4?

Sullivan’s Crossing has fans worried about where certain story lines will go in season 4 — but is every cast member even returning to the show?

The CW series, which is based on a book series by Robyn Carr, follows neurosurgeon Maggie (Morgan Kohan) who must return to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. Viewers are introduced to her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), newcomer Cal (Chad Michael Murray) and more members of the community.

After Sullivan’s Crossing premiered on Netflix in July 2025, it found an even bigger audience. The cast, however, has been singing the show’s praises since it premiered on CTV before being broadcast on The CW.

“It’s always exciting to go to a new place with a new project [and] with new expectations. Everybody’s lovely. The work is deep and the collaboration is real. You’ve got a built-in audience with [Gilmore Girls] and now we’ve got Robyn Carr’s book audience,” Patterson told Us Weekly in October 2023. “So it’s kind of exciting to come into something that’s kind of established — has already an established fan base — and I can bring mine in. They can join forces and watch the show together and compare notes.”

Patterson highlighted how Sullivan’s Crossing left room for collaboration.

“I have a lot more freedom to create the role. I have a lot more input with what [Sully] says and what he does. I just love that about the show. I love that about the producers and the network and all the support they give. And [executive producer] Roma Roth is a very, very special showrunner,” he noted. “She really, really trusts her actors and she really listens. She just wants the best for the episode. She wants the best for the scene [and] she wants the best for the show. To me, that is the sign of a true leader. So we follow her lead, but she’s open to suggestions, which makes this so much stronger.”

At the time, Patterson shared how “respected” the cast got to feel on set.

“Everybody has a platform to voice their concerns or their opinions and state their ideas and they’re taken seriously,” he added. “It makes everybody feel like they’ve got skin in the game and that they’re helping to create this as we go along in a little way. Roma’s still the boss and she’s doing all of the heavy lifting. But she wants to hear our thoughts and that’s rare. That’s very, very special. I think that’s why this show feels so natural, so alive and [why] it’s been so successful so far. I hope that continues.”

Morgan Kohan

After getting to a hopeful place in her relationship with Cal, Maggie’s life got more complicated when her summer fling Liam (Marcus Rosner) arrived in Sullivan’s Crossing to reveal that he and Maggie are married.

“There’s never a dull moment at Sullivan’s Crossing,” showrunner Roth told Collider in July 2025. “A romance drama series needs to have push and pull between your characters… we’re going to have a pretty big shoe drop at the end of the season that we’ll get to see play out in Season 4.”

Chad Michael Murray

Murray will reprise his role as Cal, whom he has enjoyed getting to bring to life.

“I will say that Sullivan’s Crossing is a place you go to heal,” he told Parade in October 2023. “Sullivan’s Crossing is a place where you go to grow and to be honest with yourself.”

He continued: “What’s so beautiful about this show and why people, I believe, will just want more and more of it is because it’s slowing things down. We all work so hard that we don’t ever live. I think in this show there’s a lot more living than there is work.”

Season 4 will continue to show Edna trying to heal after a brain tumor caused her to lose her vision. Maggie ultimately performed a high-stakes surgery that saved Edna’s life.

Scott Patterson

Patterson, who has praised the show, will continue to bring Sully to life. The CW President Brad Schwartz told Deadline in July 2025 that the show isn’t going anywhere since there are five books in the series and Sullivan’s Crossing “still has a lot of runway left.”
