The romantic drama series was renewed by CTV at the Bell Media upfronts in June. The 10 x 60-minute season is set to debut on CTV and the CW in 2025. It is based on the book series by Robyn Carr and created by Reel World president and showrunner Roma Roth.

Halifax-shot Sullivan’s Crossing stars Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, Tom Jackson, Andrea Menard and Scott Patterson.

Season three is executive produced by Reel World Management in association with CTV, the CW and Fremantle. Marc Tetreault, Mark Gingras and Jason Levangie serve as producers. For Fremantle, Michela Di Mondo and Hilary Martin are executive producers. The series is distributed internationally by Fremantle.

A September report from the Canadian Media Producers Association revealed the series’ first season generated more than $47.5 million in economic activity in Nova Scotia and Ontario.
