The acquisition marks the first time the CTV Original series will be available to audiences in Brazil.
Based on the New York Times best-selling novels by Robyn Carr and adapted for television by executive producer and showrunner Roma Roth, Sullivan’s Crossing stars Morgan Kohan (When Hope Calls), Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill) and Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls). The first season is set to launch on Globoplay in March 2026.
Shot against the idyllic backdrop of Nova Scotia, Sullivan’s Crossing is a character-driven drama centered on family, forgiveness and second chances. When neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan’s (Morgan Kohan) once bright career suddenly unravels, she is forced to return to the small town she thought she had outgrown. There, she must face her estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), and the unresolved feelings she left behind.
Life at the Crossing is complicated, but also full of unexpected comfort. Old friendships resurface, new bonds are formed, and Maggie begins to rediscover the power of community, where neighbours show up for one another, and healing often begins in the most ordinary of moments.
Her journey takes a turn when she meets Cal Jones (Chad Michael Murray), a quiet newcomer with a past he doesn’t easily share. As their connection deepens, Maggie learns that starting over means not just confronting old wounds but opening herself to love and belonging.
Blending heartfelt relationships with drama, Sullivan’s Crossing is about resilience, reconciliation, and finding your way home, even when it’s the last place you expected.
Since its launch, Sullivan’s Crossing has become a global smash hit, capturing the hearts of fans all over the world with Fremantle selling the series to more than 180 territories. The series’ upcoming fourth season is set to premiere in Canada on CTV and Crave this Spring, with a premiere date to be announced.
