From its premiere in 2023, Sullivan's Crossing has quickly developed into one of the most beloved small-town romantic dramas on television. Following Robyn Carr’s best-selling book series, the drama follows Maggie Sullivan, a neurosurgeon returning home to Nova Scotia following a scandal that changes her life forever, reuniting with her family and beginning a relationship with Cal Jones. After the Season 4 finale filled with emotions and the announcement of an official Season 5 renewal, fans are now anticipating details about what comes next for Maggie and Cal.

Following its official renewal, details about Sullivan's Crossing Season 5 have begun to emerge. 

Sullivan's Crossing Season 5 is officially happening. The anticipated romantic drama series is scheduled for its premiere in Spring 2027, more specifically in March or April. Still, the release date has yet to be determined by The CW and CTV. The new season of 10 episodes is planned to be shot in Nova Scotia between August 25 and December 11, 2026, allowing the series to stay within its anticipated annual schedule.

Renewal of the show indicates that the story about Maggie Sullivan and Cal Jones will continue after the touching finale of season 4. Hence, the viewers were left wondering about the further development of the main characters' love story. In addition, season 5 will retain the usual one-hour format of the show, around 42-45 minutes without advertisements.
