Sullivan’s Crossing‘s Cal and Maggie faced a multitude of issues before potentially getting engaged.
Season 4 showed Maggie (Morgan Kohan) and Cal (Chad Michael Murray) dealing with many obstacles after the return of her ex-husband, Liam (Marcus Rosner). Despite a brief breakup, Maggie and Cal ended up in a good place — and he even proposed.
Things got complicated again though when a social worker brought Tracy, a member of Lola’s (Amalia Williamson) youth group, and revealed her foster parents are no longer able to care for her. Cal and Maggie are now faced with the possibility of having to step up as Tracy’s temporary guardians.
Based on a book series by Robyn Carr, Sullivan’s Crossing follows neurosurgeon Maggie as she returns to her hometown in rural Nova Scotia. She finds herself reconnecting with estranged father, Sully (Scott Patterson), newcomer Cal and more members of the community.
Sullivan’s Crossing was previously renewed for a fifth season, which is expected to premiere in 2027 on CTV. After airing in Canada, the hit show will follow up with episodes on The CW and then on Netflix presumably in the summer once the show wraps up on cable.
Before the season 4 premiere, Us Weekly broke the news in March 2026 that Patterson would not be reprising his role as Harry “Sully” Sullivan.
“Season 3 of Sullivan’s Crossing ended with Sully leaving for Ireland, beginning a new chapter in his life. Season 4 picks up the next day, with Sully still overseas,” Roth shared with Us. “While he isn’t physically present in this season, the character remains an important part of the world with the potential to be included in future seasons should that align with the ongoing creative.”
Patterson later hinted at what caused his surprising departure, writing via Instagram, “The creative differences were becoming untenable and I just sadly realized that the show was not something that I could agree to continue.”
Patterson later clarified it wasn’t always his vision to leave Sullivan’s Crossing.
Sullivan’s Crossing is weathering multiple cast exits ahead of season 5 — but where did every character end up amid the changes?

“It’s unfortunate that it is now being implied that they moved on from me/Sully when the fact is the complete opposite, and those who sadly already have spoken out are also fully aware of this fact, and yet chose to say otherwise,” he continued. “I was not intending to make any statement but the fans of the books and the show deserve to know the truth as I have always been respectful of those who support this industry by watching and loving these characters we are so dang lucky and blessed to portray and bring to life.”
Amalia Williamson, who is currently starring alongside Brooke Shields on Acorn TV’s You’re Killing Me, has also been unsure about her future on the show.
“I don’t know,” she told Us while noting that she has to work around her filming schedule for You’re Killing Me, which was recently renewed.
“It depends on when we film our second season,” she shared. “I don’t know. I would love to go back. I love my Sullivan’s Crossing family. I miss them.”
Sullivan’s Crossing is streaming on Netflix.
