The CW has faith in Sullivan’s Crossing — before it’s even premiered!

The network has renewed the drama for Season 2, Brad Schwartz, President of Entertainment, The CW Network has announced. The series is based on the books by Robyn Carr (whose novels Virgin River have become a hit adaptation on Netflix) and stars Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, and Scott Patterson. The CW will partner with Reel World Management, Bell Media’s CTV, and Fremantle for production on Season 2, set to begin later this year

“We can’t wait to bring Sullivan’s Crossing to our viewers this fall, and we are so confident that audiences are going to fall in love with it that we have committed early to a second season,” said Schwartz in a statement. “As partners for season two, we cannot wait to work alongside this talented cast and excellent creative team to deliver another emotionally captivating season. Audiences can give their hearts to this show knowing that it is coming back for much, much more.”

It also ranked as the highest-rated Canadian drama launch on CV in more than three years and consistently ranked as the #1 show in its time slot across key demographics and performed 51 percent higher than CTV’s primetime average for total viewers.
