The CW has renewed its Canadian romantic drama Sullivan's Crossing for a fifth season, starring Morgan Kohan and Chad Michael Murray, confirming a deal that follows the show's Canadian renewal by CTV and Crave more than a month earlier. The pickup underscores the series' growing popularity, driven partly by strong linear ratings for the CW and a significant boost from its availability on Netflix in the United States.

The new 10-episode season will begin filming in Nova Scotia later this summer and is set to premiere on the CW in 2027, maintaining its annual release pattern. Season 5 will introduce a new head writer, Floyd Kane, as creator Roma Roth steps back from that role while remaining an executive producer and developing another Robyn Carr adaptation, Thunder Point. The show, based on Carr's bestselling novels, has averaged over a million cross-platform viewers per episode this season, with linear viewership up 62% among adults 18-49, and its Season 4 Netflix debut reached number six on the platform's global English-language chart with three million views in its opening week.
