A new must-watch romantic drama series has rocketed up the Netflix charts – leaving viewers raving thanks to its Virgin River-esque action.

The Canadian TV show, which is already in its third season and made its debut in 2023 on CW, was dropped in full to the streaming service earlier this week.

Fans are already tuning in to binge watch all the episodes, which star the likes of Gilmore Girls’ Scott Patterson and When Hope Call’s Morgan Kohan.

It follows talented neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan as she returns to her hometown of Nova Scotia from Boston, USA, to reunite with her estranged father, Sully.

While Maggie is busy readjusting to the pace of life at home, she meets newcomer Cal, a local handyman, and a romantic connection begins to blossom.

As their feelings become harder and harder to ignore, Maggie must decide what to do, given she is already very much in love with boyfriend Andrew.

Created by Roma Roth and adapted from Robyn Carr’s book series of the same name, the three series have delved into the twisting love story.

And just days after its release, viewers have already been heaping praise on the series, telling other Netflix users it’s a ‘must watch’ after being left emotional from binge-watching the entire show.

‘The cast delivers authentic and compelling performances,’ one wrote on a reviews site. ‘It’s emotionally rich and beautifully crafted drama.’

Another chimed in: ‘Sullivan’s Crossing has me crying like a BABY,’ while a third agreed: ‘Sullivan’s Crossing on Netflix has me in a chokehold.’

‘So what if I watched the first two seasons of Sullivan’s Crossing in a few days?’ a fourth joked as they revealed they’d nearly finished all the episodes.

As a fifth concluded: ‘I finished in a matter of days and now want Season 4!’

Author Robyn is also the author of Virgin River, another Netflix hit series that ran for six series from 2019, with two more seasons confirmed to be in the works.

Earlier this year, Netflix fans admitted they ‘stayed up all night’ to watch the ‘utterly mesmerising’ romcom that they have dubbed ‘the best comfort TV you can stream.’

The soap opera Virgin River – starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson – premiered its sixth season back in January.

The small-screen adaptation of Robyn Carr’s bestselling book series first launched in 2019 and follows midwife Melinda ‘Mel’ Monroe (Alexandra).

Mel moves to the remote Northern Californian town of Virgin River to ‘start fresh’ but is soon surprised by who she finds there.

The talented ensemble also includes Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Jenny Cooper, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Lauren Hammersley, Grayson Gurnsey, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, and Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé, and Kai Bradbury.

Virgin River managed to beat Stranger Things’ record (2.3B minutes) for most-streamed show in its first three days of availability with an eye-popping 2.6B minutes – according to Variety.

In fact, the fourth season of the Northern California-set, small-town romantic drama was in the global top 10 most-streamed TV shows for 10 solid weeks in over 70 countries.

Sullivan’s Crossing is available to stream on Netflix now.
