Netflix’s Best Cozy Romance Series Is Climbing Global Charts Ahead of Season 4
Yesterday, Virgin River fans were treated to a sight for sore eyes when Netflix dropped the debut trailer for the show’s highly-anticipated seventh season. Now that it’s been more than one year since the title celebrated its Season 6 finale, patience is waning within the fandom for more episodes of the cozy drama that stars Alexandra Breckenridge (My Secret Santa) and Martin Henderson (The Ring). While going back and binging the entirety of the series is certainly on the to-do lists of some fans, others are turning to the streamer’s on-point equivalent to keep them going during these trying times.
Set in the titular Northern California town, Virgin River follows the lives of an intertwined community, who share their highest highs and lowest lows with one another for better or for worse. From what we saw in yesterday’s trailer, there are plenty of exciting things looming over the horizon for the title’s Season 7 return, including the potential of Mel (Breckenridge) and Jack (Henderson) getting the family they’ve always wanted and the comeback of the town physician, Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson), after a slight stumble.
If these small-town tales are the kind that you find yourself drawn towards, and you want to get to know an entirely new cast of characters ahead of Virgin River’s next batch of episodes, you can join the already growing list of people from around the globe who are tuning into Sullivan’s Crossing. According to FlixPatrol, the Virgin River replacement series is a worldwide success, nabbing the sixth spot on Netflix’s coveted Top 10 chart. The spike in viewership is notable, as the third season aired last spring and summer, meaning months have passed since new episodes were released. And yet, perhaps thanks to a Season 4 greenlight, Sullivan’s Crossing is making its way back into the spotlight.
Who’s Behind ‘Sullivan’s Crossing’?
If Sullivan’s Crossing feels eerily familiar during your first watch-through, that’s because it hails from the same mind behind Virgin River. Both projects are based on the beloved novels by Robyn Carr and feature powerful leading ladies who leave their lives in the big city behind to strike out in smaller surroundings. Leading the cast of Sullivan’s Crossing is a lineup that includes Morgan Kohan (When Hope Calls), Chad Michael Murray (One Tree Hill), Scott Patterson (Gilmore Girls), Tom Jackson (Outlander), and Andrea Menard (Supernatural).
Sullivan’s Crossing is now streaming on Netflix.
