The Craziest Moments From This Week's "Sullivan's Crossing" Episode

sullivan's crossing

Once you start lighting fall candles, grabbing fluffy blankets, and baking banana bread, you might as well invest in a flashing neon sign that reads "It's Gilmore Girls Season." The cozy drama has everything we're looking for once the weather turns chilly: a small town, deep relationships, and wacky traditions that make you want to hop inside your screen and live in Stars Hollow with Rory, Lorelai, and Lane.

While we're rewatching GG for the [insert crazy number because we've lost count] time, we've also always got our eyes peeled for new TV shows. The CW's new family drama, Sullivan's Crossing, is perfect for Gilmore Girls fans — and not only because it features two of the same actors. Here's everything we know about the new series.

Everything That Happened On "Sullivan's Crossing" Season 1 Episode 4: 'Rock & A Hard Place'

Right off the bat, "Rock & A Hard Place" is the craziest Sullivan's Crossing episode so far this season. The two college boys we met during episode 2 have taken Chelsea and we have no idea whether Frank — who's just been shot — is going to be okay. Thankfully, when Maggie and Cal (and then Sully) find Frank, they're able to patch him up temporarily before the ambulance takes him to the hospital.

The shortest scenes in the episode also turn out to be the most memorable: While Maggie and Cal go after Chelsea, Sully tells Edna that Frank is in the hospital. Their conversation is an emotional one, which makes for a very impactful scene, even if it is a short one. Everyone finally reunites after rescuing Chelsea, but the Police Chief Tom is *not* happy Maggie got involved. Sully stands up for her, and it seems like we're finally taking a step towards a true reconciliation! I will not rest until Maggie and Sully have the heart-to-heart they need!

The episode also plants some very ~interesting~ seeds for the future of the story. Jackson meets a new camper named Caleb, whom he's trying to convince to go rock climbing, and Maggie and Cal continue to grow closer. But as we learn that Sully's behind on loan payments, Maggie learns her deposition is two weeks away — before Cal admits he's a lawyer and offers to help her prepare. (I did not see this one coming). This episode was definitely a roller coaster and I'm already itching for episode 5!

What's the story of Sullivan's Crossing?

Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) is a Boston neurosurgeon who's got it all. But when her business partner is indicted for fraud, Maggie is charged with negligence and decides to move back to Sullivan's Crossing. Not only is she swapping the big city for a rustic campground, but she's also connecting with her estranged father Sully (Scott Patterson) and with Cal (Chad Michael Murray), a handsome newcomer who's been helping her dad since she left. With the coastal town as her new home base, Maggie has to clear her reputation, and confront the painful parts of her past.

Who's in the cast?

In addition to Scott Patterson as Sully, Chad Michael Murray as Cal (who we love as Luke and Tristan, respectively, on Gilmore Girls!), and Morgan Kohan as Maggie, Sullivan's Crossing stars Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear and Andrea Menard as Edna Cranebear.

The show is premiering on The CW October 4 at 8pm eastern time. but considering it already premiered in Canada, you can also create an account with CTV and watch it before it hits American television.

How many episodes of Sullivan's Crossing are there?

Season one of Sullivan's Crossing will have 10 episodes. The series premieres October 4 and is set to have its finale on December 6.

Will there be a season 2 of Sullivan's Crossing?

Image via Michael Tompkins/Fremantle

Yes! In June 2023, CTV and The CW renewed Sullivan's Crossing for season 2.

Where is Sullivan's Crossing filmed?

The first season of Sullivan's Crossing began filming in June of 2022 at Shubie Park in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. Shubie Park features a green space and trails, but since it borders Lake Charles, it also features a beach area. Canada is a huge filming location, and has seen shows like Riverdale, The Flash, The Good Doctor, Chesapeake Shores, and Virgin River!

Is Sullivan's Crossing a spin off of Virgin River?

Sullivan's Crossing is based on the book series of the same name, written by Robyn Carr. Carr also wrote the Virgin River novels! So while this new series might not be a direct spin off of Virgin River, it is definitely safe to assume they exist in the same universe. The show is also executive produced by Roma Roth and Christopher E. Perry, the team behind Virgin River.

This show offers a unique twist on the detective genre by blending comedy with mystery in a wonderful way. Monk follows Adrian Monk, played by Tony Shalhoub, who is a brilliant but neurotic detective with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

His phobias and quirks often lead to complications and plenty of hijinks at work. Nonetheless, his unrivaled detective skills still make Adrian one of the best in the business. Monk ran for a total of eight seasons and paved the way for Mr Monk's Last Case: A Monk Movie, which came out in 2023.

Fleabag is obviously driven by Phoebe Waller-Bridge's outstanding performance, but it also has great supporting actors, including Andrew Scott, Sian Clifford, Brett Gelman, Olivia Colman, Jenny Rainsford, and Bill Patterson.

Will there be a season 2 of The Pitt?

Warrick Page/Max

Yes, The Pitt season 2 is coming to Max! And according to Deadline, the upcoming season will take place over Fourth of July weekend.

Not only is The Pitt season 2 on its way, but it's coming super soon! The sophomore season will debut on Max in January 2026. This is a huge relief (and delight) because it breaks the awful pattern we've fallen into recently of waiting two to three years in between seasons of a show.

We want creativity. We want passion. We don’t want ego coming to play. We have tremendous people showing up excited.”

“There’s no differentiation between the foreground and the background crew,” he continued. “We are all the company, and we are all going to have a very immersive experience. It’s a very atypical way of working, and hopefully, they’ll come away with something very special.”

Where is The Pitt filmed?

Warrick Page/Max

The Pitt season 1 was mainly filmed on a soundstage in Burbank, California, but a few of the exterior shots were taken in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, where the show is set.

Stay tuned for more news on The Pitt season 2. And read up on the latest news about Netflix's medical drama Pulse.

Just when you thought The White Lotus season 3 finale covered it all, Mike White revealed some there were missing storylines and scenes from the finale cut. The 90-minute finale finally solved the dark murder mystery for the audience, with the cast’s emotional reactions to Chelsea and Rick’s deaths taking center stage. However, there was another undoubtedly viral scene that didn’t make the cut — a sex scene between Piper Ratliff (Sarah Catherine Hook) and Zion (Nicholas Duvernay). Yeah, you read that correctly.

Scroll to find out all the tea on those insane Piper Ratliff deleted scenes we totally wish were in The White Lotusseason 3!

HBO

Remember that uncomfortable dialogue between brothers Saxon (Patrick Schwarzenegger) and Lochlan (Sam Nivola) early on, when Saxon inquired about his sister's virginity? Well, White was looking to wrap that storyline up. The creator said during The White Lotus Official Podcast bonus episode that “she decided to lose her virginity in the script in the last episode.” He describes the cut as “disappointing,” adding that “she actually has sex with Zion.”

“There’s this whole scene where she’s like ‘It’s true. Saxon is right about this one thing. I need to get this over with,’” White said. Apparently, this was supposed to happen after Piper’s revelation that she needs material items to live, kicking her soulful journey of Buddhism to the curb.

White says, “And you know how after she leaves the monastery she’s just like, ‘I need to have sex.’ But in the end, it was one of these things where it was like, it’s already an hour and a half. It would have added 10 minutes to the thing. And it had a little bit of a rom-com vibe in the middle of trying to kill the family with the pong pong fruits. It just felt like I was trying to do too much narratively.”

HBO

During the cast’s Q&A finale panel at the Four Seasons Hotel Westlake Village, California, which Brit + Co attended, Hook revealed yet another piece of her character’s story that was left out.

“Mike wrote a lot for this season, and so he had to make some cuts,” Hook told the audience.

“There was this really funny bit with Piper that [White] made, and we filmed it.” In episode two, Ratliff is doing yoga when a man looks at her, and let’s just say her reaction is less than enthused. “There was an encounter like that in almost every episode, and it didn't make it.”

The Cruel Intentions star added, “I just thought it was funny because it was just — Is it in her head? Is it real? It was like she's very uncomfortable in her body.” The actress concluded that she thought it was “cool” and “sad” that those snippets didn’t make the final cut.

With that action packed finale leaving us tearful and utterly shocked simultaneously, we can understand why Piper and Zion’s love scene had to take a backseat.

The Sunrise on the Reaping cast might be the best movie cast of 2026 — and it definitely proves that the Hunger Games team knows exactly what to look for when casting a role. Charlie Plummer as Haymitch? Jesse Plemons as Plutarch? Ralph Fiennes as President Snow? I didn't think it could get much better than that...and then it was announced that Elle Fanning and Emma Thompson could join Sunrise on the Reaping too. I literally just tweeted the other day about Elle joining the movie so it looks like we're all on the same page. Thank you Lionsgate!

Here's everything we know about those Elle Fanning & Emma Thompson Sunrise on the Reaping cast rumors.

Who's playing Effie Trinket in Sunrise on the Reaping?

Elle Fanning has reportedly been offered the role of a young Effie Trinket (played by Elizabeth Banks in the original Hunger Games series), who serves as the District 12 stylist in the 50th Hunger Games.

And the internet has gone crazy. "The most locked in casting director of recent memory," one X user tweeted, while another said, "she's so perfect for the role."

"if this is true then their casting is on point!" a third person adds.

Elle's not the only casting rumor we've heard in the last 48 hours! Emma Thompson is also rumored to be joining the cast as Drusilla Sickle, the District 12 escort (a position Effie holds in the 74th Hunger Games). I quite literally can't think of anyone else more perfect than these two.

As far as fancasts go, Ellen Pompeo is a popular choice for Mags and Maya Hawke is fans' pick for Wiress. Stay tuned for the official Sunrise on the Reaping cast list!

Who else is in the Sunrise on the Reaping cast?

While we haven't heard any rumors about Maysilee Donner, Wyatt Callow, Louella McCoy and Lou Lou, Lenore Dove, Wiress, Mags, Beetee, and Ampert. The other rumored cast members include:

  • Charlie Plummer as Haymitch Abernathy: a 16-year-old tribute from District 12 competing in the 50th Hunger Games.
  • Ralph Fiennes as President Snow: Panem's President after serving as District 12's mentor in the 10th Hunger Games.
  • Jesse Plemons as Plutarch Heavensbee: District 12's cameraman.
  • Kieran Culkin as Caesar Flickerman: the tribute interview host.
Francis Lawrence will direct Sunrise on the Reaping, while Billy Ray writes the script and Brad Simpson & Nina Jacobson serve as producers.

When can I watch Sunrise on the Reaping?

Sunrise on the Reaping is coming to theaters November 20, 2026.

Who do you want to see in the Sunrise on the Reaping cast? Check out our Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes interview with Hunger Games producer Nina Jacobson!

Nexus Point News was the first to report Elle's potential casting.

Oprah Winfrey's book club is known for having exquisite reading picks, and the book she's chosen so far in 2025 are no different. We've all been grappling with loss and despair in some format, and the media mogul's aware of that. While it's not a total fix, Oprah's choice to include a self-improvementand fiction on her list can help us get more in tune with ourselves during times like this.

P.S. Oprah's book club doesn't follow a monthly timeline, making her picks feel even more intentional!

A New Earth: Awakening to Your Life's Purpose by Eckhart Tolle

Eckhart Tolle is expounding on his teachings in The Power of Now to help us finally stop making "ego-based" decisions. He feels it's time for us to live a life that's not governed by flighty definitions of happiness while also sharing ways we don't have to experience as much as mental or emotional pain.

In a world that feels more divided than ever over every little thing, we think it's a great read for those who are anxious to see a change. As this book proves, the work starts within ourselves.
