Sullivan's Crossing Filming Locations in Nova Scotia

Planning a Sullivan's Crossing Film Tour

Where is Sullivan's Crossing filmed? Sullivan's Crossing is filmed in and around Halifax, Nova Scotia. The four primary filming locations are Shubie Park in Dartmouth (the campground and woodland scenes), a purpose-built set at 1901 Beaver Bank Road in Beaver Bank (the Sullivan's Crossing campground buildings, on private land with no public access), Agricola Street in Halifax's North End (the 'main street' and Boston flashbacks), and Fisherman's Cove in Eastern Passage (coastal and waterfront scenes). Aerial B-roll also features Lawrencetown Beach on the Eastern Shore and Peggy's Cove on the South Shore. Production has been based in Nova Scotia since filming began in June 2022.

What network is Sullivan's Crossing on? Sullivan's Crossing is a Canadian romantic drama that premiered on CTV on March 19, 2023, where it is now in its fourth season (with a fifth renewed in June 2026). In the United States, the series airs on The CW (which joined as co-producer starting with Season 2). Globally, all seasons are available on Netflix - Season 1 was the third most-watched show on Netflix worldwide and the most-watched in the US upon release, and Season 4 was the sixth most-watched English-language series globally. It is not a CBC production.

Is Sullivan's Crossing based on a book? Yes. Sullivan's Crossing is based on the novel series of the same name by Robyn Carr - the same author behind Virgin River, which was also adapted into a hit Netflix series. The show was created for television by Roma Roth. The books follow neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, who returns to her father's campground in rural Nova Scotia after legal trouble in Boston.

Who stars in Sullivan's Crossing? The main cast of Sullivan's Crossing is led by Morgan Kohan as Maggie Sullivan (a neurosurgeon), Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones (Sully's campground assistant), and Scott Patterson as Harry 'Sully' Sullivan (Maggie's estranged father, Seasons 1-3). The ensemble also includes Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear and Andrea Menard as Edna Cranebear. Notable recurring cast members include Lynda Boyd, Allan Hawco, Peter Outerbridge, and Lauren Hammersley. The show is not associated with Morgan Freeman.

Where is Sullivan's Crossing supposed to be set? In the show, Sullivan's Crossing is set in the fictional small town of Timberlake, Nova Scotia - a rural community on a river and lake system where Maggie's father Sully runs a campground. Unlike many TV adaptations that relocate their settings, the show keeps the Nova Scotia setting of Robyn Carr's source novels and films in the real Nova Scotia locations. The fictional Timberlake is portrayed primarily by Shubie Park in Dartmouth and the purpose-built Beaver Bank set.

Can you visit the Sullivan's Crossing set? The main Sullivan's Crossing campground set at 1901 Beaver Bank Road in Beaver Bank is private property, actively used by the production, and closed to the public - you cannot tour or visit it. However, you can visit all four primary public filming locations: walk Agricola Street in Halifax's North End (the 'main street'), explore the woodland trails of Shubie Park in Dartmouth, wander Fisherman's Cove in Eastern Passage, and drive out to the B-roll coastal spots like Lawrencetown Beach and Peggy's Cove. All public locations are free to visit.

When does Sullivan's Crossing Season 5 come out? Sullivan's Crossing was renewed for a fifth season by CTV in June 2026 and by The CW in July 2026. Season 5 is filming in Nova Scotia from July 2026 onward, with new showrunner Floyd Kane taking over from creator Roma Roth (who remains an executive producer). Based on previous seasons - Season 4 premiered March 22, 2026 on CTV and April 20, 2026 on The CW - Season 5 will likely premiere in spring 2027 on CTV and The CW, with global streaming on Netflix to follow.

What other TV shows are filmed in Nova Scotia? Nova Scotia has a long history as a film and television production hub. The most famous current production is The Curse of Oak Island (History Channel, 2014-present), filmed entirely on Oak Island in Mahone Bay. Other notable Nova Scotia-filmed series include Trailer Park Boys (2001-2018, shot in Dartmouth/Bedford), Mr. D (CBC, 2012-2018, Halifax), Diggstown (CBC, 2019-2022, Halifax), and the long-running satirical news show This Hour Has 22 Minutes (CBC, 1993-present, Halifax). The province's varied coastline, historic towns, and competitive production incentives make it a regular stand-in for everywhere from coastal Maine to small-town New England.

How do I get to Shubie Park from downtown Halifax? Shubie Park is in Dartmouth, across the harbour from downtown Halifax. The easiest route is to take the Halifax-Dartmouth ferry (13 minutes, leaves every 15-30 minutes from the Halifax Ferry Terminal) to the Alderney ferry terminal in Dartmouth, then walk about 20 minutes north along the waterfront and up to the park. By car it is roughly 20 minutes from downtown Halifax via the Macdonald Bridge. The park is free to enter and open dawn to dusk year-round.

Is Sullivan's Crossing on Netflix? Yes. Netflix licensed Sullivan's Crossing in Canada in April 2025 and in the United States in July 2025. All four current seasons are available to stream on Netflix in those markets, in addition to their original broadcasts on CTV (Canada) and The CW (US). The show has been a major streaming hit - Season 4 was the third most-watched show on Netflix in the US and the sixth most-watched English-language series globally upon its release.
