Sullivan's Crossing Season 4: Release date rumors, cast updates and plot – Everything we know so far
Fans of Sullivan's Crossing can't stop buzzing about the cozy Canadian drama that's taken Netflix by storm. After a jaw-dropping Season 3 finale, everyone's eager to know what's next for Maggie, Cal, and the rest of the Timberlake crew. Here's the latest scoop on Season 4, packed with release date speculation, cast updates, and plot predictions to keep the excitement alive. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Release Date Nobody's dropped an official release date for Season 4 yet, but there's enough tea to spill based on how the show's been rolling out. Sullivan's Crossing has a pretty steady groove. Season 1 kicked off on CTV in March 2023, then hit The CW in October 2023. Season 2 showed up on CTV in April 2024, followed by The CW in October 2024. Season 3 kept the pattern, landing on CTV in April 2025 and The CW in May 2025. If the trend holds, Season 4 should pop up on CTV around April or May 2026, with The CW airing it a bit later, maybe June 2026. Word on the street—or rather, posts on X—says filming started in Halifax, Nova Scotia, in August 2025 and should wrap by November. That keeps things on track for a 2026 premiere. Netflix fans, you'll probably get Season 4 around August 2026, a few months after The CW run, since Season 3 dropped on Netflix in August 2025. Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Expected Cast The Sullivan's Crossing crew feels like family at this point, and most of the faves should be back for Season 4. Here's the rundown on who's likely strolling through Timberlake: Morgan Kohan as Maggie Sullivan Chad Michael Murray as Cal Jones Scott Patterson as Sully Sullivan Andrea Menard as Edna Cranebear Tom Jackson as Frank Cranebear Lindura as Sydney Shandon Reid Price as Rob Shandon Dakota Taylor as Rafe Vadas Amalia Williamson as Lola Gunderson Cindy Sampson as Jane Kate Vernon as Helen Culver Marcus Rosner as Liam Davies Sullivan's Crossing Season 4 Potential Plot That Season 3 finale on June 22, 2025, had jaws on the floor. Liam Davies rolling into town, calling himself Maggie's husband? Total plot twist! Season 4's gotta unpack that mess and more. Here's what's probably cooking based on the finale and the show's knack for romance and heart: Maggie and Cal: Love on the Rocks? Maggie and Cal were finally getting their groove on in Season 3, with Maggie settling into Timberlake and planning her own clinic. Then Liam drops the 'husband' bomb. Is it legit, or is there some wild backstory? Season 4's bound to dig into Maggie's past, maybe flashing back to what went down with Liam. This could put her and Cal's romance through the wringer. Fans on X are already freaking out about whether these two can survive another hurdle. Their chemistry's too good to fizzle, but it's gonna be a bumpy ride. Sully's Big Adventure Sully shocked everybody by deciding to head to Ireland with Helen. Season 4 might follow him across the pond, showing how he's handling this new chapter. Will he come back to the campground, or is Maggie taking over for good? His journey's gonna tug at the heartstrings, especially after all he's been through with Maggie. Edna and Frank's Healing Vibes Edna's brain surgery was a nail-biter, and Maggie pulled it off like a champ. Now, Edna and Frank's story will probably focus on soaking up life and leaning on each other. Their scenes always bring the warm fuzzies, balancing out the heavier drama. More Timberlake Drama The rest of the crew's got plenty going on. Sydney and Rafe's relationship is a hot mess—will they make it to the altar, or crash and burn? Lola and Jacob's flirty vibes could turn into something more. Rob and Jane might be headed for wedding bells, too. The campground itself could face trouble, maybe money issues or some shady new character stirring the pot. And Maggie's clinic? That's a whole new adventure, mixing her doctor skills with small-town life. Ahmedabad Plane Crash

Ryan Reynolds Will Appear as Deadpool in Avengers: Doomsday
Ryan Reynolds is set to reprise his role as Deadpool for the next Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) team-up movie, Avengers: Doomsday. Details on Reynolds' highly anticipated involvement in the next Avengers movie come from The Hollywood Reporter. It's one of the many Deadpool crossovers Marvel fans have waited decades to see come to fruition, though the site's sources say fans shouldn't expect him to actually join the Avengers team quite yet. Fans have wondered if the Merc with a Mouth would show up for Avengers: Doomsday since Marvel debuted its chair-focused cast announcement video earlier this year. Speculation that Deadpool could show up then caught fire when Reynolds teased his return just a few days ago. It's not much of a surprise to see Reynolds continue his run as Deadpool for Avengers: Doomsday. His portrayal of the potty-mouthed anti-hero made an official jump to the MCU with 2024's Deadpool & Wolverine. That's thanks to some multiverse shenanigans that saw him slicing through alternate universes with Hugh Jackman's Wolverine. Deadpool spent much of the buddy comedy hoping to one day join the Avengers team. Even if he won't become an official Avenger, it seems like he may get a chance to meet Chris Hemsworth's Thor, Pedro Pascal's Mister Fantastic, or even Robert Downey Jr.'s Doctor Doom when Avengers: Doomsday comes to theaters December 18, 2026. If we're lucky, we'll also finally find out why a glimpse into another reality showed Thor crying over Deadpool on a battlefield. Other stars in Avengers: Doomsday's already stacked cast include Anthony Mackie as Captain America, Florence Pugh as Yelena Belova, Paul Rudd as Ant-Man, and many, many more. There's also Channing Tatum's Gambit, who made a splash when he finally made his big-screen debut in Deadpool & Studios has shared a lot about its next big-budget Avengers film, but it's clear there are so many surprises left to be revealed. Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness star Xochitl Gomez is one name heavily rumored to make an appearance, though her inclusion hasn't been officially confirmed quite yet. We've also yet to learn how The Fantastic Four might find their way to the MCU universe fans have grown to know and love over the last 17 years. While we wait to find out more about how Deadpool will meet the Avengers, you can read up on every other Marvel project in the works. The next MCU movie on the schedule will see Tom Holland return for Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which is set to swing into theaters July 31, 2026. Michael Cripe is a freelance writer with IGN.

Tristan Rogers, who played Robert Scorpio on 'General Hospital,' dies at 79: Reports
Rogers' longtime manager, Meryl Soodak, told multiple news media outlets that Rogers died from lung cancer. The actor shared his diagnosis with the public in July. Tristan Rogers, best known for his longtime role as Robert Scorpio on "General Hospital," has died, according to multiple media reports. He was 79. Rogers died from lung cancer, his longtime manager Meryl Soodak told ABC7 and The Hollywood Reporter. USA TODAY has reached out to Soodak. The news comes a month after the soap star shared with fans in a July 17 news release that he had been diagnosed with cancer. "While he remains hopeful and is working closely with his medical team on a treatment plan, this is a challenging time for Tristan and his family," the statement read. "As they face both the emotional and physical burdens that come with this diagnosis, the family kindly asks for privacy and understanding." The release said that Rogers "sends love to his fans" and that their support "means more to him now than ever." Rogers is survived by his wife of 30 years, Teresa Parkerson, and their two adult children, daughter Sara and son Cale. Rogers' path to becoming a daytime staple Rogers, who was born in Melbourne, Australia, cut his teeth as a soap actor in the 1970s with roles on the Australian TV series "Number 96," "The Box" and "Bellbird." The budding actor traded the Down Under for the fictional town of Port Charles, New York, when he joined the cast of "General Hospital" in December 1980, playing super spy Scorpio. Rogers went on to enjoy a 12-year stint on the long-running drama before departing the series in 1992. He was nominated for two Soap Opera Digest Awards during his initial "GH" tenure, including a 1986 nod for outstanding daytime actor in a leading role. After a nearly 15-year hiatus, Rogers returned to the show in 2006 for a series of recurring appearances, followed by additional guest performances in 2008, 2012-2016 and 2018-2024. In total, the fan-favorite actor has appeared on over 1,400 episodes of "General Hospital," according to Rogers' IMDb page. Rogers also appeared on several episodes of the "General Hospital" spinoff "General Hospital: Night Shift" in 2008.
