Why is there a delay between CTV and Netflix?

Earlier this year, CTV aired Sullivan's Crossing season 3. Netflix, on the other hand, is releasing it over two months later. There is a gap because Canadian networks, American cable (via The CW), and worldwide streaming services like Netflix have different license arrangements and staggered releases.

This happens frequently with series that are popular in more than one country, especially Canadian ones that get more popular after they air.

The CW has also shown all three seasons. Fans who want to view season 3 before it comes out on Netflix may do so there. US viewers will be able to watch all of the episodes on demand for the first time on August 11, 2025.

Is season 4 of Sullivan's Crossing confirmed?

Yes, Netflix had already secured the show's future even before Sullivan's Crossing season 3 arrived. CTV announced in June 2025 that it had acquired the show for a fourth season. The production for season 4 will begin on August 7, 2025, in Halifax, Nova Scotia. It is projected to end by November 25, 2025.

There is no official release date for season 4 yet, but the show is scheduled to come back in the spring of 2026. If Netflix continues its current release strategy, US viewers might be able to watch season 4 on the platform by the summer of 2026.
