Virgin River could crossover with another Netflix hit as major star drops exciting hint

Virgin River might one day merge with another beloved small-town romance series, according to this leading actress.

Drawing from Robyn Carr's cherished bestselling novels, the Netflix sensation chronicles Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse practitioner relocating to a quaint town after experiencing tragedy.

There, she encounters bar proprietor and ex-Marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), with instant chemistry igniting between them.

The sweeping romantic drama has just concluded filming its seventh series, anticipated to arrive on Netflix later this year or potentially in early 2026.

Meanwhile, American audiences have been captivated by Sullivan's Crossing's newest series, which mirrors a comparable storyline and draws from another Carr book collection, reports the Mirror US.

Given this link, viewers have pondered whether these programmes might intersect, and it seems we finally have clarity.

Starring Morgan Kohan and Chad Michael Murray, this heartwarming romance unfolds in Nova Scotia, following Kohan's neurosurgeon Maggie as she reconnects with her father Harry, known as Sully (Scott Patterson), whilst developing feelings for former solicitor California 'Cal' Jones (Murray).

Speaking to TechRadar, Kohan revealed she'd absolutely welcome the opportunity to unite with Mel, Jack and Virgin River's ensemble should circumstances permit.

"That would be so fun, why not!" she declared when presented with the concept. Despite the geographical distance between the towns, there's no reason why Virgin River and Timberlake couldn't share the same fictional universe.

Interestingly, Sullivan's Crossing, which airs on CTV in Canada and The CW in the US, has also found immense popularity on Netflix as its streaming platform in America, just like Virgin River.

They even have a common link in producer Roma Roth, who not only executive produces Virgin River but is also the creator and showrunner of Sullivan's.

As the Canadian drama gains momentum and Mel and Jack's love story continues to captivate millions, speculation about a potential crossover episode is mounting.

Regardless, Kohan has teased that the upcoming fourth season of Sullivan's Crossing will be full of surprises, especially with the bombshell that Maggie is still legally wed to her old flame, Liam (Marcus Rosner).

"I hope they can [stay together]," she commented on Maggie's relationship with Cal.

"They've built such a beautiful foundation, and clearly this is a bit of a bombshell.

"I think it will take some trust to build them back up, and maybe a lot of explaining... but they are so good together."

With both shows' fanbases expanding annually, could Netflix surprise us all by intertwining the Robyn Carr universe on our screens?

Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix. Sullivan's Crossing airs on CTW and is on Netflix in the US.
