Netflix Renews Virgin River, Adds Sullivan’s Crossing

Netflix has officially renewed its hit romantic drama 'Virgin River' for an eighth season ahead of the Season 7 release, cementing its place among the platform's longest-running originals. The network has also added 'Sullivan’s Crossing,' another romantic drama based on Robyn Carr’s novels, which has quickly risen in popularity as a top U.S. series and is seen as a companion or successor to 'Virgin River.' Starring Morgan Kohan and Chad Michael Murray, 'Sullivan’s Crossing' follows a neurosurgeon returning to her rural hometown, mirroring the small-town romance of 'Virgin River.' Netflix continues to expand its lineup with the addition of the period drama '1923,' featuring Helen Mirren and Harrison Ford, and the romantic comedy miniseries 'Too Much.' These acquisitions highlight Netflix’s commitment to offering a variety of new and familiar options in drama and romance. The platform's strategy underscores its focus on character-driven stories that appeal to a wide audience.
