On the Netflix weekly charts,Sullivan’s Crossingopened up its new streaming branch with 3 million views and 22 million hours watched. That’s an impressive feat considering the only shows that managed to outperform it were two hit, newer original series —The SandmanSeason 2andThe Waterfront.

All the success the show has had across both The CW, where it ranks as a top-three show in viewership, and now Netflix made the renewal decision a no-brainer, according to the network’s president,Brad Schwartz.
Canada’s Bell Media co-produces the series with The CW. The writing was already on the wall that a stateside renewal was coming in part because Bell had already announced its decision back in May due to a difference in budgeting cycles.

There, she tries to reforge a relationship with her estranged father, Sully (Patterson), makes new friends, andnavigates a romancewithcharming local Cal Jones (Murray).Tom JacksonandAndrea Menardalso star in the series.
