Squid Recreation’s third and ultimate season dropped in June amid the 2025 TV schedule and additional cemented the South Korean drama as the most effective reveals on Netflix. The sequence, broke data all through its three-season run. And, regardless of Squid‘s ending being considerably polarizing, the present nonetheless managed to succeed in the No. 1 spot on Netflix. Nevertheless, Canadian romance drama Sullivan’s Crossing surpassed it to nab that crown. Now, Sullivan’s star Morgan Kohan is weighing in on that growth.
For context, the primary two seasons of Sullivan’s Crossing — which relies on the novel sequence of the identical title by Virgin River creator Robyn Carr — are at the moment streamable with a Netflix subscription. The drama, which additionally stars Chad Michael Murray, Tom Jackson, Andrea Menard, and Scott Patterson, premiered on CTV in Canada in early 2023 and arrived within the US later that 12 months on The CW.
Whereas the sequence is three seasons in, plainly lots of viewers are only in the near past discovering it by way of streaming. Morgan Kohan, who performs neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan, appeared happy when talking to The Globe and Mail about what it’s been like seeing Sullivan’s attain the High 3 on Netflix and even knock one of many streamer’s largest originals out of the highest trending spot:
We knew we had one thing particular, particularly because it did so properly even out of its first season on CTV from the start.
Contemplating Squid Recreation’s ultimate season solely launched on June 27 and Sullivan’s Crossing hit Netflix on July 8, it’s spectacular that the latter was ready to take action properly and develop into the No. 3 most-viewed present on Netflix between July 7 and July 13, earlier than hitting the No. 1 spot. Even with the present overtaking Squid, Kohan doesn’t appear so stunned, given how particular she thinks the romance present is and the way properly it does up north. Kohan spoke to the viewers the present already had and what it has been wish to see it broaden in such a approach:
We’ve had such an exquisite viewers, however then to see it blow up so rapidly with a complete different viewers – I believe we had been all hopeful, nevertheless it positively has been very thrilling.
Audiences appear to be tuning in for the drama and romance of Sullivan’s Crossing, however the present is now not No. 1 on Netflix. It’s nonetheless within the High 10, nonetheless, and at the moment sitting at No. 5, as of this writing. In the meantime, Squid Recreation is at No. 6, which is actually nonetheless spectacular.
Those that’ve loved streaming the primary two seasons of Sullivan’s are additionally in luck. Season 3, which completed its run on The CW final week, will probably be heading to the streamer in August, in line with Tudum. However each episode of Season 3 can also be streaming without cost on The CW app proper now. Season 2 of the present ends on a significant cliffhanger, so I would not be stunned if viewers ultimately hopped again on to Netflix to stream the third season when it turns into accessible.
It is actually spectacular that Sullivan’s Crossing was capable of overtake Squid Recreation throughout the streaming realm. As a fan, I additionally have the benefit of figuring out that extra persons are testing the sequence. Morgan Kohan and co. ought to actually be happy with what they’ve on their palms. On that notice, Season 4 will hit The CW someday in 2026, so followers could have loads of time to binge-watch the primary three seasons earlier than the brand new episodes arrive.
