This Canadian series hooked fans back in March when it first premiered on CTV, but it's finally making its way stateside to The CW come Oct. 4. With the Writers Guild of America strike bringing the entertainment industry to a halt, news of a new series is a welcome announcement — especially when it's one with some very recognizable names and faces.

Sullivan's Crossing follows the story of Maggie Sullivan, a big-time Boston neurosurgeon who gets caught up in a scandal that forces her to leave her professional and personal life behind and return home to a remote campground that's run by her estranged father. Based on the novel series by Robyn Carr (who also penned the books behind our other favorite small-town drama, Virgin River), the show has everything you could ask for: fresh starts, family rifts and mysteriously handsome newcomers.

"Sullivan's Crossing is an emotionally rich, authentic family drama that will immediately resonate with audiences thanks to an incredible cast and relatable themes of self-reflection, second chances and the power of community," Brad Schwartz, The CW's entertainment president, told Deadline back in April.

So who are these incredible cast members who will bring this story to life? Here's your guide to the people you'll be meeting in Sullivan's Crossing.
