Sullivan’s Crossing is making a behind-the-scenes leadership change ahead of its planned Season 5. Multiple outlets report that series creator Roma Roth steps down from her head writer/showrunner role. She is succeeded by Canadian writer-producer Floyd Kane (known for Diggstown), who is set to take over day-to-day leadership as head writer.
Deadline also reports that Roth remains involved with the series as an executive producer. The change comes as the series continues its path toward production, with the CW renewal still pending at the time of reporting. The coverage characterizes the transition as a showrunner update rather than an indication of cancellation, noting that the show’s existing renewal status and future production planning depend on the remaining network renewal process.
Across the reports, there is agreement on the central facts: Roth exits the day-to-day showrunning position, Kane is brought in to lead the writers’ room for Season 5, and Roth continues in an executive producer capacity as the series advances toward its next season.
