NEW YORK, NY – June 3, 2025 – Great American Media continues to build on the success of its Original series lineup with the premiere of “Crossroad Springs,” a moving new drama debuting on Pure Flix, Thursday, August 28, and on Great American Family, Sunday, August 31, as part of the flagship network’s “Faith & Family Sundays” program event. “Crossroad Springs,” starring Jonathan Stoddard (A Royal Christmas Ballet), Emily Alatalo (Christmas In Maple Hills), Shaun Johnston (“Heartland”), Kate Drummond (“Heartland”), Brittany Underwood (A Royal Christmas Ballet), Jesse Hutch (A Little Women’s Christmas), Jon McLaren (“When Hope Calls”), Erin Agostino (The Jingle Bell Jubilee), and Franco Lo Presti (“Bad Blood”), bring audiences stories rooted in faith, family, and the strength found in unity.
Built around the simple but powerful idea that the end of one road can lead to something greater, Crossroad Springs follows a family at a pivotal turning point and a town becoming a symbol of resilience, purpose, and hope.
“We are very proud to introduce our audience to this new series,” said Bill Abbott, President & CEO, Great American Media. “Like our other Original series, ‘Crossroad Springs’ furthers our mission to create meaningful content anchored in timeless values. With compelling storytelling, heartfelt performances, and themes that encourage and inspire, ‘Crossroad Springs’ continues the Great American Media tradition of wholesome entertainment for the entire family,” Abbott concluded.
“Crossroad Springs” follows the Hamilton family, adult siblings James (Stoddard) and Janet (Alatalo), their aging family members, dad, Willis (Johnston), and Aunt Amy (Drummond), who are eking out a living on Hamilton Ranch with financial hardships and staffing shortages. James, a pastor in Chicago, and Janet, an ER doctor in a neighboring town, feel called to return home to help the family. Once there, the siblings encounter the son of the owner of the neighboring farm, Daniel Newman (Hutch), who are all wary of each other due to a generational feud between the families. As he settles into his new day-to-day life on the farm, James begins to realize there are no places to worship on the thousands of acres of farms. There, in the environment of come-as-you-are vibes, barns, rodeo arenas, even outdoors under clear night skies, James starts a cowboy church right there in the place where faith, family, and ranch life go hand in hand.
“Crossroad Springs” is produced by Nicely and Brainpower. Produced by Jessica Reis. Marco Deufemia and Paula Tiberius direct from an original teleplay by Paula Tiberius. For more information, go to www.greatamericanfamily.com and www.greatamericanpureflix.com
