Crossroad Springs: Release Date, Cast, Plot, and Everything to Know About Great American Family’s New Drama
Great American Family continues to expand its slate of faith and family-based programming with the launch of a brand-new original series, Crossroad Springs. Starring Jonathan Stoddard, Emily Alatalo, and Shaun Johnston, the show blends themes of family, faith, and small-town struggles against the backdrop of ranch life.
The series joins other GAF originals such as When Hope Calls and County Rescue, reinforcing the network’s commitment to wholesome, family-friendly entertainment.
What Is Crossroad Springs About?
The drama centers on the Hamilton family, who are trying to keep their Hamilton Ranch afloat amid financial struggles and labor shortages.
- James Hamilton (Jonathan Stoddard), a pastor from Chicago, and Janet Hamilton (Emily Alatalo), an ER doctor, return home to support their father, Willis (Shaun Johnston), and their Aunt Amy (Kate Drummond).
- Once back, the siblings clash with their neighbors, particularly Daniel Newman (Jesse Hutch), the son of a rival rancher. The feud between the two families spans generations.
- As James adjusts to ranch life, he notices the lack of worship spaces in the area. This inspires him to start a cowboy church, holding services in barns, arenas, and under open skies—where faith, family, and community come together.
The show weaves heartfelt storytelling with moral themes, making it a strong fit for GAF’s audience.
