HEARTLAND star Shaun Johnson recently talked about his character, Willis Hamilton, from Great American Family’s CROSSROAD SPRINGS.
“Willis is, you know, the patriarch of the family, runs the Red Oak Ranch,” Johnson revealed in a recent teaser for Season 2. “We get a glimpse of Willis being a little more willing to feel compassion in his life and a little bit more willing to express it.”
He hinted that Season 2 contains “comfort” and “surprises” for viewers.
GAF president Bill Abbot said CROSSROAD SPRINGS is designed to inspire with heartfelt characters and relatable themes.
The show is about the Hamilton family, who have to work together to keep their country ranch in operation. Two adult siblings pause their careers to return to the ranch and help out.

Brittany Underwood, who plays Maggie Johnson in the series, attended 2026’s Movieguide® awards. She enjoys acting in CROSSROAD SPRINGS because it is “faith and family-friendly, and everyone can sit down and watch it…We’re excited to do that type of content,” she said.
Abbot said, “Original Series are an essential part of the strategy because they give viewers the opportunity to return to beloved characters and communities, deepen their emotional connection to our stories, and engage with our platforms in more meaningful ways. The success of our series, including CROSSROAD SPRINGS, affirms the strength of this approach and represents our continued investment in premium faith and family entertainment that is foundational to Great American Media’s growth and to one of the most valuable libraries in the industry.”
Season 2 will stream on Sept. 3 on Great American Pure Flix and on Sept. 5 on Great American Family and GFam+.
