Will there be a Season 6 of Virgin River?

Great news, Virgin River fans – Netflix has renewed the series for Season 6, meaning there’s still plenty more from Mel and Jack to come. 

Netflix's Tudum announced that while there are still two upcoming episodes of Virgin River scheduled to be released in 2023, the anticipation for what will unfold for Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack (Martin Henderson), and the rest of the crew after the Season 5 Christmas-themed episodes on November 30 has already begun. Fortunately, fans can rejoice in knowing that the show has been renewed for a sixth season.

Is there a Virgin River Season 6 release date?

Since there are still two more episodes to drop and production on Season 6 is yet to start, there’s no release date at the time of writing. 

Despite the usual ability to predict the release of new show episodes, the continued strikes by writers and actors have caused indefinite production delays until a resolution is reached. Nevertheless, the verified Instagram account of the show has reassured fans that Virgin River Season 6 is currently in progress.

We’ll be sure to keep you updated as and when new information comes in. 

Virgin River Season 6 cast: Who’d be in it?

Alexandra Breckenridge will reprise her role as Mel Monroe, while Martin Henderson will return as Jack Sheridan.

Our two primary actors have only positive remarks about collaborating with each other. Henderson, speaking to Brief Take prior to the SAG-AFTRA strike, expressed admiration for Breckenridge, stating, "She's incredibly cool, which greatly facilitates our working dynamic." Additionally, he acknowledged the significance of their relationship in the show, emphasizing how fortunate it is that she possesses the qualities necessary to make those scenes effortless.

Virgin River Season 6 plot: What would it be about?

Official plot details for Virgin River Season 6 have not been revealed yet, as the ending of Season 5 is still unknown. However, there are several storylines to explore and over 20 books available as a source of inspiration.

It's uncertain where the narrative will lead, considering that there are still two more holiday special episodes left in Season 5. However, it is possible that we will witness the journey of Mel and Jack as they purchase the land where Lilly's farm once stood. Additionally, they may also explore the path of adoption or choose to continue their lives as a couple.

Discussing the couple's miscarriage during Season 5, Breckenridge revealed to Tudum in 2022 that she believed it was crucial to portray this story. Not everyone has the fortune of having a miracle baby, and by addressing this topic honestly, it could resonate with women who have faced similar infertility struggles.

However, personally, it was a challenging experience for Breckenridge. The emotional toll was intense, resulting in numerous crying scenes. Despite the sadness surrounding the storyline, she believes that Mel ultimately emerges from this difficult journey in a more positive light.

Elsewhere, the first half of Season 5 came to a shocking conclusion when Lizzie dropped a bombshell on Denny, revealing that she may be expecting a baby. This unexpected news couldn't have come at a more awkward time for the couple, leaving viewers eager to see how this unexpected development will unfold in Season 6.

Brie and Mike's new relationship, along with Cameron and Muriel, take a backseat to the intense drama unfolding in Virgin River. From drug cartels to wildfires, the residents are caught up in a whirlwind of events. A startling discovery during the wildfires reveals a body, suspected to be Paige's abusive ex-husband Wes. This revelation leaves the community questioning the implications, particularly for Preacher, who had a hand in concealing the evidence. As Season 5 Part 2 concludes, it seems likely that this storyline will carry over into Season 6, leaving us eager to learn more.

Is there a Virgin River Season 6 trailer?
