At the end of summer and in anticipation of autumn, one thinks about peace. Scented candles, pumpkin spice lattes, and the cherished series Virgin River have returned to the stage. It’s been almost nine months since the last visit by its fans. Though a few months away from Season 6, we know what to expect when we finally meet up with Mel, Jack, and company again.

The season finale brought a lot of unexpected twists for fans. Mel meets her father whom she has not had anything to do with before. Charmaine also gave birth to her twins finally. Doc took up an experimental trial that was aimed at saving his sight. Jack surprised her with a puppy he named Pony. 

Brie and Brady almost kissed under the mistletoe because they were exes who were still in love with each other’s lives in their hearts. Lizzie and Denny announced that they were expecting a baby girl as well and the Preacher got news that Wes’ body was going to be found soon enough. Cameron’s ex appearing again put his future with Muriel at stake though.

As of now, Netflix has not announced the release date for the sixth season. Therefore, filming is expected to start in spring, so late 2024 or early 2025 might be too far away. Though there will be waiting involved, we can anticipate seeing most of the main cast again.

For instance, Alexandra Breckenridge is Mel while Martin Henderson plays Jack and Colin Lawrence is Preacher. Also likely to return are major figures like Hope, Doc, Brady, and Lizzie Brie among others. In addition to that Charmaine and Joey Muriel are characters that have been around for a while.

Season 6 will consist of about 10 episodes in line with the first three seasons’ format. This show has tried longer seasons before but it seems like they are going for a short version this time round. There is no trailer yet unfortunately but fans await any leaks from Netflix itself leading up to its premiere.

Mel’s distant father had a great secret for her in the Christmas episode. Fans are now wondering whether he may be gravely ill or if there might exist some half-siblings of Mel. All the same, this is going to affect Mel deep inside. Fans are holding their breaths for that surprise.

Additionally, Netflix is working on a prequel to Virgin River. This series will depict the love affair between Mel’s mother and father when they first met in Virgin River. The sixth season may have glimpses of these characters as kids right before starting its spin-off.


At this time Virgin River has not yet been confirmed for Season 7 but given its popularity, it may stay on screen for several years. In this heartwarming small-town drama more trouble, romance, and revelations lie ahead according to its enthusiastic audience base.
