Part one of Virgin River Season 5 has just landed on Netflix, and many fans are already wondering about the status of Season 6. The remaining two holiday-themed episodes of Season 5 will premiere on November 30, just in time for cozy winter viewing. If you’ve binge-watched all 10 episodes already, you know the season ends with several massive cliffhangers that will likely be addressed in the upcoming episodes or in Season 6.
Based on the novels of the same name, which include a total of 24 books, there’s plenty of material to keep the show running for multiple seasons and offer insights into potential plotlines for Season 6.
Is There Going to Be a Virgin River Season 6?
Yes! Netflix announced on May 17 that Virgin River has been renewed for a sixth season, which will stream on the platform. Historically, the series has followed an annual release schedule, though Season 5 took a bit longer to arrive. However, with the ongoing SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes impacting writers and actors, it’s likely that Season 6 will experience significant delays, similar to many other shows and films.
The strikes also prevent actors from promoting the series as they normally would. Alexandra Breckenridge, who portrays Mel, mentioned on her Instagram story that she is “not allowed to do any promotion for the thing that [she] would normally be promoting at this time,” as reported by Bustle.
While there’s no confirmed release date for Season 6, we can speculate that it may drop sometime in late 2024 or even in 2025. Until then, all five existing seasons are available to stream on Netflix, and if you can’t wait, you can dive into the entire collection of Virgin River novels available on Amazon.
