Great news for Virgin River fans! Ahead of the Season 6 premiere, Netflix has officially greenlit a Season 7. This means that no matter what twists and turns the upcoming 10 episodes bring, there’s plenty more to come from the beloved small-town drama.
While specific plot details for Season 6 are still under wraps—because who wants spoilers?—there’s a wealth of storylines to draw from, thanks to Robyn Carr’s bestselling book series, which boasts over 20 titles. This gives Virgin River ample material to continue captivating audiences for many more seasons.
Since its debut, viewers have followed Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) as she navigates life in the picturesque, yet drama-filled, town of Virgin River. Seeking a fresh start, Melinda arrives in the idyllic California landscape only to discover that small-town life comes with its own set of challenges.
The upcoming season promises a much-anticipated wedding, as Melinda and Jack (Martin Henderson) prepare for a colorful spring ceremony. Naturally, in true Virgin River fashion, expect plenty of drama surrounding the nuptials and the lives of other townsfolk. Additionally, the season will explore secrets from Melinda’s father’s past, taking viewers back to the 1970s for a fresh perspective on the town.
Who’s Returning for Season 6?
Alongside Breckenridge and Henderson, Season 6 will feature a talented cast including Tim Matheson (The West Wing), Annette O’Toole (Cat People), Colin Lawrence (Napa Ever After), Benjamin Hollingsworth (A Whitewater Romance), Zibby Allen (A Stranger’s Child), Sarah Dugdale (The Bad Seed), Marco Grazzini (Right in Front of Me), Kai Bradbury (Supernatural), Kandyse McClure (Children of the Corn), and Mark Ghanime (To All a Good Night).
The series has garnered impressive viewership stats, landing on Netflix’s Global Top 10 TV (English) list a remarkable 25 times over its five-season run. Last year, Season 5 appeared on the coveted Top 10 list in 77 countries, reflecting its dedicated fanbase.
With such a passionate following, it’s no surprise that Netflix has already committed to a seventh season before Season 6 even airs on December 19.
