Kandyse McClure, who plays Kaia Bryant in the beloved Netflix series Virgin River, has shared some intriguing hints about the upcoming season, particularly regarding the wedding of Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). As fans eagerly await the return of the charming small-town drama this December, McClure suggests that the couple’s journey to wedded bliss may be far from smooth.
Set to premiere on December 19, Season 6 will follow the events after a dramatic fifth season and two suspenseful Christmas specials. McClure described the upcoming nuptials as “beautiful” but warned that, as with any Virgin River storyline, there may be unexpected disruptions. “The plan is beautiful. It’s a beautiful idea. But… we’ll see,” she teased, leaving fans guessing about what might go awry on their big day.
The new season will also include Mel’s bachelorette party, which is featured in the recent trailer. McClure confirmed that Kaia will be part of the festivities and hinted at some wild moments with Jack’s sister Brie (Zibby Allen) and Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale). “You see us on stage, we’re singing together. Let’s just say it was a wild day and night,” she said, clearly excited about the fun ahead.
Reflecting on her time on set, McClure mentioned filming at a bar she knows well from her own experiences in Vancouver, adding a personal touch to the scenes. “I was like, ‘I’ve had a few nights in this bar that I can probably call on right now,’” she quipped.
McClure also hinted at significant character developments in Season 6, suggesting that viewers will see different sides of familiar characters. “There are some really powerful performances coming up this season,” she noted, emphasizing the depth that will unfold.
As for Kaia’s relationship with Preacher (Colin Lawrence), McClure tactfully avoided spoilers but promised high emotional drama, urging fans to tune in to see if Kaia reciprocates Preacher’s feelings after his unexpected confession of love.
With wedding chaos and evolving relationships on the horizon, Virgin River Season 6 is set to deliver the twists and turns fans have come to love.
