Virgin River Season 6 wrapped filming in June, but what does that mean for our chances to see the season before the show ends? And how many episodes can we expect to see in Season 6?
Well, there’s no Christmas special upcoming, but that’s not the only reason we shouldn’t expect Virgin River to come back in time for the holidays. In fact, we should probably be thinking more along the lines of early 2025. Netflix could still surprise us, but Virgin River hasn’t been included in any list of 2024 releases for the streamer, so early 2025 seems more likely right now. That timing pretty much lines up with what the release windows has been for the other seasons, after all.
When the show does return, it will do so with fewer episodes than the show gave us in Season 5. That’s right, Season 6 is set to only have 10 episodes.
The news was confirmed by writer Ildiko Susany during an interview with The Writers Perspective.
That and a chance for them to, you know, be happy. There’s been too much drama in their lives. Let them smile. Give us some domesticity. And let some of the other couples around them get a chance at some actual joy, too. We don’t want to just see couples get together, we want to enjoy the romance after the fact too. That’s the beauty of multiple seasons of a romance! Domestic bliss. Please be giving us some of that. Oh, and that answer to the cliffhanger about Mel’s dad, please. We need that too.
