VIRGIN River Renewal Ahead of Season 6 Premiere

Netflix has pulled the trigger on the Virgin River renewal for Season 7, ahead of its Season 6 premiere date.

The romantic drama is an adaptation of Robyn Carr’s romance series of the same name. The first season proved a massive hit for the streamer, and the show has been on the rise since then. This is likely a major reason why another of Carr’s novels, Sullivan’s Crossing, was adapted more recently.

Virgin River follows Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse and midwife who moves to a small California town from Los Angeles after her husband Mark dies. There, she falls for restaurant/bar owner and former marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), and after many complications, the pair get married in season 6.

The show is currently the longest-running drama series from Netflix.

Cast

The show stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, and Tim Matheson. Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanime, Lauren Hammersley, Kai Bradbury and Kandyse McClure also appear.

Patrick Sean Smith serves as showrunner on the series. He had this to say about the upcoming season:

“I can’t imagine creating a scenario where you think Mel and Jack are going to break up. It forces you to dig a little bit deeper into, well, what other issues can they have in their relationship? Especially when you want to keep it through the romance lens. I think Alex and Martin play all of those [moments so well], it’s just resting on emotional stakes as opposed to will they, won’t they.”

Season 6 of the show will premiere on 19 December 2024. Are you happy about the Virgin River renewal
