Based on the Virgin River novels by Robyn Carr, the series first premiered in 2019.
The TV adaption follows Melinda "Mel" Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) — a nurse practitioner who is seeking a fresh start and moves from Los Angeles to a remote Northern California town called Virgin River.

Back in December, Breckenridge opened up to HuffPost about how she had previously avoided projects like Virgin River. Noting to the outlet that she chose "edgier" roles at the start of her career, Breckenridge said that all changed when she became a mother in 2016.
"Sometimes you don't want to watch something that's gonna really take you down some kind of analytical path," she said. "Sometimes you really want something that's just basic and cozy — a beautiful small town where people fall in love."
Breckenridge added: "Emotions are heightened right now and this show provides the perfect sort of soft landing and entertainment for people dealing with loss or going through what they're going through [with the coronavirus pandemic]."
