Everybody I Know Is Talking About the New #1 Show on Netflix
We’re not ashamed to say that we’ve been waiting for Netflix to drop season two of Virgin River since news broke that the hit show was renewed in 2019. Yup, almost a year ago.
So, it’s not surprising that the series shot up to the number one most watched spot on the streaming service just days after it was released. (We guess everyone cured their turkey hangover with a large dose of Virgin River.)
The series has surpassed a variety of other popular shows this month including Trial 4, The Crown and The Queen’s Gambit, American Horror Story, Cocomelon and Dash & Lily. Keep reading for everything we know.
Season one of the hit show centers around Melinda “Mel” Monroe, who answers an ad to work as a nurse practitioner in the remote California town (Virgin River) to get a fresh start in life. Unfortunately for her, she quickly learns that her past secrets can only stay buried for so long.
As we expected, season two picked up right where the season finale left off: when Mel learned that Jack and Charmaine were expecting a child and packed her bags to leave forever. However, (spoiler alert) her escape didn’t last long and she returned to Doc’s clinic, realizing she must learn to come to terms with herself and her past before she can truly make this her home.
Luckily, our favorite stars have returned to reprise their roles, including Alexandra Breckenridge (Melinda), Colin Lawrence (John “Preacher” Middleton), Jenny Cooper (Joey Barnes), Lauren Hammersley (Charmaine Roberts), Annette O’Toole (Hope McCrea) and Tim Matheson (Vernon). Melinda Dahl also appears in the new season as Staci—Mel's sister-in-law.
Like season one, season two consists of ten 45-minute episodes with the first one titled, “New Beginnings.” Better get cracking.
