See the New Behind-the-Scenes Photo From 'Virgin River' Season 6
Are you a Virgin River super-fan who's constantly checking up on the status of the show? Welcome to the club! There are a bunch of other people just like you—including Ree Drummond who can't get enough of the Netflix series. This isn't anything to be ashamed of, though. In fact, it's to be expected! When a show gives us plenty of romance and couples to root for, as well as cliffhangers upon cliffhangers, we're going to continue to want more. So, the fact that we know Virgin River season 6 is returning is enough to raise our spirits for the foreseeable future.
We already knew that Virgin River was confirmed for season 6. (You didn't think that they would leave us with those questions in season 5 part 2, did you?) But it wasn't until recently that we got word that the cast was finally on set filming for the upcoming season. And to top it off, news of a potential prequel series was also released! Our romantic, drama-loving hearts are filled to the brim with joy knowing that we're going to be able to dive right in. Eventually, that is.
Here's what you can expect with Virgin River season 6, including casting updates, premiere dates, and more.
When will Virgin River season 6 premiere?
While we don't know the exact date that Virgin River season 6 will premiere, according Deadline, we may have to wait until 2025!
This is primarily due to weather and filming schedules. Back in November of 2023, the actress who plays Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) spoke with Deadline, sharing some insight on the show's production process:
“We’re going to start as soon as the Vancouver weather allows. So hopefully in the spring is what I’ve been hearing,” Breckenridge said. “I keep trying to tell them they should just pick up season 7 so we can just knock seasons 6 and 7 and call it a day.”
Now that sounds like a good idea! 😉
Has filming begun for Virgin River season 6?
Yes, thank goodness! The official Virgin River Instagram account posted a happy and official update about the filming process in late February.
The post was a behind-the-scenes photo of Jack and Mel in their character's attire, holding up a director's clapboard.
The post was captioned: "It’s official! Virgin River season 6 is back in production!"
Here's to hoping we get lots more behind-the-scenes content! 👏
What will Virgin River season 6 be about?
An official plot has not been confirmed at this time. However, the Netflix series is based on the book series of the same name by Robyn Carr. So if you've read the books, you may have a better idea of the general direction.
However, show runner Patrick Sean Smith spoke with Deadline revealing a bit of what's to come. For one, there will be a noticeable time jump in season 6, according to Smith. A lot happened in the season 5 part 2 finale, so we're interested to see how they navigate this! But in even bigger news, he not only hinted at more Mel and Jack content, but also confirmed that there will be a wedding happening (potentially more than one, we just don't know with who yet), and some memorable villains are expected to return!
Who will be in the cast of Virgin River season 6?
The casting for Virgin River season 6 has not yet been confirmed. However, we hope that the majority of the cast will return, as the leading and supporting characters have been played by the same actors season after season. With that said: let's cross our fingers that the upcoming season includes Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Lauren Hammersley, Grayson Gurnsey, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, Marco Grazzini, Tim Matheson, and Chase Petriw!
