Martin Henderson Confuses 'Virgin River' Fans Amanda Edwards - Getty Images

Martin Henderson caused a bit of confusion with a behind-the-scenes photo from the Virgin River set, but the actor returned to Instagram to set the record straight. Martin, who plays Jack on the Netflix hit, shared a dreamy selfie showing him basking in the sunbeams in front of a mountain and holding a coffee mug.

The 48-year-old actor initially captioned the post, "Waiting on set finding sunbeams shooting season 6." Netflix has confirmed that season 6 is a go, but filming has not begun due to the ongoing writers' strike. Fans of the show jumped to the comments section to express their confusion:

  • "How exciting that you are filming Season 6. This is great news, but what about the writers strike that is still going on?"

  • "That cut on the cheek was from five, is this a permanent thing, or just following close behind 5? 🤭"

  • "Awwww seriously filming??. That is fantastic.. I thought it would all be on hold for now"

  • "WooHoo, filming for real? Sunbeams yes! 🤭"

Martin quickly returned to Instagram to clear up the confusion. He edited his caption "Sorry I originally wrote season 6 which was a silly mistake because we haven’t made season 6. 🙊" Rather, it is a throwback photo from season 5 filming.

Really, no apologies are necessary, because the Virgin River situation is a bit unusual. Seasons 4 and 5 filmed together, and season 5 filming wrapped back last year, so the premiere will not be impacted by the writers' strike. Netflix has not given a specific date for the show's return, but they have confirmed it will be this fall.
