In the Netflix series that follows the journey of Melinda “Mel” Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge), a midwife and nurse practitioner who relocated to the remote Northern California town of Virgin River soon realizes small-town living isn’t quite as simple as she expected. Ahead of Virgin River season five Kai Bradbury, who plays Denny, deems it the “best season ever”.
Kai Bradbury recently appeared on the Chatting with B podcast, where he discussed all things Virgin River.
Host Billinda asked the actor to describe the upcoming season in three words to which he replied: “Best season ever!”
He assured he did not give too much away when asked what fans can expect to see, saying: “It’s definitely heartwarming, it’s definitely gripping and it’s definitely unexpected.”
The star continued: “New things happening in Virgin River.”
Bradbury’s character Denny debuted in Virgin River at the end of season three and it is soon revealed he has a degenerative condition called Huntington’s Disease.
Denny claims to be the long-lost grandson of Doc Mullins (Tim Matheson), and at first, he’s welcomed with open arms by the doctor and his wife, Hope (Annette O’Toole).
But as the plot thickens, Denny finds himself in many difficult circumstances, as he was caught stealing medicine from Doc’s clinic, photographing his medical files, and he was also seen transferring large sums of money around.
While it was sweet Denny fell into a romance with Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), his wildly inconsistent behavior soon ended up with his new friends and family becoming suspicious.
First debuting on Netflix back in December 2019, Virgin River has quietly been one of Netflix’s sleeper hits, with fans around the world enjoying the romantic drama.
Netflix has confirmed there will be a fifth season and following its predecessors, it’s likely to expect a July release date.
It’s been revealed there had been delays in filming season five, which was initially supposed to hit production back-to-back with season four, but this didn’t come to fruition.
That shoot was pushed to July 2022 and at the time of writing in November 2022, had just wrapped up according to star Alexandra Breckenridge on Instagram.
