As far as Netflix releases go, Virgin River Season 6 has been given the cold shoulder – but the streamer’s CEO has just let slip the best news for impatient fans.
The streaming service has boasted a healthy roster of releases this year, with big hitters including Heartstopper Season 3 and Emily in Paris Season 4 already having their dates set.
However, Virgin River Season 6 has left out in the cold – and as of writing, we still don’t have an exact release date for new episodes to come back.
That being said, there’s now a silver lining for the new TV show. Where it was originally thought that Season 6 would air in early 2025, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has now confirmed it will arrive on screens in late 2024.
Sarandos remarked during the Netflix Q2 earnings interview: “Just before the end of this year we’ve got Squid Game’s return, Emily in Paris’s return, a new season of Selling Sunset, The Lincoln Lawyer, The Diplomat, Virgin River, Love is Blind , Ryan Murphy has an incredible new season of Monsters.
“That’s all just coming up before the end of the year.”
Filming for Virgin River Season 6 began back in February, although it has never been officially confirmed if the shoot has since wrapped up. Taking this and the release of Season 5 into account, fans are most likely looking at a release window between November and December.
“Yee!! More Xmas episodes!” one fan posted on Reddit, with a second weighing in, “Yaaaay! Good news. This will be a nice winter treat I can’t wait to see what’s in store… I hope Mel finally gets to have a baby.”
“Yes I cannot wait any longer. I want to see Mel and her dad’s story and I know more problems for Brady are coming around,” a third mused.
Virgin River Season 6 plot details haven’t been revealed yet, but will most likely feature a time jump and Mel and Jack’s journey to parenthood, according to showrunners… as well as answering what Everett has to tell his long-lost daughter.
In the meantime, catch up with the Season 5 Part 2 ending, the original Virgin River books, and shows just like Virgin River to binge while you wait.
