Virgin River gets early season 6 renewal ahead of season 5

There’s more romance (and drama) in Virgin River’s future.

During Netflix’s upfront presentation on Wednesday, the streamer announced a handful of renewals, including a sixth season pickup for its soapy drama Virgin River, which is set to premiere its fifth season sometime this fall (following all of the baby drama that ended last season. ) The series, which stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, is based on the novels by Robyn Carr, and has been a huge success, following the many twists and turns of an idyllic small town.

Additionally, Netflix doubled-down on Ginny & Georgia, it’s twisted mother-daughter story, by picking up the drama for a third and a fourth season. And given how season 2 ended — with Georgia (Brianne Howey) being driven away from her wedding reception in a cop car — there’s still a lot left to untangle on the series.

The show is known for its relationship drama, and there’s plenty of romance in this trailer. Of course, there’s some Mel and Jack cuddles, but we also see Preacher (Colin Lawrence) holding hands with a woman who looks an awful lot like Paige (Lexa Doig) and Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale) and Denny (Kai Bradbury) locking lips.

There’s also a wildfire, Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) caught up in what looks to be a hostage situation, and Brie (Zibby Allen) taking the stand at a trial, speaking up for the real heroes of Virgin River. But don’t worry, “we will rise from the ashes,” promises Hope (Annette O’Toole).
That’s not even accounting for all the loose ends still to address from season 4. “There were so many cliffhangers at the end of season 4, that we pick up all of them,” new showrunner Patrick Sean Smith previously promised EW. “I didn’t want anything to feel a reset or reboot or any of that because everything was so juicy and so interesting. It was more how I wanted to pick it up.”

Netflix also released additional production stills from the season, which you can check out below.
