What to Know About the ‘Virgin River’ Season 6 Premiere Date

Hello, dedicated viewers of Virgin River! It’s been a minute since we checked in with you. In fact, it’s been a couple of months since that season 5 part 2 finale and we’re just here to make sure you’re holding up okay as we wait for season 6 to premiere! Wait… there will be a season 6, right?

Listen, it’s a valid question! We just want to make sure that we’re able to head back to the beautiful town of Virgin River! Plus, Virgin River has a long history of keeping us on our toes after each season finale. (In case you forgot, Mel found her father, Wes’ body has been uncovered, Lizzie is pregnant, Charmaine had her twins, and something weird is going on with Brady’s new girlfriend.) Well, you’d be delighted to know that Virgin River has already been green-lit for season 6—even before season 5 premiered!

Here’s what you can expect with Virgin River season 6, including casting updates, premiere dates, and more.
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.”
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!
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!
