‘Virgin River’ Season 4 will premiere July 20, 2022

After filming wrapped for season 4 in December 2021, Virgin River fans have desperately waiting for Netflix to announce the release date for the new episodes. Now we know that the 12-episode season will debut on July 20 on the streaming service.

Deadline shared the season description for season 4 and it’s going to be explosive.

A new photo may have just confirmed Mel and Jack’s breakup

In the season 3 finale, Mel interrupted Jack’s proposal to share her pregnancy news. The former Marine was thrown for a loop when Mel also explain her concerns about the baby’s paternity. Now, Breckenridge has shared that the couple is in for a bit of a tough road ahead. “If it’s not Jack’s baby, Jack and Mel are naturally going to have some tough times ahead,” the This Is Us alum told E! News via Hello! “It would be immensely difficult. That would be extremely challenging, especially for Jack. If he’s gonna stick around, if he’s devoted to Mel, that’s gonna be hard to have a baby that’s her dead husband’s baby. That’s just, like, asking a lot.”

Now a new photo has seemingly confirmed their breakup. In a new photo, newcomer Cameron (Mark Ghanimé) the doctor that just joined Mel and Doc’s (Tim Matheson) practice, can be seen smiling in Mel’s face. The character description for Cameron reads, “[He’s] a dashing new physician. Armed with eye-catching good looks, a razor-sharp intellect, and a smile that could light up the world, Cameron makes an immediate splash in town — especially with the ladies of Virgin River.”

In the newly released photo, Cameron and Mel can be seen sharing a smile and in-depth conservation which could hint at trouble between Mel and Jack.

We will finally learn who shot Jack

At the end of season 2, Jack was shot and left for dead in his bar. Then, in the season 3 finale, Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) was arrested for the crime. However, things aren’t quite adding up. Luckily, we’ll learn the truth in season 4.

“The audience will be genuinely surprised at who’s behind all of it,” Virgin River showrunner Sue Tenney told   Insider. She added, “If we get the actual reveal [in season 4], it would detail more of how this all was intertwined. The webbing of that story goes all the way back to the first season, so it’s a connective tissue that goes through four seasons.”
