‘Virgin River’: Mel and Jack’s Wedding Won’t Happen in Season 5

As excited as fans are about their engagement, Mel and Jack won’t

be getting married in ‘Virgin River’ Season 5.

Virgin River has absolutely won Netflix fans over.

The drama series is based on romantic books by author Robyn Carr. At the center of the show is the relationship between Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). Fans have watched the couple’s relationship expand and grow since season 1. Now that they are engaged and Mel is expecting a baby, fans hope for wedding bells. However, there won’t be a Mel and Jack wedding in season 5 of Virgin River.

Jack’s romantic past will come back to haunt him on ‘Virgin River’

Despite the bombshell Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) dropped at the end of season 4 about the paternity of her twins, Mel and Jack are in a really good place. Now that Jack is dealing with his PTSD productively, the pair are looking ahead toward marriage and welcoming their baby girl.

However, as we know with drama series, nothing is ever going to be smooth sailing. Jack’s romantic past is set to come back to haunt him in season 5. If you recall, the former Marine was once married to a woman named Mandy.

“There are a lot of great Easter eggs and breadcrumbs that have been left, and we are clocking all of them thoughtfully,” new showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Glamour. “I would say, check out season five and see if Mandy makes an appearance.”

The Mel and Jack wedding won’t come in season 5

With so much going on and Mandy’s apparent re-entry into Jack’s life, don’t expect any wedding bells between the pair in season 3.

“Mel and Jack are such an epic couple that you really want to savor things as much as you can,” Smith told TV Line. “We don’t want things to ever feel like they’re stalled, but we also want to enjoy [their engagement] while we can. So we’re moving at that pace with all of the things they have ahead of them, anticipating [a wedding] down the road.”

It looks like Smith isn’t looking to escalate Virgin River’s slow-moving timeline just yet.

‘Virgin River’ Season 5 will be the best yet

Though we won’t see Mel in her white dress, there is a lot to look forward to in season 5, namely, who fathered Charmaine’s twins. The cast and crew have already begun filming season 5 in Vancouver, with filming slated to move through the end of Nov. 2022.In fact, Henderson is already giving fans hints about what to expect when the new season debuts next year. “Season five’s great, by the way. It’s the best season yet. I’m amazing in it,” he told Glamour.
