Netflix’s beloved romantic drama Virgin River, which last graced screens with

heartwarming festive specials, is gearing up for its sixth season. Fans witnessed a

touching reunion between Mel Monroe, portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge,

and her estranged father in the latest episodes. Production for the upcoming season kicked off in February, with initial reports suggesting a 2025 release. However, Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos has hinted at an earlier premiere, possibly towards the end of 2024. In a Netflix Q2 earnings interview, Sarandos teased a packed schedule: “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.”

While an exact launch date for Virgin River’s sixth season remains under wraps, developments in production have fans buzzing with anticipation. The forthcoming season will consist of 10 episodes, with filming concluding at the end of May. Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan, has been keeping followers in the loop with regular behind-the-scenes updates. On August 5, he shared on Instagram: “Back in the booth getting post-production just right for season 6 of #Virginriver.”, reports the Express. Fans are eagerly awaiting any sneak peeks into the upcoming season of Virgin River. So, is there a trailer for season six yet?

Currently, there is no official teaser for the sixth season of Virgin River, likely due to the finalisation of the release date still being up in the air. Should the new instalments be slated for late this year, audiences might expect a preview within the traditional timeframe of late autumn or early winter, as with past seasons. The two special episodes saw a release at the end of November 2023, and similar scheduling was observed for the first and second series, typically landing in either late November or early December. Conjecture suggests a possible October reveal for the trailer; however, this remains unconfirmed.

What’s guaranteed is Colin Lawrence’s return as Preacher, who took to social media to share insights from his filming stint. He wrote: “Another one in the books! That is a season 6 wrap for me on our ‘little show’. A big shout out to our hard working crew! Also, much love to our amazing fans for continuing to follow us on our journey! “. Last season’s festive special introduced viewers to John Allen Nelson as Mel’s father, hinting at a larger storyline for him in season six. Moreover, by the end of May 2024, Virgin River announced an infusion of new talent with four actors Gigi Neil, Erin Kathleen Boyes, Rachel Drance, and Ese Atawo joining the cast in recurring roles for the forthcoming season. Brent Fidler is set to take on a leading role, while Jayce Barreiro is anticipated to portray the character of Roy Green.
