Season 5 of Virgin River arrives on Netflix this Thursday, September 7.

These ten episodes have new drama in store for you, but also surprising revelations,

and they introduce an unexpected couple… Review guaranteed 100% without spoilers!

Finding Virgin River is like returning to your summer vacation spot, a small village where you know everyone and have your own habits. When a new season of Netflix’s romantic series arrives, it’s reassuring to know what we’ll find there: around ten episodes with likeable characters and others we love to hate, in the company of a cute couple, and in an idyllic postcard setting. A real breath of fresh air via screen. Even in the name of this fictional city, the series assumes its side full of good feelings, dripping but not too much, just well dosed. This is what awaits you when you reunite with Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) for this season 5 available on Netflix from this Thursday, September 7. Our favorite couple is back and preparing to face new storms, literally and figuratively, an expression which ultimately corresponds well to the state of mind of the series.

A double-episode of fire in season 5 of Virgin River

True to itself, Virgin River season 5 has its share of drama in store for fans. Starting with a double episode of fire which mobilizes all the characters and for which Martin Henderson did not hesitate to put himself in danger. A current topic, which affects both California where the story of Virgin River is supposed to take place and Canada where the series is actually filmed. If romantic fiction is rarely very realistic, these two episodes are very gripping and they endanger everyone’s lives, never releasing the tension during these two hours. So much for the fire!

An unexpected couple and the departure of several characters in season 5 of Virgin River

As for tears, they flow as easily in the series as the river that gave it its title. And they won’t spare you this year either. To the point of sometimes blaming the screenwriters: if happiness is never very interesting for series characters – the spectators would get bored too quickly – we wonder at what point those who imagine the plots will stop mistreating them and their allow you to be happy for a little more than five minutes. As for goodbyes, there will be several during this season 5, which has already seen several protagonists leave over the seasons. But new arrivals and an unexpected couple also spice up these ten episodes.

Virgin River season 5: two special episodes for Christmas on Netflix
Just like new revelations, which will make you want to see without delay the two Christmas episodes that Netflix has in store for you at the end of the year. But which do not contribute to reinforcing the realism of the series, quite the contrary. On this subject, if you were wondering: yes, Charmaine is still pregnant! See you on November 30 to find out if the twins will be born before the end of the year or if this expected birth like the Messiah will be for 2024 and season 6 of Virgin River, already confirmed by Netflix. Just after the release of these new episodes, reactions from fans were quick to arrive and some found the writers, like us, particularly unfair towards the heroes.
