When is the next entry coming?

November 30th can’t come any sooner for Virgin River fans.

The idea of two more episodes, which also happen to be the first holiday

specials in the show’s history, is enough to make old-time viewers’ hearts skip a beat. But the specials are not the only piece of good news for fans this fall. If you’ve been worried about the future of Virgin River because of the ratings dip the show suffered in Season 5, put your doubts aside.

Season 6 is definitely happening

Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith recently confirmed in an interview with Glamour that despite the declining numbers, Netflix is still greenlighting the new chapter and it is already in the works.

The showrunner added that as early as November, we’ll have an idea of what’s in store for Mel, Jack and the rest of Virgin River next season.

Well, that sounds perfect, but when exactly can we expect Season 6?

The next season is likely to air in 2025

While neither the studio nor the creators are rushing to announce exact dates, we can estimate when Season 6 arrives.

A full season of Virgin River takes about 12-15 weeks to write. With half of the new episodes already finished and the writing team back in the room together since October 10, according to the show’s official Instagram, the script could be ready by the time the holiday special debuts.Season 5 took four months to shoot and another ten months for post-production and marketing. If this schedule holds, Virgin River Season 6 is looking at a winter-spring 2025 premiere at this point, which is not ideal but probably the best deal we can get with everything going on in the Hollywood scene.
