We’re one step closer to Virgin River Season 6. The show’s writers are back at work crafting scripts for the new season of the Netflix drama, according to an update from the official Virgin River Instagram account.

On Oct. 10, the show’s Instagram shared a photo of the smiling writing team gathered around a table in a conference room.
“Thrilled to have our writing team back in action, diving into Season 6!” read the caption.
In May 2023, Netflix confirmed that it had renewed Virgin River for a sixth season. However, the show’s writers could not immediately get back to work on the new episodes due to the WGA strike, which began in May. The strike ended in late September, allowing the writers to return to work.

Hallmark has revealed that it will have 40 all-new, original movies for both its flagship channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, as well as special content for Hallmark Movies Now, the company’s subscription streaming service.
Even though the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes impacted TV and film productions, Hallmark anticipated the labor dispute by getting a head start on production in Canada. “Christmas is a year-round business at Hallmark, so we were able to mitigate early in the year understanding that the strikes were unfortunately imminent,” Lisa Hamilton Daly, EVP of programming at Hallmark Media, was recently quoted as saying. “We’re grateful to meet all our goals for a full, all-new holiday slate and to bring our viewers the content they love most to celebrate the season.”

That was a twist we didn’t see coming. Virgin River Season 5 ended on a major cliffhanger with the unexpected reappearance of a character everyone assumed was dead. His jaw-dropping reappearance is sure to change things for everyone in Virgin River. But one character in particular has reason to be wary of his return.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Virgin River Season 5.]
Who is Calvin on ‘Virgin River’?
The latest Virgin River shocker came at the end of season 5’s 10th episode. A very pregnant Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) was attending the town’s Labor Day festival. As she was leaving the event, a man approached her.
“I thought you were dead,” she says as we see that the strange man is Calvin (David Cubitt).
“Yeah, so did the person who tried to kill me,” he replies. “I don’t have to hide from her anymore.”
Calvin, in case you forgot, was Virgin River’s resident drug kingpin.

An idyllic setting, charming cast, and sweet love story are often the ingredients needed for a good comfort watch. The desire to escape everyday pressures since the pandemic has seen viewers like myself going back to old favorites such as Gilmore Girls or finding something newer like Virgin River, currently streaming its fifth season on Netflix.
With each season reaching Netflix’s top ten, Virgin River has capitalized on fan’s love of Robyn Carr’s 21-book-long series of the same name and our increasing impulse to find new shows that don’t require too much of our attention. Virgin River is precisely that as it lacks terror-inducing Jaws music and instead provides Hallmark-esque vibes with the added dash of danger from the illegal drug trade surrounding the town.
The series follows nurse practitioner Melinda “Mel” Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), who moves to the remote California town of Virgin River to...

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about Episodes 509 (Angel’s Peak) and 510 (Labor Day) of Netflix’s series Virgin River.
Part 1 of Virgin River‘s fifth season came to a close with eventful last two episodes. In typical Virgin River fashion, there were bombshell revelations — Lizzie is pregnant, baddie Calvin is the father of Charmaine’s twins, and the big one is the cliffhanger that set up the upcoming Christmas-themed two-episode Part 2 — Mel’s biological father is likely a man from Virgin River, identity unknown (for now).
That last shocker does stretch the limits of believability, even for a soapy romantic drama, as Mel originally landed in Virgin River, a place she said she had never heard of, after answering an ad.
In other developments, Jack takes Mel on a hike to Angel’s Peak to have a heart-to-heart after she had pulled away following her miscarriage. They get lost and rained on,...

I have chills.
The series managed to capture the heart and soul of this drama, with this community having to go through such a traumatic and terrifying ordeal. It was a tough one, but Virgin River Season 5 Episode 6 was one of the series' strongest hours to date.
At five seasons, one of the best aspects of having a series going this long is seeing how much characters have evolved from when we first met them.
And to highlight that even further, we saw that with so many characters put to the test during this natural disaster.
As far as the Dan Brady Redemption Arc, it has been seasons in the making, and while he still has some ways to free himself from Melissa's clutches, it was gratifying as a Brady fan to see him step up and continue to be heroic throughout this ordeal.
It's terrible that the other characters...

Virgin River is under threat. In season 5 of the Netflix drama, the picture-perfect small town faces a disaster that has become increasingly common for many Americans: wildfire.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Virgin River Season 5.]

Though Virgin River is filmed in British Columbia, the show is set in northern California. It’s a picturesque part of the state, but one that’s also prone to devastating fires. In 2018, 85 people died when a fire tore through the small town of Paradise in Butte County. In 2020, the August Complex fire burned more than 1 million acres. Given the setting, it makes sense that Virgin River eventually incorporated a wildfire storyline into the show.
In season 5, a fire breaks out not far from Virgin River. At first, it seems like it won’t be a huge deal. But eventually, the situation turns dire. As firefighters from CalFire battle the blaze,...

Excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor. Netflix’s Virgin River never fails to deliver when it comes to shocking, season-ending twists, whether it’s Mel finding Jack on the floor of his bar bleeding out from a bullet wound or Charmaine confessing that she lied when she said Jack was the father of her unborn babies. So, we were expecting something of a cliffhanger heading into Virgin River Season 5 Part 1 finale, “Labor Day.” But we still weren’t prepared for what happened in the episode’s final moments, and how it changed things for one key character.

Welcome back to Virgin River. Season 5 of the Netflix drama premieres Sept. 7, and hopefully, it answers all our questions about what’s next for Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack (Martin Henderson), Brady (Ben Hollingsworth), Brie (Zibby Allen), and the rest of the residents of Virgin River. Season 4 featured plenty of dramatic twists and a few unresolved cliffhangers. Here’s where things stand heading into the show’s two-part fifth season.
Jack is – and isn’t – the father
Virgin River Season 3 ended with Mel’s surprise pregnancy. But she wasn’t sure if she got pregnant from one last round of IVF with her dead husband’s embryos or if she conceived with her new beau, Jack. At first, Jack was hesitant to do paternity testing. He feared that if the baby wasn’t his, he’d feel differently about becoming a father. But eventually, he changed his mind and agreed to do the testing,...

“Virgin River” Season 5 is almost here and we finally have a trailer teasing the next chapter for Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson), from their high-risk pregnancy to the dangerous wildfire sweeping through their wholesome small town.
Netflix’s hit series promises to be a bit different with a two-part release schedule — the first 10 episodes arrive in September, followed by the final two at the end of November. What’s more, Christmas is coming to “Virgin River,” because the last two episodes are also holiday episodes!
The new trailer is fully focused on Season 5 Part 1, without a Christmas wreath or snowfall in sight. In fact, the elements are looking pretty treacherous, with a raging wildfire bearing down on the waterfront town and its close-knit residents.
Per the synopsis, Season 5 also promises “surprising new relationships, a shocking break-up, a difficult court trial, a heartbreaking goodbye” and, gulp, Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley...

The great news is that Netflix just dropped the Virgin River Season 5 trailer, and we're 100% already in our feelings about it.
We're gearing up for our biggest and best season yet!

Yes, Mel and Jack couldn't have ended on a better note as a couple, which was a relief after a tumultuous season that truly put this coveted pairing to the test in more ways than one.
Now, we have Jack and Mel happily engaged, expecting a sweet baby girl, and we know that Jack is the biological father.

It's been a year since Virgin River Season 4 concluded with multiple cliffhangers on Netflix.
With a confirmed premiere date for Virgin River Season 5 still Mia, the streaming service dropped many photos Tuesday morning, teasing coming events for the Alexandra Breckenridge drama.
Virgin River Season 4 Episode 12 wrapped with Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) dropping the mother of all bombshells by revealing that Jack (Martin Henderson) is not the father of her twins.
Naturally, fans had questions about whether this revelation would spell the end of Hammersley's tenure on the series.
The first batch of photos doesn't confirm or deny whether Charmaine will still be a part of the narrative, so we'll have to tune in whenever the series returns.
It's unclear how Charmaine's betrayal will affect Jack because he's been desperately trying to be in his ex-girlfriend's life, despite his undying love for Mel (Breckenridge).

On Wednesday, Netflix's first formal Upfronts presentation brought some exciting news for fans of the streaming service's most beloved shows.
Ginny & Georgia, which has been in limbo since January, has secured a pickup for two more seasons, keeping the show on the air through what will likely be the fourth -- and final -- season.
In an exclusive post-mortem interview in January, then-showrunner Debra J. Fisher teased that she and series creator Sarah Lampert had mapped out a four-season run for the show.
The renewal announcement's delay is shocking, especially considering the show has been a strong performer for Netflix.
However, the streaming service confirmed that Sarah Glinski (Degrassi: Next Class) will take over as showrunner from Fisher.
There is no reason for the switcheroo, but fans will be happy knowing the show is returning.
Ginny & Georgia Season 2 concluded with countless cliffhangers, including Georgia being arrested for murder.
