Choose a picturesque mountain scene, add a cast of attractive characters, and put them into a beautiful, romantic setting, and you’ve got a recipe for audience love.
With most episodes of Virgin River proving to be fresh and fresh, it’s no wonder fans can’t put down the show!
“Viking River,” adapted from Robin Carr’s novel series of the same name, was the author’s first work to be adapted into a television series, followed by the Canadian drama “Sullivan’s Crossing.”
The show definitely benefits from the source material that provided the story and inspiration for this beloved series.
Now, let’s get back to the real core by breaking down everything we know so far about Virgin River Season 6!
Has Virgin River been renewed for Season 6?

Fans of the series probably know this by now, but just for good measure, we’re going to go ahead and let everyone know that the series has indeed been renewed for a sixth season!
The show was greenlit ahead of its fifth season premiere in May 2023.
Since its second season, Virgin River has done well with early renewals, sometimes with filming already starting.
Netflix’s own head of scripts told Deadline, “You can rest assured there will be more Virgin Rivers.”
This is a huge hope for fans of the series, as it doesn’t look like the beloved series is going anywhere!
What is Viking River about?
Virgin River tells the story of Melinda “Mel” Munroe, who receives an ad to work as a midwife and nurse practitioner in the remote Northern California town of Virgin River.
Although Mel thinks this will be the perfect place to start over and leave behind painful memories, Mel soon discovers that small town life isn’t as simple as she imagined.
After the confusing cliffhanger of the holiday episode of Virgin River , viewers may be frothing at the mouth about the important things Mel’s father Everett had to tell her.
Thanks to Glamor magazine’s interview with executive producer and showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, there’s some plot to look forward to.
To name a few, we know Ava will return, Preacher and Kaia will have some resolution, and more will be learned about Cameron and Muriel’s relationship.
There’s sure to be a lot for viewers to look forward to when Virgin River returns for Season 6!

How many episodes does Virgin River have in season 6?
Virgin River is one of the few shows that has maintained a consistent episode count despite the fact that it has been on the air for so long.
Through an interview with series writer Ildiko Susany, we can confirm that Virgin River Season 6 will have ten episodes.
This news may disappoint some viewers, as seasons four and five have a total of twelve episodes.
However, this means that the show has to condense the storyline into a compact plot for the audience to enjoy.
It’s certainly not uncommon for Netflix shows to get extra episodes, usually in the form of holiday specials!

The upcoming season of Virgin River will be filled with new and returning characters!
Alexandra Breckinridge (“This Is Us”) stars as Melinda Monroe

Is there a trailer for Vikings Season 6?
Currently, there is no official trailer for “Viking River” season 6.
This is mainly because the show is in production and fans may not see a trailer until the end of the year.
