Alexandra Breckenridge‘s Melinda Monroe and Martin Henderson‘s Jack Sheridan prepare for their highly anticipated wedding in the trailer for the upcoming sixth season of Virgin River, set to arrive on Netflix on December 19. The drama and romance continue in the titular town with Season 6, which will consist of 10 episodes. The sixth season is also set to transport viewers back to the 1970s, with Jessica Rothe starring as the younger version of Mel’s mother, Sarah, and Callum Kerr as the younger counterpart of Mel’s father, Everett.
The trailer for Virgin River Season 6 begins with Jack looking dapper in his tuxedo, with Mel looking forward to their future together. It teases new beginnings for the characters, as Tim Matheson‘s Vernon “Doc” Mullins toasts about “second chances” and “second chapters.” The earlier seasons of Virgin River saw the couple navigate the ups and downs of their relationship, but for Season 6, both Mel and Jack are saying yes to forever against the picturesque backdrop of their outdoor ceremony.
“Against the backdrop of Mel and Jack’s romantic spring wedding season, this sixth installment promises fresh twists and turns, escalating love triangles, delightful wedding drama, as well as uncovered secrets from Mel’s father’s past which will transport us to the magic and mystique of Virgin River in the 1970s,” the official synopsis for Season 6 reads.
‘Virgin River’ Gets Early Season 7 Renewal Ahead of Season 6 Premiere
Ahead of the Season 6 premiere, Netflix announced back in October that the romantic drama had been renewed for a seventh season. This shouldn’t come as surprising news, given the series’ significant viewership record. Virgin River has enjoyed its placement in the Netflix Top 10 list in various countries, and Season 5 (which premiered in September) has continued to impress with its more than 2 billion minutes of viewing, according to Nielsen’s September 11–17 streaming charts (via The Hollywood Reporter). The series has consistently been a critical darling, with only the third season falling short with its 56% Rotten Tomatoes score. The rest of the seasons, moreover, performed critically well — particularly Season 4 — which has proven to be a favorite among critics with a 100% score.
Virgin River, based on the series of novels of the same name by Robyn Carr, follows Mel’s journey as she leaves her past life behind and starts anew in the remote titular town. Throughout the series, viewers have seen Mel — as well as the rest of the characters — traverse the highs and lows of life in the beautiful fictional countryside. It also stars Colin Lawrence as John “Preacher” Middleton, Annette O’Toole as Hope McCrea, Benjamin Hollingsworth as Dan Brady, Zibby Allen as Brie Sheridan, Marco Grazzini as Mike Valenzuela, Sarah Dugdale as Lizzie, Kai Bradbury as Denny Cutler, Kandyse McClure as Kaia Bryant, and Mark Ghanime as Dr. Cameron Hayek.
Virgin River Season 6 arrives on Netflix on December 19, just in time for the holiday season. The first five seasons are available to stream on the platform. Along with the new trailer above, you can also check out some new images from Season 6 below.
