It’s that time again – Virgin River is returning for Season 6 and here is everything to know about it.
The news of this upcoming season was confirmed way before S5 premiered earlier this year. The summer of 2023 was originally meant for filming but due to unignorable reasons, there has been a delay in filming.
Good news though – it’s coming back and here’s all the information on this series!
Renewal status of the Virgin River Season 6.
The confirmation news of the renewal of Virgin River Season 6 was first announced in May as an early renewal – a pattern closely followed and considered consistent as each season is granted renewal.
Jinny Howe (the head of the scripted drama at Netflix) has shown considerable excitement and eagerness about the show’s return – and its possible future. She also hinted that the series isn’t stopping at S6, as there might be more of Virgin River coming our way. Cheers to that!
What Can We Expect from the New Season?
As we wait for the release of the Virgin River Season 6 possibly hitting screens in late November – we can expect a few things from the dropped hints but it’s still pretty early to come down to any formative conclusions.
The show’s runner, Patrick Sean Smith has shared the hints – and we can’t wait to spill the tea!
Smith mentioned that the events that would be taking place in the upcoming Christmas episodes would have a direct impact on the S6 happenings, events, and contingencies.
In terms of what we can expect from the brand new season – insights say that we can expect to see the return of Ava, a resolution of the Preacher’s relationship with Kaia, and possibly further exploration of Cameron and Muriel’s relationship.
In addition to this, the mystery revolving around Mel’s father will most likely be a subject matter of importance in the coming season. I guess, all that’s left to say is to just keep waiting!
What Is the Production Status of The Series?
Where the production is concerned, we have intel to support that S6 was being written early this year but there aren’t any official confirmations. We also know that each episode’s production cost is expected to tickle a range between $3 and $5 million.
Where the release date is concerned, we don’t have the official information but given that filming started pretty late in 2023 – we probably can’t expect to see S6 before the end of 2024 or even early 2025.
