All the Details on ‘Virgin River’ Season 6—Including the Cast, Release Date & More

It has already been over a year since Virgin River fans last caught up with Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson)—and it's been even longer since Netflix revealed that season six is confirmed. Fortunately for all of us, we won't have to wait much longer before we revisit the charming small town and, most importantly, get some answers to our long-awaited questions.

Will Mel and Jack finally become parents? What's the deal with Mel's biological dad? And who is the real father of Charmaine's (Lauren Hammersley) twins? I unfortunately don't have those answers, but I've researched quite a few details, from the cast to the release date. Keep reading for the latest updates on Virgin River season six.

On May 17, 2023, several weeks ahead of season five's premiere in September, Netflix announced that Virgin River is officially returning for a sixth season.

The show's renewal came as no surprise, since Jinny Howe (Netflix’s Head Of Drama and Development) hinted that the story would continue beyond season five. She told Deadline, “I think we definitely see more longevity and growth with the show. As long as the audience asks for it and shows up—and I think we see with season four that the fandom is very strong and growing in many places as well—it feels like based on what we’re seeing with season four and the anticipation for season five that there is a lot more storytelling to offer us."

Production for season six began in February 2024, and the cast marked the occasion with some exciting updates on Instagram. Henderson shared a behind-the-scenes snap of himself and Breckenridge and wrote, "Aaaaaannnnnnndddddd……we’re back! Back at it in Vancouver commencing shooting for season 6 of #virginriver that’s right folks we are at it again! Feels so good to be back in Jack’s boots making more what we hope to be riveting, romantic and racy drama for y’all. Stay tuned for more updates on set life and BTS banter."

Filming concluded in June 2024, and towards the end, Henderson posted a pic from his makeup trailer. He wrote, "Been a huge season with a lot of what I hope makes you fans very happy." 

Although production has officially wrapped, Netflix has yet to release the official trailer for Virgin River season six. However, they did offer a few first look photos on Instagram, including a shot of Mel and Jack and a solo pic of Dan looking....well, not pleased.
