Virgin River Season 5 will be one of the much-awaited series for you if you have completed season 4 of the show. The Netflix original series Virgin River follows nurse and midwife Melinda Monroe as she leaves her traumatic memories behind and relocates to Virgin River, North California, for employment.
The tv series has been a hit ever since it debuted in 2019, and it has already been renewed for a fourth and a fifth season by the time the third season had been shown. Now that Virgin River season 4 has been released on Netflix, here’s everything we know about the upcoming Virgin River season 5.
Will Virgin River Return For Season 4?
Yes! Last year, Netflix extended Virgin River for two more seasons, ensuring that Jack and Mel would appear on our screens at least once more. Soon after the release of season 3, the show Virgin River was given the go-light for a fourth and fifth season. In September of 2021, the love drama shared this good news with its audience via an Instagram video that featured actors Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) and Martin Henderson (Jack).
The Season 4 of the show has ranked #1 in the USA.

Official Release For Virgin River Season 5
There will undoubtedly be the fifth season of Virgin River, according to Netflix, although no specific date for its release has yet been set. However, based on what we currently know, season 5 is anticipated to premiere in the summer of 2023. Given that seasons 3 and 4 were both released in July of their respective years, it is reasonable to assume that season 5 will also have a July release date set. So, if everything goes according to plan during production, we should be able to watch the series by the summer of 2023.

We can safely assume that all the main characters will return, given how Season 4 ends. This comprises
- Alexandra Breckenridge will be seen in the role of Mel Monroe
- Martin Henderson will be seen in the role of Jack Sheridan

When Did Filming For Virgin River Season 5 Begin?
The fifth season of Virgin River reportedly began filming on July 18, 2022, according to reports. The official Instagram account for the show announced the beginning of production on the upcoming fifth season by posting a screenshot of the cast participating in a virtual table read. And by November of the same year, principal photography for the season is anticipated to be finished.
Virgin River Season 5 Plot Speculation
Although Netflix hasn’t released any official information on the Virgin River season 5 narrative, we can make some very good assumptions. First and foremost, Mel and Jack have recently gotten engaged, which means that the fifth season of Virgin River will hopefully feature their wedding.
After season 3, one significant query we had was over the father of Mel’s child. The baby girl’s paternity was thankfully confirmed by a test, but a significant season 4 cliffhanger saw Charmaine admit that her twins are not actually Jack’s. Without a doubt, Season 5 will see Jack and Mel adjust to this change, which, curiously enough, might be healthy for their relationship.
Aside from that, Paige ultimately prevailed in her mission to save both herself and Christopher, with a little assistance from Preacher, who knocked Vince out of commission before he could kill Paige. However, we still need to determine whether Vince is genuinely dead or is only temporally incapacitated. You can count on hearing the response to that question next season.
After Melissa Montgomery was shown in season 4, it’s possible that we already have a good idea of who the next major antagonist of the series will be. Although she hasn’t done anything really wrong so yet, a secret photographer was undoubtedly interested in her company. This, combined with the somewhat ominous soundtrack playing when she first appears, makes us think that this might be a season 5 character to keep an eye on.
Where To Watch Virgin River?
The fifth season of Virgin River will be available to stream on Netflix.
