What is it about Virgin River that keeps Netflix users coming back for more, making it one of the most popular shows on the streaming service?
Some might say it's the laid-back vibe that pervades the titular Northern California town. Some will say it's the romantic intrigue and drama that intertwines each storyline. Well, we'd say it's the talented ensemble cast who never fail to impress with their chemistry, dynamism and commitment to the story.
And one of the undisputed favourites for Virgin River fans is Martin Henderson, who portrays Jack Sheridan. The 49-year-old heartthrob's charm and humble nature make the hearts of almost every viewer beat faster, but now Henderson's career is about to take a drastic turn, as from Season 6 he will not only be responsible for playing the role of Jack, but for other duties as well.
Without further ado, let's take a look at what...

If there's one thing that is abundantly clear, it's that Netflix can't be stopped.
It's always on the tips of tongues, whether it's the controversial (and irksome) crackdown on password and account sharing, the particulars of how it may have had a role in the dual Writer/Actors strikes, or the near-constant outcry over its many cancelations of beloved series.
Love or loathe it, when it comes to discussing modern-day viewing of content, Netflix is at the forefront of all discussions.
Netflix Layoffs, What Does It Mean?
And that's why the news about the streamer facing yet another round of layoffs had many pondering what it meant for them and how it would influence their favorite shows and content.
Rest assured that as unfortunate as those layoffs were, they won't impact any of our beloved series or films.

Netflix’s hit series Virgin River might be getting a spinoff. The streaming service is considering a prequel series focusing on Mel’s (Alexandra Breckenridge) parents, according to a new report.

The Virgin River prequel is currently in development at Netflix, Deadline reports. The show would focus on Mel’s mother, Sarah, and her relationship with Everett Reid.
In the 2023 Virgin River Christmas episodes, Mel learned that her mother had a relationship with a man in Virgin River and that man was her biological father. That sent Mel on a quest to find her biological dad, who was eventually revealed to be Everett. Though at first he wanted nothing to do with his daughter, he eventually had a change of heart.

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about the Virgin River Christmas special
Netflix’s Virgin River closed out its fifth season with a two-episode Christmas special set during the holidays, more than three months after the “Labor Day” Season 5 Part 1 finale. As suggested by the aptly titled Episode 512, “Father Christmas,” the special’s main storyline follows the bombshell cliffhanger in the Part 1 finale, that Mel’s biological father is likely a man from Virgin River.
With only a couple of clues to his identity in the man’s love letters to Mel and Joey’s mom Sarah to go off of, Mel and Jack launched a search that eventually led them to Everett Reid, who lives in a cabin outside of Virgin River. At first, he wanted nothing to do with Mel but by the end of the two-hour special, in a true holiday spirit, he came around and,...

We must've been on the "Nice" list.
If there was ever any wonder of what Christmas would be like in Virgin River, then Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 delivered some sugar, spice, everything nice, and a dash of drama.
Virgin River is the perfect series to capture the Hallmark Christmas movie vibes. For the most part, they leaned heavily into some tooth-achingly sweet moments, Christmas festivities, and a strong sense of community and family.
We even got a few Christmas miracles thrown into the mix, from Mel coming face-to-face with her biological father and Charmaine's twins Finally being born.
The two-hour holiday event worked as far as slotting between seasons despite serving as the last installments for Virgin River Season 5.
It delivered on some of the questions that lingered after Virgin River Season 5 Episode 10, namely, focusing exclusively on the quest to find Mel's father.

What did you do this summer? Netflix added a ton of subscribers and made a bunch of money.
The streaming giant onboarded 8.76 million subscribers from July to September and now has a total of 247.15 million global paid subs. That’s a significant improvement over the 5.89 million people it added during the prior quarter. Netflix previously predicted about the same number would join in Q3 — talk about tempering expectations.
It was the same story with the company’s financial results. Netflix posted $3.73 of earnings per share (Eps) on $8.542 billion in revenue for the summer quarter. Netflix met or exceeded pretty much all financial forecasts for the quarter — including its own.
Wall Street anticipated Netflix Q3 Eps of $3.49 on revenue of $8.54 billion, according to estimates compiled on Yahoo Finance. Netflix’s previous guidance foresaw its own earnings per share coming in at $3.52 on $8.52 billion in revenue.

“Thrilled to have our writing team back in action, diving into Season 6!” read the caption.
In May 2023, Netflix confirmed that it had renewed Virgin River for a sixth season. However, the show’s writers could not immediately get back to work on the new episodes due to the WGA strike, which began in May. The strike ended in late September, allowing the writers to return to work.

Just like family! Virgin River Season 5 recently dropped on Netflix, and the new episodes had us wondering if the cast is as close in real life as they are on screen. Well, when it comes to series stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, the answer is yes.
Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson are friends in real life
Breckenridge and Henderson play fan-favorite couple Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan in Virgin River. While the pair have a serious romance on-screen, in real life, the two actors are not a couple. However, they are good friends.
“I’m really good friends with Zibby Allen [who plays Jack’s sister Brie Sheridan], and Martin [Henderson],” Breckenridge revealed in an interview with The List. “Those are my two closest. They’re my friends; they’re my people.”
It’s not unusual for Henderson to share videos of himself and Breckenridge goofing around on set on Instagram. He’s also called his Virgin River...

That was a twist we didn’t see coming. Virgin River Season 5 ended on a major cliffhanger with the unexpected reappearance of a character everyone assumed was dead. His jaw-dropping reappearance is sure to change things for everyone in Virgin River. But one character in particular has reason to be wary of his return.
[Warning: This article contains spoilers for Virgin River Season 5.]
Who is Calvin on ‘Virgin River’?
The latest Virgin River shocker came at the end of season 5’s 10th episode. A very pregnant Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) was attending the town’s Labor Day festival. As she was leaving the event, a man approached her.
“I thought you were dead,” she says as we see that the strange man is Calvin (David Cubitt).
“Yeah, so did the person who tried to kill me,” he replies. “I don’t have to hide from her anymore.”
Calvin, in case you forgot, was Virgin River’s resident drug kingpin.

An idyllic setting, charming cast, and sweet love story are often the ingredients needed for a good comfort watch. The desire to escape everyday pressures since the pandemic has seen viewers like myself going back to old favorites such as Gilmore Girls or finding something newer like Virgin River, currently streaming its fifth season on Netflix.
With each season reaching Netflix’s top ten, Virgin River has capitalized on fan’s love of Robyn Carr’s 21-book-long series of the same name and our increasing impulse to find new shows that don’t require too much of our attention. Virgin River is precisely that as it lacks terror-inducing Jaws music and instead provides Hallmark-esque vibes with the added dash of danger from the illegal drug trade surrounding the town.

Not every show is a blockbuster hit. Not every series becomes a part of pop culture. Some shows are quiet successes. In a world where streaming service providers are fighting an uphill battle for profitability, quiet successes might help build a foundation of stability. Virgin River is one of those quiet successes. Virgin River, now streaming season 5, is wildly prosperous by viewership numbers, but you wouldn’t know it because no one talks about it. For Netflix, a show like Virgin River could be its savior with its loyal following and low production costs. Virgin River has received a larger budget for its fifth season, but it is still miniscule compared to the streaming giant’s heaviest hitters.
What is the budget for season 5 of ‘Virgin River’?
Virgin River season 5 was released on Netflix on Sept. 7, and fans are already gobbling up the dramatic season, filled with love, tension, and a wildfire.

Mel and Jack are back on track, thank goodness.
Jack has truly stepped up this season and shown how much he's evolved as a character, and Virgin River Season 5 Episode 9 is a perfect display of this.
He pushed Mel to open up to him and communicate; he was so giving and vulnerable with her about his brother and the dark place he was in, and he helped her talk through her rash decision to give up on her dream.
And by the end of the hour, Mel realized that she still wanted to have a child, and she accepted that it was okay if it didn't happen the way she wanted.
It was a lovely series of events that led up to this rewarding moment for this pairing, and it's refreshing to see them show each other grace and work through their issues in such a healthy way.

Never underestimate the power of sisterhood.
One of the highlights of Virgin River Season 5 Episode 8 and the season in general is that there is such a strong and beautiful display of female friendship, and it's spread across the board.
We see it often with the Sewing Circle, which was also featured lovingly with helping and supporting Mel, but more specifically, we got a circle specifically for Mel with Brie and Ava.
From the moment they introduced Ava, it felt like the series was reaching to give Mel a girlfriend different from everyone else at Virgin River who can just be hers.
And Mel and Brie couldn't be closer to each other, which is lovely because they've put in the work to build a relationship between them that's outside of Jack.
Mel Monroe has always been this character who gives and serves the people around her but is often so consumed...

The drama never stops on Virgin River. The Netflix series is juicier than ever in the just-released season 5, with surprising character exits, big breakups, and shocking pregnancy reveals. Everyone – from Preacher to Brie to Muriel to Doc – has a lot going on in these 10 episodes. But it’s our girl Mel Monroe that we’re most concerned with.
When we last saw her in season 4, Virgin River’s resident nurse and midwife was pregnant and looking forward to having a baby with Jack. It was a happy turn of events for Mel, who’d previously experienced a devastating stillbirth. So, how did her pregnancy journey play out in Virgin River Season 5?

What a nailbiter!
One could envision a wildfire hitting Virgin River would be intense beyond measure, bringing all sorts of panic, drama, and heroic moments.
And Virgin River Season 5 Episode 5 didn't fall short on that in the least, with a gripping installment ending in a cliffhanger with a girl on the edge of her seat.
Wildfires are terrifying, and we've unfortunately seen how destructive they can be far more frequently these days, so the notion of one touching down on the fictional ground of Virgin River elicited so many feelings.
As expected, heroes emerged, and the community is coming together in a way one anticipates.
The entire hour is devoted to the increasing danger of a fire spreading and destroying everything we love and hold dear about this small town.
A sense of urgency builds throughout the hour, as it starts with a casual awareness and caution about the fire,...

Life is dealing the folks of Virgin River with heartwarming and heartbreaking cards.
And frankly, we wouldn't have it any other way, as Virgin River Season 5 Episode 4 served as a bit of calm before the storm, or in this case, before the wildfire.
The hour served as a reminder that we must take the bad with the good in life and can't take anything for granted.
It made it a perfect precursor for what's to come when the wildfires ravage through this small town we know and love.
Do you know what's winsome? A collection of women in their 60s and older reflecting on life and figuring out what their new normal is.
There is often so much discourse surrounding women and aging, and the ladies of Virgin River welcome the concept of aging and the discussions surrounding it and show how beautiful it is.

We are 100% here for all the characters on Virgin River growing, evolving, self-reflecting, and trying to be their best selves.
Sometimes, you don't need too many external conflicts to tell a compelling story, and Virgin River Season 5 Episode 3, much like the previous installments, showcases that well.
There's no shortage of conflict coming from outside sources, of course, as the wildfire is approaching and Melissa and her brother both are impacting many people in Virgin River, but the internal work and interpersonal dynamics among characters are most compelling.
The hour introduced us to Lizzie's ambitious, career-driven, opinionated mother, Deidre, and Preacher's scorching hot firefighter love interest.
We also got some endearing moments between Jack and Denny as he continues down his path of healing.
The opener was enough to leave you gasping as you feared that Jack had somehow backslid with his drinking and disrupted things with Mel.
Fortunately, that wasn't the case,...

Excuse us while we pick our jaws up off the floor. Netflix’s Virgin River never fails to deliver when it comes to shocking, season-ending twists, whether it’s Mel finding Jack on the floor of his bar bleeding out from a bullet wound or Charmaine confessing that she lied when she said Jack was the father of her unborn babies. So, we were expecting something of a cliffhanger heading into Virgin River Season 5 Part 1 finale, “Labor Day.” But we still weren’t prepared for what happened in the episode’s final moments, and how it changed things for one key character.

It feels like a season of healing and reflection for many of the characters, and there's something genuinely endearing about that.
In many ways, Virgin River Season 5 Episode 2 felt like a stronger case for the season premiere than Virgin River Season 5 Episode 1.
We got the much-awaited and necessary conversation between Jack and Charmaine, leading to an unexpected display of both individuals taking ownership and accountability for their actions and potentially moving forward healthily.
We also established a theme for the season involving motherhood and reflection as Mel, Preacher, new character Ava, and Charmaine all reflect in various ways on how their mothers influenced their lives and how that applies to their respective journeys now.
The insight into the characters that we've come to love is just knowing, and yes, even those we loathe, led to many compelling scenes within the hour.

Changes are coming to Virgin River, and some of them are surprising.
Most of Virgin River Season 5 Episode 1 caught us up with where things left off during Virgin River Season 4 Episode 10 and eased us into some of the new conflicts and plots we can expect for the season.
One of the most prominent takeaways from the premiere is that Melissa Montgomery is here to disrupt Virgin River's quiet world and all the people within it.
If the hour didn't set anything else up, they touched on how many conflicts would arise because of Melissa's plans and actions and, sadly, because of how Brady and others may get tangled up in her web.
We also saw some new faces arriving, familiar ones departing, and some shake-ups.
Surprisingly, we breezed past those tense final moments of the season four finale that saw Jack learning the shocking truth that he was not the twins' father.

On Wednesday, Netflix's first formal Upfronts presentation brought some exciting news for fans of the streaming service's most beloved shows.
Ginny & Georgia, which has been in limbo since January, has secured a pickup for two more seasons, keeping the show on the air through what will likely be the fourth -- and final -- season.
In an exclusive post-mortem interview in January, then-showrunner Debra J. Fisher teased that she and series creator Sarah Lampert had mapped out a four-season run for the show.
The renewal announcement's delay is shocking, especially considering the show has been a strong performer for Netflix.
However, the streaming service confirmed that Sarah Glinski (Degrassi: Next Class) will take over as showrunner from Fisher.
There is no reason for the switcheroo, but fans will be happy knowing the show is returning.
Ginny & Georgia Season 2 concluded with countless cliffhangers, including Georgia being arrested for murder.

After four seasons of "Virgin River," it's easy to understand why the Netflix series keeps viewers on the edge of their seats. It has everything a viewer could ask for: roller-coaster relationships fueled by gossip, dramatic medical emergencies that pull new characters into the spotlight and into our hearts, the strength of women at the show's core, and beautiful cinematography showing every angle of the dreamy forest landscapes of the magical town of Virgin River.
Multiple plot lines weave together in "Virgin River" season four, including the introduction of new characters like Denny and Dr. Cameron Hayek, Brie's sleuthing to solve the mysteries surrounding Brady's wrongful arrest, Preacher's efforts to find Christopher's kidnapper, and Mel's miraculous pregnancy that flips her relationship with Jack Sheridan upside down. But a new villain, Melissa Montgomery, is also introduced, and fans think her connection to Jack's new investor, Nick, has major implications for Jack next season.

The official trailer for season 4 of “Virgin River,” the Netflix romantic drama based on the novels of Robyn Carr, has been released.
“Virgin River” stars Alexandra Breckenridge as Melinda Monroe, a nurse practitioner who accepts a job offer to move from Los Angeles to the titular North Carolina small town. The show follows Melinda as she adjusts to small town life and gets involved with romantic drama, particularly involving local restaurant owner Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson).
The Season 4 trailer picks off where Season 3 left off, with Melinda pregnant and unsure whether or not the baby is Jack’s or if the father is her late husband Mark (Daniel Gillies). The question causes strain in the two’s relationship, especially with Melinda eager to find out who the father is, while Jack tries to dissuade her from taking a paternity test.

Luckily, the video shows us almost immediately that Jack is Ok, but he is going to need some downtime to recover from the injury and Mel is the biggest supporter of him staying in bed — for medical reasons and romantic ones.
Yes, these two lovebirds are finally, officially in a real relationship, which means things are about to get complicated in a different way, as the topic of having a baby together comes up between them — and pretty much everyone else in town.

Netflix's small-town drama Virgin River has developed a devoted fanbase since its premiere in 2019, and when the second season premiered this in November, it became one of the most watched shows on Netflix. There is a lot to love about the show, from its picturesque setting to the white-hot chemistry between Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan. The most integral part of the series, however, isn't the romance; it's the strength of the female characters who lead the town, challenge sexism, and flip the script on what to means to be nurturers.
It's empowering to watch a show where women not only value themselves but are protective of one another (even as they're competing against each other). Hope, Connie, Lily, and Muriel are part of an older generation of residents, while Mel and Paige adopt Virgin River as their home. They come from different generations but are alike in their compassion and leadership.
