Save the date! Today, Netflix released the teaser trailer and teaser art for Virgin River Season 6, alluding to the highly anticipated wedding season of Mel & Jack. All ten episodes of the new season will be released on Thursday, December 19.
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.
Virgin River Season 6 stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Kai Bradbury, Kandyse McClure, and Mark Ghanime.
The directors include Martin Wood (601, 602, 607), Rama Rau (603, 604), Felipe Rodriguez (605, 606), Martin Henderson (608), and Monika Mitchell (609, 610).
The new season was written by Patrick Sean Smith (601,610), Jackson Sinder (602), Erin Cardillo (603, 608, 609), Richard Keith (603, 608, 609), Ildiko Susany (604), Thomas Ian Griffith (605), Mary Page Keller (605), Tesia Walker (606), and Becky Hartman Edwards (607).
Patrick Sean Smith, Sue Tenney, Amy Palmer Robertson, Roma Roth, Christopher E. Perry, Robyn Carr, Erin Cardillo, and Richard Keith are the executive producers.
“Christmas is coming early,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Netflix blog Tudum previously. In this season, “We’re trying to hit all the milestones of the pre-wedding planning, the bachelor and bachelorette parties, the rehearsal dinner.” Smith also promised that “babies and wedding bells are never off the table on Virgin River.”
“Mel and Jack will advance on their path to parenthood while also turning Lilly’s (Lynda Boyd) farm into their ultimate dream home,” he said.
Virgin River Season 6 will take place a few months after Season 5’s Christmas-themed episodes. When we check back in on our favorite town, it’ll be “deeper into springtime,” Smith said. “Brady will be volunteering at the Virgin River fire station under Fire Chief Kaia, who is pulled into Preacher’s past sins… Also, this season, we’ll be surprised by some returning favorites from the past.”
There will also be at least one new face around town. “The big new mystery character this season is Mel’s biological father, Everett Reid, who is carrying a long-held secret,” Smith said.
