How <em>Virgin River</em> season 4 handles the paternity of Mel's ... (EW.com)

The question looms large over the Netflix series' fourth season, with Jack initially extremely reluctant to take a paternity test and get an answer once and for ...

It's a good thing too — since the season ends on another massive revelation, the fact that Charmaine's (Lauren Hammersley) twins are not actually Jack's after all. "But it was a really interesting take that the writers chose, where they gave Jack this perspective of, 'Okay, I'm going to be the father to this woman I love's child, but it may not be my own.' One would assume you have the same relationship to that child but there is a selfishness to people too, and this idea of it's not mine, so will I have the same degree of connection to this child? "Mark and Jack look very different, so I feel like eventually you're going to figure it out." It's so powerful and strong between them that if it was Mark's, it just felt like it was the past coming up again. So it's an interesting ride they go along that they then try and navigate that and be respectful of the other's individual take on it and all that drama that ensues from it." But it was interesting that Jack, who is a man who doesn't know that from experience, has doubts.

'Virgin River' Season 5: Everything We Know (MarieClaire.com)

Already renewed by Netflix, 'Virgin River' season 5 is expected to film in Vancouver in summer 2022.

Seasons three and four were released a year apart, in July 2021 and July 2022—signaling that Netflix may be aiming to release one new season of the show per year. Now that season 4 of Virgin River is out in the world, fans are itching to find out when they can expect season 5—and what that season might look like. The pace is leisurely, the relationships are slow burners, and the electronics are few and far between—but Netflix has moved fast to capitalize on its unexpected success, quickly renewing Virgin River for seasons 4 and 5 in the wake of the release of season three.

This week, the 55-year-old actor (who plays Jack Sheridan) posted a rare behind-the-scenes photo of Virgin River season 5. But from what I’ve read, it’s going to be good.”

Why trauma is cozy on “Virgin River” (Salon)

No one can show support like a small, fictional town, the kind of mutual aid many of us have been desperately missing during the pandemic — perhaps why shows like "Virgin River" and the different, though equally chummy " Only Murders in the Building" have surged during this time. What keeps me (and maybe you, secretly) watching is the scenery and the citizens. A " Gilmore Girls" world has "Gilmore Girls" problems, including not many characters of color. Virgin River (Courtesy Of Netflix)Like a hand-knit sweater stored too long without cedar, "Virgin River" has some holes. Colin Lawrence as Preacher and Nicola Cavendish as Connie in "Virgin River" (Courtesy Of Netflix)PTSD from war and sexual violence aside, most of the subplots feel surprisingly relaxing because they're low stakes. Mel works in a medical practice out of a historic home, and though part of the first season includes her distaste about her lodging, Jack fixes up her cabin in no time. Brie (Zibby Allen), the attorney sister of bar owner Jack, is a survivor of sexual violence, and true to life, the assault won't stay buried. This is a "Gilmore Girls" world with low crime (despite some kind of convoluted loggers/drug dealers subplot that everyone ignores), high incomes and gorgeous houses. Perhaps we like "Virgin River" because it prepares us to deal with a secret surprise grandson, or adopting your baby sibling your mom almost abandoned because she had the infant late in life after her husband died and then she dies suddenly too and you have a seizure from stress? Terrible luck falls upon the town of Virgin River more steadily than the British Columbian (pretending to be Northern Californian) rain. I think they mean "classy," and if viewing via a laptop perched on the bathroom counter while one is a bubble bath is secret, then fine. "Virgin River" has returned for its fourth season on Netflix, and it has returned a star after generating over 2 billion viewing minutes last season.

It’s also possible we could see Daniel Gillies make another cameo as Mark Monroe. Although it’s possible he could return next season, Gurney’s absence on the season 5 table read call does seem to hint that Ricky might be leaving Virgin River. Virgin River season 4 might have only just arrived, but work has already begun on the show’s next season!

Who's 'Virgin River's Hot New Doctor, Cameron Hayek? Meet Mark ... (Decider)

Everything 'Virgin River' fans need to know about Season 4's hot new character, Dr. Cameron Hayek, and Mark Ghanimé, the actor who plays him on screen.

But when Mel finds out Cameron plans on leaving, she resigns in hopes that he’ll stay and help Doc with the practice when she’s on maternity leave. So here’s hoping we’ll see more of Ghanimé in and out of the VR. We first meet Cameron in Episode 1 of Season 4 when Doc introduces him to Mel in the office. Jack and Cameron get off to a rocky start after Cameron disrespects Jack’s time spent in the Military. Once Jack begins drinking more during the season, Cameron tells Mel he doesn’t think Jack’s right for her, and Mel gets upset with him. So who is Cameron? And what do you need to know about Mark Ghanimé, the actor who plays him on screen? Based on the novels by Robyn Carr, Virgin River follows nurse practitioner and midwife Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) who relocates to the quaint titular town to start over.

Virgin River season 5 release: When could season 5 arrive on Netflix? (Netflix Life)

While the first two seasons of Virgin River debuted in November, Netflix moved the show to its summer programming slate in 2021 where it enjoyed a nice boost in ...

Barring any scheduling shakeups, it’s looking highly likely that the fifth season of Virgin River will release on Netflix sometime in July 2023. The bad news is that we’re in for another lengthy wait for the next season, but we do have a pretty good idea of when exactly the next season could be arriving on Netflix! Without giving away any spoilers, let’s just say that Virgin River season 4 ended with a batch of shocking cliffhangers that are sure to keep us talking for the next several months ahead.

'Virgin River' Star Alexandra Breckenridge Deserves Her Very Own ... (Decider)

Here's why Netflix should cast 'Virgin River' and 'This Is Us' star Alexandra Breckenridge as the lead in a charming original romantic comedy film ASAP.

Breckenridge’s two most popular TV roles speak volumes about her rom-com movie potential, but in case you need more convincing, she’s also starred in two delectably cheesy guilty pleasure holiday films, Love In Store and Christmas Around the Corner. That’s undeniable proof she has got what it takes to lead a breezy, delightful Netflix film. Breckenridge’s performance is especially lovable, and she brings heightened levels of sincerity and emotional depth to Mel that would make for a charming movie lead. Their slow-burn romance was stretched throughout the series, culminating in a rom-com worthy, Pearson-perfect speech from Sophie. Breckenridge absolutely nailed the delivery and left me wondering why she has yet to flex these talents in a charming Netflix film.

Where is Virgin River filmed? Real life locations of Mel's cabin and ... (goodtoknow)

Virgin River is filmed amongst stunning mountain and lake scenery. Here's where the locations fans have come to know and love can be found in real life.

The endangered Virgin River Chub can be found living in this stretch of river. Agassiz, 90 minutes east of Vancouver, has the accolade of being the place the “Welcome to Virgin River” sign was placed for filming. According to Condé Nast Traveller (opens in new tab), the Watershed Grill is 40 miles north of Vancouver, and is a popular spot for eagle-spotting. One fan commented on a picture shared by the account, with “I’m ready for some Watershed Gill in July - Virgin River”. No, Virgin River is not a real place. The property last went on sale in 2021, for a cool $2.3 million. When Mel arrives in Virgin River in season 1, the interior of the cabin is in a dilapidated state. Romantic drama enthusiasts have been quick to draw comparisons between Virgin River and the similarly quaint settings where popular Netflix show Sweet Magnolias is filmed (opens in new tab). Aptly named “The Caretaker’s Cottage”, the cabin is also no stranger to featuring on television. While filming in the area, Jack actor Martin Henderson often shares pictures of the beautiful scenery with fans on his Instagram account. With Jack’s former girlfriend pregnant with twins, questions over their paternity have been raised - fans are keen to find out who is the father of Charmaine’s twins on Virgin River (opens in new tab). Not the only resident questioning her child’s father, Mel’s pregnancy in season 3 (opens in new tab) also left fans reeling. Not only are the characters of the sleepy rural town leaving characters glued to their screens, but the beautiful mountain scenery adds to the escapism of the show.
