On July 20, 2022, Netflix released the fourth season of its popular drama series Virgin River, starring Martin Henderson and Alexandra Breckenridge. The series was renewed for two more seasons after the third season blew up and pulled in over a million viewers during the first month following its release in July 2019.
The fifth season will be in production this summer with a possible 2023 release.
The show is set in a small town in Northern California called Virgin River. After having trouble dealing with her husband's death, Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenbridge), moves to Virgin River from Los Angeles, hoping to start afresh and unhindered by her past. But this small town has much more to offer than what she expects.
Mel (Melinda) takes up a job offer as a nurse practitioner and midwife in Virgin River alongside the town doctor, Vernon Mullins. While Mel's initial reception isn't warm, what gets her through the whole experience is her new acquaintance, the owner of the local bar, Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), who helps her ease into country life.
The latest season has more of our favorite small town couple - Mel and Jack - ironing out the kinks in their relationship.
It sheds light on the cliffhangers from the third season and explores the lives of the characters. Mel is pregnant, with the identity of the father being unclear. Charmaine too, is set to give birth to twins, with Jack as their biological father. Hope is recovering from her car accident but is still haunted by the psychological aftereffects of her brain injury.
