I think we’re exploring more in Season 6 is who Everett Reid is, what his backstory is, what his connection to Virgin River was when he met her mom and then also what it is today, since it’s a small town. The finale saw new character Everett Reid decide to be a part of her life after all, and left us with a big cliffhanger when he announced that he had something important to tell her.Īs noted above, the new episodes will deliver more of Everett, and when the showrunner spoke to Deadline about it in November 2023, he told the outlet: Viewers (as well as Mel and her sister) were stunned to find out that the man who raised Mel was not her biological father. We’ll Get More Details About Mel’s Father Smith noted to Tudum that the couple, who’ve been through a lot (including a heartbreaking miscarriage) in just a few months “will advance on their path to parenthood while also turning Lilly’s farm into their ultimate dream home,” so part of their plan might include getting married on their new property, as Mel suggested at the end of Season 5. We could also get a look at Charmaine’s twins with Calvin (I am STILL stunned by that baby-daddy reveal!), and see how she attempts to keep one of the town’s Big Bad crime lords out of their lives.Īs for those wedding bells, Mel and Jack got engaged at the end of the fourth season, and the end of the fifth saw them agree to buy the Anderson farm which was ruined by the wildfire. Smith’s chat with Tudum did hint at some story details, as he noted that “babies and wedding bells are never off the table on Virgin River.” A time jump of a few months is likely to see the mayor’s chief of staff, expectant mom Lizzie, showing her baby bump and preparing to welcome her little bundle of joy with Denny (who I sure hope has a job by then, seeing as how he left Stanford pre-med to stay with her). Season 6 will tell us all.īrady’s trying so hard to stay out of trouble for real this time, and here it comes knocking on his door again! We Might See ‘Babies And Wedding Bells’ And we're just getting a hint of what Jimmy's up to get back at Brady. And, as the showrunner told Entertainment Weekly in December 2023 about the still-imprisoned Jimmy: Of course, this probably also means that poor Brady is likely to be very deep into his romance with seemingly sweet single mom, Lark (Elise Gatien), who we now know is working with Jimmy to get revenge on him.

This will put the town “deeper into springtime,” and, presumably, way closer to some welcome events. Season 6, then, will be a rarity, as Smith also confirmed to Tudum that the action will start a few months after the Christmas episodes of Season 5. The length of Charmaine’s pregnancy is no longer a big question mark/concern for some fans, as the showrunner set the record straight by confirming that each season picks up, at most, a few weeks after the previous one.
