Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge is gearing up to begin filming on the sixth season of

the popular Netflix drama, in which she stars as Mel Monroe. Taking to her

Instagram Stories, the actress revealed that she’s returned to her character’s signature

strawberry blonde hair color, sharing a video from the hair salon showing the star shaking her wet hair from side to side. She penned in the caption, “MEL “.

In the next video, Alexandra revealed that she’s staying in a rental property, and while she did not reveal her location, it’s very likely the star is back in Vancouver, where the drama is filmed.

Back in December, Alexandra’s co-star Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan, revealed that filming was due to begin in February.

Speaking to fans during a Q&A session on Instagram, the actor said: “We will be going back to start season 6 sometime in the New Year,” said Martin. “Probably February or something like that”.

According to several reports, filming for the upcoming ten-episode season began on February 2 and is scheduled to wrap on May 17.
As for the show’s future beyond season six, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith doesn’t intend on wrapping up the story anytime soon.

“There’s no plans of wrapping anything up. I think, as long as these characters are living, there are always going to be stories to tell, and that’s an incredible opportunity for any showrunner,” he told Deadline in December.
Alexandra also shared her hopes for a seventh season. “I keep trying to tell them they should just pick up Season 7 so we can just knock Seasons 6 and 7 and call it a day,” she told the publication, adding: “I’ m not aware of it being the final season.
