Ahead of its series five premiere this fall, Virgin River fans have gone wild for news that
the show will return for season six. The Netflix original, based on a series of books with
the same name written by Robyn Carr, has proved enormously popular with viewers.
The cozy, soap-drama starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson even dethroned Stranger Things from the number one spot of the Nielsen top 10 streaming rankings â pulling in 2.6billion minutes viewed in its first three days of series fourâs availability.
On the upcoming series five, Netflix said: âGet ready for more romance, paternity drama, rural drug kingpins and general small-town theatrics when Virgin River returnsâ
But it was the news that a sixth season is official on the way which had fans rejoicing on Twitter. Markghanime wrote: âSo so happy to hear about our lil powerhouse of a show is renewed!!â

Elliqks exclaimed: âBEST NETFLIX SHOW IS RENEWED THIS IS THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE.â DanGripReviews wrote: âGod yes, run this thing all the way until the end of time.â
Excitement was ramped up a level when one of the showâs stars Colin Lawrence, who plays John âPreacherâ Middleton took to Instagram to say: âJust got word that we have been picked up for a season six. Doing my happy dance! Doing my happy dance!â
