Virgin River star Martin Henderson has shared an update ahead of season six debuting on Netflix.

Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan on the show, confirmed the new episodes

are currently in post-production by sharing a selfie from the recording booth on Instagram.

In the background is a screen with a scene from the new season seeing Henderson’s Jack and protagonist Mel Monroe, played by Alexandra Breckenridge.

“Back in the booth getting post production just right for season 6 of #Virginriver,” Henderson captioned the shot.

Meanwhile, a Virgin River prequel is reportedly in the works. Set to be focusing on the romance between Sarah, Mel’s late mother, and her biological dad, Everett Reid (John Allen Nelson), the spin-off was first announced in February. Additional plot details and cast are yet to be announced.

As for the sixth season of the main show, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith explained that fans will be treated to 10 episodes and a narrative “time jump from the holidays”.

Smith also teased that viewers will learn more about Everrett, with the new season exploring both his relationship with Mel and the eponymous town.

Everett was revealed as Mel’s biological father in the show’s Christmas specials.

“What 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,” he said in a Q&A.

Elsewhere in the Virgin River universe, Breckenridge has teamed up with her co-star Zibby Allen, who plays Jack’s younger sister Brie Sheridan, on podcast I Like You Very Much, which debuted in June.
