Alexandra Breckenridge, the star of Netflix’s romantic drama “Virgin River,”

has shared some disappointing news about the show’s upcoming sixth season.

While fans eagerly await the premiere of the fifth season on September 7, 2023,

Breckenridge revealed that the production of the already announced sixth season will be delayed due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike.

In an Instagram Story clip, Breckenridge expressed her frustration, stating, “I feel like I’ve been cooking since I got back from dropping off my daughter at school. I’m trying to do something fun and creative with my time because SAG is on strike, and I can’t go back to work.”

She continued, “I can’t even talk about work, so if all of you are trying to send me messages asking about work-related things, I can’t answer you, and I’m really sorry about that. I can’t post anything, I can’t promote anything. It’s very weird.”

Breckenridge, known for her love of cooking, explained that she is using this time to engage in her culinary passion. She acknowledged that she isn’t typically fond of extensive promotion and interviews, and cooking provides her with a creative outlet.

The fifth season of “Virgin River” will be divided into two parts, with the first ten episodes premiering next week, while the final two installments are set to air on November 30. The series’ trailer has promised an abundance of drama, including new relationships, breakups, pregnancies, and even a wildfire.
