Virgin River season 6 hasn’t even aired yet, and already some viewers

are raising concerns that the show might not even “make it” to season 7.

For fans of the popular Netflix series Virgin River, the wait for new episodes has been

excruciatingly long. The second half of season 5 stretched over the Christmas period, with the confirmed sixth season not even having a concrete release date yet.

Adapted from the beloved book series of the same name, the show appears to be taking only a few hints from the original storyline – but that doesn’t mean it’s leaving out many exciting story threads.

However, some fans are speculating that Virgin River might not even “make it” to season 7, despite a sixth installment that has yet to air.

According to some Virgin River fans on Reddit, the show may never “make it” to Season 7 — even as Season 6 waits to air.

The series follows a nurse who moves from Los Angeles to a remote town in Northern California, and is surprised by what she finds there — including a companion, Jack Sheridan.

“Season 6 is about to start filming. I saw somewhere that it starts in early February, so that’s a month away,” Reddit user Doggo0729 posted in a thread. “I hope the writers took advantage of this long hiatus to study the books, examine the dynamic between Mel and Jack, hire new intimacy coordinators AND most importantly, I hope they took the time to read all the fan comments on all social media platforms regarding Season 5. I hope they listened to the fans and if what they previously wrote didn’t fit the direction the story was supposed to go, I hope they’re smart enough to fix it.”
