Virgin River season 6, episode 5, "Love Story," is one of the most controversial episodes of the new season. What's now known as the "Brie and Brady episode" was actually written by Cobra Kai star Thomas Ian Griffith, who stars as Terry Silver in The Karate Kid movies as well as Netflix's Cobra Kai, and Mary Page Keller.

Who knew the man who plays the most ruthless villain in Cobra Kai also has the finesse and talent necessary to write one of the biggest episodes of Virgin River season 6? Not us!

For those who don't recall, "Love Story" is the midpoint of Virgin River season 6. The episode marks a major turning point in the relationship of lovers, Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) and Brie (Zibby Allen). After Brie leaves a suspicious message on Brady's voicemail during the Bachelorette/Bachelor parties, she learns that Lark (Elise Gatien) is actually in a relationship with Jimmy...

While holding out hope for a ninth season of Gilmore Girls, Netflix has the perfect TV show that will fill the Stars Hollow-shaped hole in fans' hearts. Amy Sherman-Palladino's teen comedy-drama series ran for seven seasons on The WB and The CW (for its final season) before ending in 2007. Almost ten years later, though, Netflix revived Gilmore Girls for a four-episode miniseries — Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life — which served as the show's unofficial eighth season. After it ended on a cliffhanger, many believe and hope season 9 is inevitable, but as of 2024, it hasn't happened (yet).

Amy Sherman-Palladino and almost the entire original cast of Gilmore Girls returned for Gilmore Girls: A Year in the Life on Netflix in 2016.

The good news is that many more TV series similar to Gilmore Girls exist. The world might never run out of comedy-drama shows to watch, after all (with some...

Zibby Allen is well known for her role in Virgin River, but there are some other things worth knowing about the American actress.

Allen joined the Netflix drama series in Season 3 as Brie Sheridan, the sister of Martin Henderson's bar owner, Jack. Allen has remained a regular cast member ever since and appeared in the recent sixth season of Virgin River.

Here’s All We Know About Virgin River Season 7 So Far (Photo Credit – Netflix)

Virgin River is one of the most popular and longest-running shows on Netflix. The romantic drama has been on air since 2019 and follows the story of Melinda “Mel” Monroe, who relocates to the titular town to work as a midwife. However, she soon realizes that the small-town life is not as easy-going as she thought. The show recently finished airing its sixth season, which ended on a high note. Fans are now wondering if and when Virgin River Season 7 will premiere on Netflix.

Virgin River Season 7: Renewal Status

Virgin River fans would be excited to learn that the show has been renewed for a seventh season. Netflix announced the series renewal in October 2024, even before the Season 6 premiere. “There’s a lot more to go here with these characters,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith said in...

The drama never stops on Virgin River. The romantic Netflix series returned on Dec. 19 with a new season focused on Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack’s (Martin Henderson) long-awaited wedding. While the preparations for their big day were the emotional heart of the show’s 10 new episodes, there was plenty going on with the show’s other characters, including a shocking twist involving one person in the finale’s final moments.

In this season of Virgin River, Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) had her hands full with her twin babies, who finally arrived in last year’s Christmas special. Jack’s former hookup was also navigating a tricky – and potentially dangerous – situation with the twins’ father, Calvin (David Cubitt). The resurrected drug kingpin wanted custody of his sons, but Charmaine fought back,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Virgin River Season 6.] What happened to Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley)?! That’s one of the cliffhangers that Virgin River left us with at the end of Season 6, now streaming on Netflix. A lot happened in the final episode of the season, including Mike (Marco Grazzini) shockingly proposing to Brie (Zibby Allen) even though he knows about her hookup with Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth). But what had Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack’s (Martin Henderson) attention the day after their wedding was the fact that Charmaine was Mia from the ceremony. And so Jack headed over to her house to see what was going on, only to find the door open, signs of a struggle, and something that shocked him in the nursery. The good news? What showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told TV Insider about that cliffhanger. “I would say the twins are safe. I would be concerned about Charmaine,” he admitted. “I...

In the Virgin River season 6 finale, Mel and Jack's wedding day has finally arrived, and they run away from their own wedding! The couple rides off on Sugar and finds a moment of solace together in one of the first places Jack took Mel when they met. Before swapping vows, Mel shares her fears about the past and the future with Jack. It's the breather they needed before starting forever.

When they return, the wedding goes off without a hitch — or with one, as the running joke goes. Jack surprises Mel by changing out of his tux and into his Marines uniform. The surprises aren't over yet for the happy couple, though. Doc schemed to have Everett make it to the wedding to perform the now completed song he wrote for her mother. In the end, Sarah was honored.

But beyond the happy couple walking down the aisle and starting their lives together,...

Peaceful small town though it may seem from afar, “Virgin River” always packs in the drama. Each new episode brings emotional revelations and monumental moments for your favorite (or least favorite) residents and Season 5 was no different. In fact, with two parts and 12 episodes, it had even more room for life-changing events and gasp-worthy twists. So if you need a refresher, here’s a complete breakdown to recap “Virgin River” Season 5 in a hurry.

Netflix Doc and Hope Stayed Strong Through Health Struggles

Doc (Tim Matheson) and Hope (Annette O’Toole) spent much of the season navigating their relationship and careers through health challenges. Doc grappled with his deteriorating eyesight, which threatened to end his medical career — especially after Cameron (Mark Ghanime) clocked him struggling on the job. Hope continued to recover from her brain injury, and nearly lost her position as Mayor after Muriel (Teryl Rothery) brought a vote of no-confidence against her.

Please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Sheridan to the dance floor!

In the Virgin River Season 6 finale, everyone’s favorite restaurateur Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) and nurse practitioner Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) finally say “I do” at a grand wedding fit for the whole town — and that’s after they say private vows to each other at a secluded spot by the river. Basically, it’s two weddings in one.

It’s only fitting that the couple, who’ve been engaged since Season 4, get such a to-do — after all, we’ve spent six seasons watching them fall deeper in love. But now might be the time for even more of Mel and Jack’s dreams to come true, as a pathway to parenthood potentially reopens thanks to an expectant mother in town.

Also in Season 6, Jack’s lawyer sister, Brie (Zibby Allen), defends Jack’s best friend, Preacher (Colin Lawrence), in...

Netflix is headed back to Virgin River, and we have questions. Season 5 of the romantic drama ended with Mel connecting with her biological father, firefighters discovering Wes’ body in the woods, and the revelation that Lark was keeping a big secret from Brady regarding her connection with his former nemesis, Jimmy. How will the show resolve those and other plot points? We’ll have to wait and see, but these are the biggest questions we’re eager to get answers to in Virgin River Season 6.

Will Mel and Jack get married?

Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) have been through the wringer as a couple, and Virgin River fans are eager to see the pair get the happy ending they deserve (especially after Mel’s devastating miscarriage in season 5). Netflix has been teasing their wedding in season 6, even setting up a wedding website for the couple. We’re fairly...

It's almost time to return to the calming and comforting scenery of Virgin River and reunite with our old pals Mel, Jack, Hope, Doc, and the rest of the lovable characters. Virgin River season 6 finally makes its premiere on Thursday, Dec. 19 on Netflix in the wake of the show's best season yet and some of the most shocking cliffhangers it's ever dropped.

In the fifth season of Virgin River, which included a pair of holiday episodes, the town came together as they faced destruction from the California wildfires. During the devastation from the natural disaster, Mel and Jack experienced their own personal devastation as they endured the tragic loss of their pregnancy. Mel also discovered that her real birth father lived in Virgin River and tracked him down.

Beyond the wildfires and Mel and Jack's captivating relationship journey, plenty more shocking and emotional moments happened leading up to season 6, including surprising relationships (Cameron and Muriel!

The wait for Virgin River Season 6 is almost over. To help you with the wait, TV Insider and the delightful Zibby Allen (aka Brie Sheridan) are taking you onto the beloved set for an inside look at your favorite locations from the show. Allen’s first stop is at Brie’s immaculate home. The actress walks us through the house, stopping by her sleek and sophisticated kitchen that Brie rarely uses. “I don’t think Brie has yet to do any actual cooking. She’s too busy. She’s a lawyer. She’s between boys. They cook for her, I feel,” she says with a smirk. When she steps out into the backyard, Allen reveals her hopes for a backyard barbecue in Season 7. Stepping into Brie’s bedroom, Allen is quick to bring up Brie’s love triangle with Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) and Mike (Marco Grazzini). “I actually can’t...

Netflix sure is milking Mel & Jack’s upcoming nuptials in its promo campaign for Season 6, set against the backdrop of the couple’s spring wedding season. After the first teaser, which largely recapped the duo’s love story over the first five seasons, ended with a glimpse at the bottom of Mel’s wedding dress, the full trailer released today features footage from the new season but even less of Mel’s gown, with an over-the-shoulder shot as the only peek.

The mystery carries over to the key art, also released today, which provides the best shot so far at the wedding dress, with the long veil, blown by the wind, strategically blocking full view. (See it below)

With the early renewal, Virgin River becomes Netflix’s longest-running current original scripted series as well as the longest-running English-language drama series in the streamer’s history.

Just in time for Christmas — the sixth season of Virgin River is set to premiere Dec. 19. And it’s not one of those half-season drops that Netflix has been doing a lot of lately — all 10 episodes of Season 6 will be available that day.

That is slightly ahead of schedule — Netflix at the start of February unveiled its 2024 original slate, and Virgin River, along with a slew of other fan favorites, like Stranger Things, Ginny & Georgia and Wednesday, were not on the list, pointing to a 2025 return.

However, nothing is set in stone — Virgin River is the second series originally eyed for 2025 that will be back sooner than anticipated. The other is The Lincoln Lawyer, whose third season was delivered early and will debute Oct. 17.

Meanwhile, a series that was on Netflix’s 2024 release list, Season 2 of breakout hit The Night Agent, is yet to get a premiere date.

Virgin River Season 6 is on the horizon, and Benjamin Hollingsworth is giving fans some major tidbits to hold us all over until the show returns. The highly-anticipated sixth season, which is filming now, will be getting steamy. “We were read the riot act by Netflix about spoilers. I think I can say that we’ve definitely turned up the heat in Season 6,” Hollingsworth tells TV Insider. “I think all characters can fall under this umbrella. After watching Season 6, you might need a cold shower. I can say that without giving too much away.” The actor, who plays the brooding Brady, also reveals that there will be even “more Mel and Jack” in the upcoming season. “I’m going to cryptically say this: I think people will be very happy with how the show is returning to its roots of the relationship-driven show,” Hollingsworth adds. But what about Brie (Zibby Allen) and Brady?...

Virgin River fans are in for a long wait. Netflix has revealed its 2024 TV slate, and unfortunately, the romantic drama is nowhere to be found. Season 6 of the show probably won’t arrive on the streamer until 2025.

On Jan. 31, Netflix shared details about what’s coming to the streaming service in 2024.

The coming months will see the return of established shows like Bridgerton, Emily in Paris, The Diplomat, and Squid Game. Plus, subscribers can look forward to new series such as 3 Body Problem, Ripley, and A Man in Full.

Spoilers are ahead for Virgin River season 5, part 2.

Mel's biological father, Everett, has urgent news for her in Virgin River season 6, which will probably have many lasting impacts. Doc's role as a surrogate father to Mel will be impacted by Everett's presence. There are hints that Brady and Brie may get back together in the upcoming season.

Although Netflix officially greenlit Virgin River season 6 awhile ago, viewers' wish lists of what they want to see unfold in the new outing are growing longer by the minute, especially in the wake of Virgin River season 5, part 2. While the Christmas-themed episodes certainly answered a few burning questions, the two-part special teased several more plotlines for the romantic drama's upcoming installment. In Virgin River season 5, part 2's ending, viewers learn that Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) does have a bioparent who's alive and well. Known as "Champ," Virgin River's Everett is Mel's biological father,...

Overall, Virgin River's romances are full of sweet moments and see tons of compelling characters finding their other half.

Known for its sizzling relationships, Virgin River's current romances are full of both sweetness and drama — and some are, admittedly, better than others. Based on the Virgin River novels by Robyn Carr, the Netflix series follows Melinda "Mel" Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), a Los Angeles-based nurse practitioner who moves to the titular Northern California town for a change of scenery. Hoping the remote Virgin River will help her leave painful memories behind, Mel takes up midwifery. However, small-town life isn't without its own drama,...

Following a dramatic and intense season five of Netflix’s Virgin River, Alexandra Breckenridge was more than excited to take on the light-hearted holiday episodes that close out the two-part season.

This 12-episode season — which released its first 10 episodes on Sept. 7 — saw new relationships forming for several characters, Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth) and Brie’s (Zibby Allen) shocking breakup, a wildfire that threatened the entire town, Brie’s difficult court trial for her sexual assault case and Jack (Martin Henderson) finding out his business is at the center of an illegal drug business.

But Breckenridge’s character Mel faced her own battles, including the emotional toll of suffering a miscarriage, which she says was “really difficult” and “very draining” to film.

Then, to add to the drama, Mel finds out in the part one finale that her biological father lives in Virgin River, of all places. Breckenridge recalled talking...

Things are about to get pretty complicated for Brady on Virgin River. The town’s resident bad boy seems to have turned a corner in his new relationship with single mom Lark. But she’s hiding a big secret, which was revealed in the final moments of the Virgin River Christmas episodes, which dropped Nov. 30 on Netflix.

After Brady’s (Ben Hollingsworth) romance with Brie (Zibby Allen) fizzled out, he rebounded with Lark (Elise Gatien). She’s a single mom who had to be evacuated from her camp during the wildfire earlier in season 5. Brady rescued her daughter Hazel (Ava Anton) from the blaze, and soon, he and Lark developed a friendship and, eventually, a romantic connection.

Get ready to celebrate Christmas in Virgin River. The show’s first-ever holiday special is coming to Netflix in November. The two-part season 5 finale will feature plenty of seasonal cheer. But hopefully, it will also answer some of the many burning questions we had at the end of Part 1, from what the unexpected reappearance of a certain character could mean for Charmaine to how Preacher will cope with the possible discovery of Wes’s body.

Keep reading for five questions we’re hoping are answered when Virgin River Season 5 Part 2 drops Nov. 30 on Netflix.

Brady (Ben Hollingsworth) and Brie’s (Zibby Allen) hot-and-heavy romance has flamed out, and by the end of Virgin River Season 5 Part 1, both were moving on with new partners. But is it really over? In a teaser (via Instagram) for the Christmas episodes,...

The longest-gestating baby in TV history may be about to make its debut. A teaser for the Virgin River Season 5 Christmas special shows Charmaine going into labor with her twins, suggesting she’s finally about to give birth after announcing her pregnancy way back in season 1.

On Nov. 2, the official Virgin River Instagram account shared a trailer for the Netflix show’s upcoming two-episode Christmas special, which hits the streamer on Nov. 30. The clip features plenty of holiday goodness, including an intensely competitive Christmas tree decorating competition. There’s also a big moment for Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), who goes into labor with Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) by her side.

“Listen to me,” Mel tells the nervous mom-to-be. “You’re going to be fine. Are you ready to do this?...

Just like family! Virgin River Season 5 recently dropped on Netflix, and the new episodes had us wondering if the cast is as close in real life as they are on screen. Well, when it comes to series stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, the answer is yes.

Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson are friends in real life

Breckenridge and Henderson play fan-favorite couple Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan in Virgin River. While the pair have a serious romance on-screen, in real life, the two actors are not a couple. However, they are good friends.

“I’m really good friends with Zibby Allen [who plays Jack’s sister Brie Sheridan], and Martin [Henderson],” Breckenridge revealed in an interview with The List. “Those are my two closest. They’re my friends; they’re my people.”

It’s not unusual for Henderson to share videos of himself and Breckenridge goofing around on set on Instagram. He’s also called his Virgin River...

That was a twist we didn’t see coming. Virgin River Season 5 ended on a major cliffhanger with the unexpected reappearance of a character everyone assumed was dead. His jaw-dropping reappearance is sure to change things for everyone in Virgin River. But one character in particular has reason to be wary of his return.

Who is Calvin on ‘Virgin River’?

The latest Virgin River shocker came at the end of season 5’s 10th episode. A very pregnant Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) was attending the town’s Labor Day festival. As she was leaving the event, a man approached her.

“I thought you were dead,” she says as we see that the strange man is Calvin (David Cubitt).

“Yeah, so did the person who tried to kill me,” he replies. “I don’t have to hide from her anymore.”

Calvin, in case you forgot, was Virgin River’s resident drug kingpin.

An idyllic setting, charming cast, and sweet love story are often the ingredients needed for a good comfort watch. The desire to escape everyday pressures since the pandemic has seen viewers like myself going back to old favorites such as Gilmore Girls or finding something newer like Virgin River, currently streaming its fifth season on Netflix.

With each season reaching Netflix’s top ten, Virgin River has capitalized on fan’s love of Robyn Carr’s 21-book-long series of the same name and our increasing impulse to find new shows that don’t require too much of our attention. Virgin River is precisely that as it lacks terror-inducing Jaws music and instead provides Hallmark-esque vibes with the added dash of danger from the illegal drug trade surrounding the town.

The series follows nurse practitioner Melinda “Mel” Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), who moves to the remote California town of Virgin River to...

Spoiler Alert: The story includes details about Episodes 505 and 506 of Netflix’s Virgin River.

Virgin River‘s seasons are typically built around three tentpoles, the season premiere, the finale and a big event episode in the middle that propels the storytelling with plenty of aftermath to deal with in the remaining episodes. Big town events in the mid-run episodes have included the Moonlight Mingle dance in Season 1, the Lumberjack Games in Season 3 and the Renaissance Fair in Season 4. In Season 5, which marked the first for the hit Netflix series with new showrunner Patrick Sean Smith at the helm, a wildfire threatening the town of Virgin River. Because of the scope, it took two episodes — 5 and 6 — to deal with the natural disaster and its immediate aftermath.

During the episodes, still reeling from being ousted as the town’s mayor, Hope (Annette O’Toole) rises to the challenge and leads the evacuation efforts.

Changes are coming to Virgin River, and some of them are surprising.

Most of Virgin River Season 5 Episode 1 caught us up with where things left off during Virgin River Season 4 Episode 10 and eased us into some of the new conflicts and plots we can expect for the season.

One of the most prominent takeaways from the premiere is that Melissa Montgomery is here to disrupt Virgin River's quiet world and all the people within it.

If the hour didn't set anything else up, they touched on how many conflicts would arise because of Melissa's plans and actions and, sadly, because of how Brady and others may get tangled up in her web.

We also saw some new faces arriving, familiar ones departing, and some shake-ups.

Surprisingly, we breezed past those tense final moments of the season four finale that saw Jack learning the shocking truth that he was not the twins' father.
