Virgin River on Netflix is like receiving a warm hug: It’s the perfect homey drama to curl up with, with small-town trappings reminiscent of Gilmore Girls and Friday Night Lights, and an unforgettable ensemble of characters.

Fans are in agreement: Even though Netflix does not divulge viewing data, Virgin River is successful enough that it was discreetly extended for a fourth season even before the release of Virgin River season 3(opens in new tab) on July 9, 2021.

The show’s fourth season will premiere one year after the third, on July 20, 2022, and the fifth season will begin filming this summer.

It’s hardly surprising that Netflix has high aspirations for Virgin River’s long-term success, given that the show is based on the Virgin River book series by Robyn Carr(opens in new tab), which contains 25 books.

Not to mention, season three soared to the top of the Netflix charts almost instantly, attracting over 1.4 million viewers in its first week, according to Nielson; at the end of its first month on Netflix, it had become the most-watched content in the country (opens in new tab). Due to the high demand, Netflix immediately approved more episodes for the fourth season, bringing the total number of episodes to 12 instead of the customary 10.

So, with Season 4 on the horizon, what do we know so far? Will Annette O’Toole’s character Hope make it? (a new tab will open) What is the situation with Mel’s baby? (a new tab will open) Will Charmaine be able to have her twins at long last? Isn’t it true that we’re finally going to find out who shot Jack? Let’s get started.

Virgin River Season 4 Release Date

Netflix announced the release date for Virgin River season 4 in mid-May: July 20, 2022. Season four filming was completed by the end of 2021.

Netflix has also provided a summary for the upcoming season: “Even though she has no idea whether her baby belongs to her deceased husband, Mark, or Jack, [Mel] is hopeful. She’d wished to be a mother for years, and now she’s one step closer to realizing her goal. While Jack is enthusiastic and supportive, the issue of paternity continues to bother him “It is written. (Is there a love triangle here? Isn’t Jack tired of it yet?!)

“The appearance of a dashing new doctor, who’s in the market to create a family of his own, complicates matters,” the description reads. “Hope is still recovering from her car accident, and the psychological implications of her brain injury will have a significant impact on her and Doc.

Brie, determined to prove the innocence of the man she loves, finds herself in an unexpectedly close connection with Mike, bringing her closer to Calvin’s vicious criminal web. The preacher can’t help but dream of a reunion with Christopher and Paige, even as he forms a new romantic bond.”

Virgin River Season 4 Cast

Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack (Martin Henderson), John (Colin Lawrence), Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley), Doc (Tim Matheson), Hope (Annette O’Toole), Brady (Benjamin Hollingsworth), Brie (Zibby Allen), Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), and Ricky (Grayson Gurnsey) are among the cast members who are expected to return.

Unfortunately, Lilly (Lynda Boyd) died of pancreatic cancer in season three, although Boyd has indicated that talks regarding bringing her character back for season four have taken place.

“They said the intention was to bring me back in flashbacks – like Mel’s husband, her dead husband,” she claimed of her meeting with the producers that day (via Radio Times).

Will Hope Be in Season 4?

Annette O’Toole, who plays the town’s mayor, Hope, who was (and will be again) married to the local doctor, Doc Mullins, was oddly absent from the whole third season. Apart from video chat, Hope’s absence in season three was due to COVID-19 filming constraints, as she was unable to go to Vancouver to film with the rest of the cast. But don’t panic, both O’Toole and Hope will return for Virgin River’s fourth season (phew).

Hope will survive her automobile crash at the end of season three, according to (opens in new tab)EW(opens in new tab). “We are making progress. It’s about her recovery and what she’s going through—a traumatic brain injury—to us.”

Also, if you can believe it, Hope and Muriel may become friends in season four. According to EW, Tenney said: “Muriel and Hope’s connection is the more enjoyable. It begins with a strong adversarial tone… You’ll notice occasions coming up in the slow burn category that will open up that relationship.”

Virgin River Season 4 Plot

There will be spoilers ahead. Season three of Virgin River ended on a cliffhanger for many of the characters, including Preacher, who was poisoned by a former friend of Paige’s to get him out of the way as part of a plot to kidnap Christopher, and of course, Mel and Jack, (opens in new tab)who are dealing with the fallout of Mel’s pregnancy, but they don’t know if the father is Jack or her late ex-husband Mark. Meanwhile, after learning that Ricky was enlisting,

Lizzie broke up with him and went back to her slimy ex-boyfriend; Brady was arrested as a suspect in Jack’s shooting after a similar gun was discovered in his car; Charmaine and Todd threatened Jack with an explosive custody battle over the twins; and, course, Hope is in the hospital with a brain injury after a car accident.

Martin Henderson (Jack) told The Digital Fix, “Season four reveals and answers all the questions, but then introduces some more.”

There will be a slew of new storylines in the coming season, however, the previous season established several arcs: We’ll almost certainly see Ricky decide whether or not to enlist, and if he does, he’ll likely leave Virgin River—and Lizzie—behind.

Mel and Jack will face the unknowns of her pregnancy and decide whether or not they can make it work (for your peace of mind, the actors portraying them have stated emphatically that they will(opens in new tab)).

After missing the entire third season, we’re likely to see Paige again, and maybe she’ll be reunited with Christopher. Charmaine will give birth to twins, and there will very certainly be a fight between her and Todd, as well as Jack, her children’s biological father. And, since we’re on the subject of Jack, we’ll finally find out who shot him.

Tenney told TV Insider that season four will be a roller coaster from the opening minute. “When Season 4 premieres, there will be a significant bombshell that puts certain people in peril,” she teased. (As if Preacher wasn’t already in danger!)
