According to the official blurb: “Against the backdrop of Mel and Jack’s romantic spring wedding season, this sixth installment promises fresh twists and turns, escalating love triangles [and] delightful wedding drama.”

Additionally, season six is set to unveil “uncovered secrets from Mel’s father’s past which will transport us to the magic and mystique of Virgin River in the 1970s.”

Though die-hard fans might have unearthed parts of the story earlier, this updated description gives us a first glimpse into what appears to be an exclusive prequel episode featured in the forthcoming season.

On top of that, Netflix has dropped the names of the actors who’ll be stepping into the roles of Mel’s parents: Jessica Rothe and Callum Kerr are confirmed to be on board.

Deadline has sparked fan excitement with reports of Netflix considering a ’70s-themed prequel to delve deeper into the romance on Virgin River.

Excited chatter has been buzzing on Reddit, with one eager beaver posting: “Now we need the date lol!”

Another Redditor chimed in: “Looks like we’re getting that spinoff, looking forward to S6, hopefully it’s coming before the end of the year.”

Yet, not all fans are thrilled about the storyline twist, as critiques surfaced with a viewer expressing disappointment: “It’s kinda really lame that as it turns out, somehow Mel’s mom and dad met in Virgin River, the very same town she, amongst literally thousands of towns in the state, picked after her husband’s death.”

They voiced further discontent, saying: “Especially given that this was never mentioned before in terms of her coming there because her mom had always talked about this town as some kind of foreshadowing etc. So it is just a bit too on the nose and soapy.”

Irrespective of the plot’s plausibility, legions of fans are still slated to flock to their screens, eagerly awaiting Mel’s dramatic encounter with her estranged father as season six kicks off.

Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix.
