She wants to leave behind her painful past and start her life fresh, so she agrees to become a midwife and nurse practitioner in a remote region. While kickstarting her new life, she faces challenges she never expected.
With Season 6 drawing to a close, fans of the show are curious about its future.
Is Virgin River Season 7 canceled or renewed by Netflix?
Netflix has renewed Virgin River for Season 7.
In a recent conversation with Tudum, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed that a Virgin River Season 7 is happening. He believes there is still more exploration with his established characters. Moreover, he details that the new season will explore Mel and Jack’s story as a married couple. It will primarily showcase their honeymoon phase, wherein they will “rebuild their lives” and experience some challenges.
He assured the viewers not to worry too much about the couple’s relationship crumbling. This is because they aren’t planning on splitting them apart, but it would make them face some obstacles in their budding relationship. “It forces you to dig a little bit deeper into, well, what other issues can they have in their relationship? Especially when you want to keep it through the romance lens. I think Alex and Martin play all of those [moments so well], it’s just resting on emotional stakes as opposed to will they, won’t they,” he explains.
Virgin River Season 6 Episode 10, titled ‘The Big Day,’ features Mel and Jack officially getting married and being graced by adoption news by Marley. She reveals that Phil and Darla, who were supposed to adopt her newborn baby, have backed out. Therefore, she requests the newly married couple to take her baby. This comes as a surprise for them as they didn’t plan parenthood this early.
The series’ ending leaves viewers on a cliffhanger, with Jack visiting Charmaine to check on her as she didn’t show up at the wedding to do Mel’s hair. Upon visiting, he sees a scattered house and hears a music box sound, leading him to the nursery. In the end, he gives a startling reaction, indicating that something bad has happened to Charmaine or the kids.
