Fans of the hit Netflix series Virgin River have been eagerly awaiting news on the release date of season 5, and we’ve got the latest scoop! The show, which has drawn comparisons to classic small-town dramas like Friday Night Lights and Dawson’s Creek, has been renewed for both seasons 4 and 5. With the fourth season now available for streaming, many are wondering what to expect from the next installment.

The good news is that filming for season 5 of Virgin River has officially wrapped, as confirmed by the show’s official Instagram account. The bad news, however, is that the start of filming was delayed by four months, pushing the expected release date back as well. In a conversation with Glamour, Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) revealed that the fifth season was initially set to begin shooting in March 2022 but was pushed back to July 2022.

Tentative Release Date

With previous seasons of Virgin River released in July 2021 and 2022, fans can expect Season 5 to follow the same pattern, tentatively premiering in July 2023, a year after the release of season 4. Lead actors Martin Henderson and Alexandra Breckenridge have both hinted at this release date in separate interviews.

Fans can expect season 5 to arrive on Netflix around July 2023, a year after the release of season 4. This prediction is backed by Martin Henderson (Jack), who shared in a Cameo interview that the new season would “probably” be released in July. Season 5 will also feature 12 episodes, just like season 4, which is an increase from the 10 episodes of the first three seasons.
