Virgin River season 4 has wrapped filming and is coming to Netflix in 2022 but we don’t quite know exactly when yet. Season 5 is on the way too with production scheduled to start this Summer. Here’s a rundown on everything we know so far about Virgin River season 4 including plot, production updates, cast, and more!
Editor’s note: This preview was first published in July 2021 but has been updated monthly to reflect new developments with the most recent update being in April 2022.
Quick recap before we dive into the future of the series. Virgin River is a drama series adapting the Robyn Carr series of novels. It focuses on Mel, a young midwife and nurse practitioner who moves out of the big city to a small rustic town in Northern California.
Throughout the show’s three seasons we’ve seen Mel introduced to a myriad of different people throughout the town laying down her roots. Of course, not everything has gone swimmingly with plenty of drama throughout.
Season 1 of Virgin River was first released on Netflix all the way back in December 2019 with subsequent releases in November 2020 and most recently released season 3 in July 2021.
Has Netflix Renewed Virgin River for Season 4?
Official renewal status: Officially renewed (Last updated: 07/26/2021)
On September 20th, Netflix confirmed to USAToday that season 4 was going ahead and not only that, the show would return for a season 5 at Netflix too. Multi-season orders are rare at Netflix but is a testament to the series’ popularity.
Of course, we’ve been reporting about season 4 of Virgin River existing long before the official renewal came. For the past several seasons, we’ve often heard that filming dates were scheduled before any renewal and that was once again the case for season 4.
Reacting to the news of a dual season renewal, Martin Henderson said:
“Ya. Ini terjadi. Such a relief to finally share this news with all of you who’ve been patiently waiting. Virgin River Season 4 and 5 are in the works thanks to all of you passionate fans….thank you!! so much more drama to come…”
Colin Lawrence posted on Instagram saying:
“So excited to share with you that our little show has been picked up for two seasons!!!! Thank you all for being the best fans ever!!!!!”
Best of all, Colin announced that season 4 would be even longer than previous seasons. The episode count for season 4 of Virgin River has been expanded to 12 episodes from 10.
Earlier in 2021, we reported that several production listings listed the show to be coming back for a fourth season. Better yet, we later got word that filming on season 4 was due to begin at the end of July 2021.
The show films entirely in Vancouver, Canada.
Thanks to a post from Watershed Grill on Instagram, we also knew that filming was taking place there between August 17th and 18th, 2021 (and multiple times afterward).
The Watershed Grill serves as the filming location for Jack’s bar in Virgin River.
Additional filming took place at The Watershed Grill between August 30th and September 2nd.
Filming was expected to conclude on November 30th, 2021, and thanks to posts via the Instagram page they’ve confirmed that the show has wrapped.
Much of the cast and crew received goody-bags following the conclusion of filming.
In February 2022, according to an Instagram Story (h/t HelloMagazine) Alexandra Breckenridge posted that another key part of the production process had just finished telling followers:
“I just went and finished my last ADR, for Virgin River, for those of you who dont know ADR is, I think it stands for audio digital recording,”

This process is also sometimes known as “soundpost” which means that Breckenridge likely went into an audio booth to record additional lines or even re-record some of the lines from the show in a quieter setting.

Following “SoundPost”, we usually see the show arrive at Netflix in a few months that show releases just around the corner.

Now we know that filming for season 5 is scheduled to begin in July 2022, we are currently predicting that the 4 virgin season will be on Netflix between May and August 2022.

How good is Virgin River Season 3 Do it on Netflix?
Quick extension should not be surprisingly great for the followers of the show. Both seasons 2 and 3 before being updated ahead of their season debut on Netflix. This is especially the case for season 3 which was filmed during the release of season 2.

Thanks to 10 top 10 numbers, we can see exactly why Netflix chooses to show the command of two seasons.

According to the newly released watch hours, between July 4, 2021 to August 15, the event was drawn by more than a quarter of a billion hours seen on the platform. Between the above period, 255,120,000 hours are watched on Netflix.

The show has featured in the US top 10s for 75 days in total. For season 3, the show was #1 in the United States for just over two weeks and eventually dropped out of the top 10s over a month later.

Nielsen’s top 10s also ranked the series the number 1 watched series between July 12th and July 18th with 2,109 million minutes watched during that week beating out Manifest (on Netflix) and Loki (on Disney+).

New Cast Member for the Virgin River Season 4
At the end of October 2021, Netflix announced two new characters that would display in the 4-season Virgin River.

Mark Ghanimé, who is known for his duties in Helix, will play Dr. Cameron Hayek. He was a new doctor of the Virgin River which was “armed with a good appearance, sharp intelligence, and a smile that could turn on the world, Cameron made a direct spark in the city – especially with the Virgin River women.”

Also, starring is Kai Bradbury who will play Denny Cutler who is a granddaughter who is missing old. Denny came to give a secret despite the best intention to revive the relationship with his grandfather.

One extra we will see in season 4 including Rohain Arora who will play the waiter.

When does the 4 season from Virgin River on Netflix?
With the shooting that happened so early, the means that we don’t have to wait a silly time for the new season.

With that, don’t expect the release of 2021 for the 4 season.

Instead, we are currently predicting that Virgin River 4 season must return in 2022 with it most likely in Q2-Q3 2022 (anywhere between April and July 2022).

What is expected from Virgin River Season 4
The big story Mel went to season 4 was that he was pregnant even though the real father had not been revealed. It is believed to be revealed at the end of season 4.

Brady’s future was seen in danger considering that she had been arrested for shooting Jack at the end of season 2.

We will really see the return of hope in season 4 after the famous absence in season 3. The reason why he was absent for season 3 was because it was not allowed to travel to the film but on the event it was described that he was visiting his aunt in another state. However, on the way back, he had been hospitalized after an accident in a storm when he returned to Virgin River.

Crossing to Doc Mullins (husband of hope), he will continue to fight his illness (macular degeneration) which slowly developed throughout the season 3. Sue Tenney, who served as an exhibition for the Virgin River, talking to entertainment every week about what we can expect from Hope in season 4 says:

“For us, it’s a recovery and what he faces – traumatic brain injury. At the hospital and through recovery, it wasn’t where our event stayed.

But we are very committed to what the truth is, so we will go to the edge of what the best recovery is for this.

We always stay with parameters, medically, but also we know at this point what we like, which is complicated with emotional drama-based stories. “

It has been confirmed that Lynda Boyd will return for the 4 season in the form of a flashback according to the interview with the actress.

Daniel Gillies had teased back to the show also said:

“This is what I will say, rather ingmas, the good news about being a dead husband is you can appear at any time. I will hand it over at that time.”

On the Instagram Show account, they rarely provide too many instructions about what we can expect but recently asked for advice for Jack’s special board sitting outside the restaurant.
