Virgin River prequel in development announced by Netflix as season 6 kicks off production
As season 6 gets underway, work on a Virgin River prequel has been announced.
Alexandra Breckenridge plays Mel Monroe in the well-liked Netflix romantic series.
A central theme of the long-running program, which also stars Colin Lawrence, Jenny Cooper, Lauren Hammersley, Annette O'Toole, and Tim Matheson, is her romance with local bar owner Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson).
Production on Virgin River season six has reportedly officially begun, according to Deadline.
Furthermore, Netflix has revealed that a prequel series is already in production.
The plot of the show would center on the romance between Sarah, Mel's mother, and Everett, her biological father. Should the program receive official renewal, it will be integrated with flashback scenes that are scheduled to delve into this chapter of Sarah and Everett's lives in season 6.
This possible expansion of the Virgin River roster of characters aligns with Netflix's recent programming.
With a wide range of spin-offs, the streaming service has been gradually growing the worlds of many of its most well-liked shows.
Prequels, spinoffs, tie-in games, and even the unscripted reality series Squid Game: The Challenge, an unscripted adaptation of the critically acclaimed South Korean thriller Squid Game, are examples of these.
