Season 5 of Virgin River has been filming since the summer, and the show has made several new castings, including Kandyse McClure, What’s on Netflix can exclusively report. Season 5 of Virgin River has seen a slowdown in news since the summer, when it was reported that Sue Tenney would no longer be the showrunner, and would be replaced by Patrick Sean Smith. Kandyse McClure, the first major casting announcement of the new season, has changed that.
With her most well-known performances, such as Anastasia Dualla in Battlestar Galactica, Sue Snell in Carrie, and Sarikin in Seventh Son, McClure has amassed over 70 acting credits on IMDb.
