As spring arrives in “Virgin River,” Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) are gearing up for their wedding. After five seasons brimming with romance and challenges, the couple is finally ready to exchange vows in the sixth season of Netflix’s romantic drama.

Hope McRae, the town’s mayor and self-proclaimed event planner (played by Annette O’Toole), is taking charge of the wedding preparations, turning it into the town’s grand event.

Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith mentioned to Netflix’s Tudum that the season will showcase all the pre-wedding festivities, including the engagement parties and rehearsal dinners.

The new season will take off a few months after the Christmas-themed episodes of Season 5. Friends and townsfolk will come together to mark this momentous occasion, which Netflix describes as set against the magical atmosphere of Mel and Jack’s spring wedding. Expect plenty of unexpected turns, evolving love triangles, and entertaining wedding dramas. Plus, viewers will get a glimpse into the “magic and mystique” of Virgin River during the 1970s as secrets about Mel’s family history emerge.
