Virgin River season 5: trailer and pictures

The first trailer for “Virgin River” Season 5 not only gives us the usual trials and tribulations of love, but also the real danger of a forest fire. Some photos of the new episodes have also been published.

Virgin River Season 5: Storyline

In an interview with US magazine TVLine, Patrick Sean Smith has already hinted at his plans for his “Virgin River” debut as showrunner. Despite the showrunner change, Smith wants to make the transition between seasons as smooth as possible.

For this purpose, he has also dealt in detail with the characteristics of all characters, their pasts and possible future plans in advance. In this way he wants to ensure that season 5 can continue “seamlessly” and “without a time jump” from the story of the previous 4th season.

So we can be sure that there will be a lot of exciting news for Mel and Jack in Season 5. After the grand finale of Season 4, it is now clear that the child Mel is carrying is actually Jack’s and not her late husband Mark’s. The two have a daughter together.

Also, Jack and Mel are finally engaged. After Jack’s proposal at the end of season 3 was interrupted by Mel’s announcement that he was pregnant, he finally gets to propose again at the end of season 4. This time Mel accepts it too. However, since her pregnancy is a high-risk pregnancy, there could still be some tricky situations. But maybe we’ll see a wedding.

Season 5 could also be exciting between Lizzie and Denny. Ricky left Virgin River to join the Army. Meanwhile, a romance developed between Lizzie and Denny, but Denny fought it off when things got too serious. He confesses to Lizzie in the season 4 finale that he has HD and that there is no future for him.

Since Lizzie is most likely at Doc’s house very often in season 5 because she is supposed to work as a nurse for Hope, things could still crackle between Denny and her.

Preacher finally got Vince and found out that it was Vince who shot Jack. Will Preacher jail or otherwise dispose of Wes’ brother?

In the finale, Charmaine admits she lied about her twins. Jack is not the father of her unborn children. This will surely shatter the newfound friendship between Jack and Charmaine.

Virgin River Season 5: Cast and Production

We also see Alexandra Breckenridge (“American Horror Story”, “The Walking Dead”) as Melinda Monroe, Martin Henderson (“Grey’s Anatomy”) as Jack Sheridan and Tim Matheson (“Hart of Dixie”) as Vernon “Doc” Mullins.

Also Zibby Allen (“The Flash”) as Jack’s sister Brie, Colin Lawrence (“Riverdale”) as John “Preacher” Middleton, Mark Ghanimé (“Helix”) as Dr. Cameron Hayek and Kai Bradbury (“Motherland: Fort Salem”) return as Denny Cutler.

Sue Tenney has resigned as showrunner of “Virgin River” after the fourth season because she wants to devote herself to other projects after four successful seasons. Patrick Sean Smith has now been named as her successor for the new episodes.

Smith previously worked with Netflix on the anthology series Dolly Parton’s Heart Stories and is also known for his work on the teen drama series Greek. In his interview with the US magazine TVLine, Smith emphasized that he was a fan of the series beforehand. That’s why he was very excited when he was offered the job. For the new season he assures that together with the cast he will continue to deliver the best show possible.
