Virgin River season 4: Here’s the full scoop on the new episodes

It’s time to return to Virgin River! As we near the premiere of Virgin River season 4, fans are gearing up to learn the answers of some those long-simmering questions and the biggest cliffhangers from the shocking season 3 finale.

Virgin River season 3 hit Netflix in July 2021 and left us on the edge of our seats as Mel confessed to Jack that she’s pregnant and isn’t sure if he’s the father. What?! Elsewhere, Hope’s fate hung in the balance, and Brady took the fall for shooting Jack. There’s so much to untangle.

Here’s all of the details you need to know before diving into the fourth season of the hit Netflix romantic drama Virgin River, including a refresher, the synopsis, cast, and more!

Virgin River season 3 recap

When we last left Mel and Jack in Virgin River season 3, Jack had planned to propose to Mel. However, she had some important information to share with him: She’s pregnant! Not only is she pregnant, but the baby might not be his.

See, while visiting her sister in her old home of Los Angeles, Mel decided to use the embryos she shared with her late husband Mark for a round of IVF. Seemingly, the procedure was successful, but sure can’t be sure given the proximity of her relationship with Jack.

Virgin River season 3’s finale also found Hope in a coma after getting in a car accident on the way home from South Carolina for Lilly’s funeral. But Hope’s fate was revealed before season 4. Another huge thing we’re waiting to see is who really shot Jack because it might not be Brady.

What is Virgin River season 4 about?

Knowing where the third season ends with so many questions, we can assume what will happen in the fourth season. But Netflix has revealed exactly what’s going to happen this season, with teases of a new doctor and a long-awaited character return.

Check out the official season 4 synopsis via Netflix:

"Despite not knowing whether her baby belongs to her deceased husband, Mark or Jack, Mel begins Season Four with a sense of optimism. For years she yearned to be a mother and her dream is one step closer to reality. While Jack is supportive and excited, the question of paternity continues to gnaw at him. Complicating matters is the arrival of a handsome new doctor, who’s in the market to start a family of his own. Hope is still healing from her car accident, and the lingering psychological effects of her brain injury will have profound consequences for both her and Doc. Brie, intent on proving the innocence of the man she loves, unexpectedly finds herself in a closer relationship with Mike and one step closer to Calvin’s violent criminal web. Even as Preacher forges a new romantic connection, he can’t help but hold out hope for being reunited with Christopher and Paige."
