Virgin River season 5 latest release updates (February 2023)
By Reed Gaudens
Even though the likes of Stranger Things and Wednesday are the most popular Netflix shows, Virgin River has put up quite the fight as an undisputed underdog. The romantic drama series remains one of the biggest shows on the streamer, and fans are counting down the days until Virgin River season 5 proves that once again.
When we last left our favorite (and not-so-favorite) characters in the Virgin River season 4 finale, some revelations rocked the very foundation of what Mel and Jack believed to be true about their future. Charmaine’s bombshell admission will surely color what’s to come in season 5.
As much drama as were expecting to go down in the fifth season, there’s even more joy to look forward to. After all, Mel and Jack are expecting a baby girl and they’re planning a wedding. It’s everything fans have been wanting for the couple since season 1.
Netflix recently confirmed the complete list of new release movies and shows for February 2023, and Virgin River’s hotly anticipated fifth season wasn’t among those release. While the month of Valentine’s Day will be without new Virgin River, here’s when to expect the upcoming season.
Virgin River season 5 latest updates February 2023
There appears to have been a rumor of unknown origin among fans that Virgin River season 5 would come out in February 2023 on Netflix. Unfortunately, the new season of Virgin River will be coming back so soon. There’s still a bit of waiting to do for fans.
The good news is, Virgin River season 5 has wrapped production. But just because the season isn’t filming anymore, that doesn’t mean fans will be getting the episodes right away. There’s still a decent amount of work to be done on the episodes in post-production, which is a process that can take up to six months. Given filming wrapped in November 2022, the episodes could be finished by spring.
Netflix released the last two seasons of the hit romantic drama in the summer, July to be exact. It’s unlikely that the streamer will move away from this release pattern. We should expect the next season of 12 episodes to release (granted that they drop all at once) in July again or June at the very earliest.
