How many episodes are in Virgin River season 5?

This fall, Virgin River finally returns with a new season full of drama, plot twists, and heartwarming moments. It’s been a longer wait than usual for Virgin River season 5, but it will be well worth all the months wondering what happens next.

Since season 4 premiered in the summer of 2022, Virgin River fans have been reeling over the revelation that Jack isn’t the real father of Charmaine’s twins. That’s just one bomb that was dropped last season that the characters will have to deal with in season 5. Meanwhile, fans will have additional questions regarding the season’s episode count.

When Netflix announced the release date for Virgin River season 5, there was a bit of a twist as far as the release schedule is concerned. Fans of the series are used to getting the full season at once, but that won’t be happening this time around. Here’s the episode count and release dates for season 5.

How many episodes are in Virgin River season 5?

As with the fourth season, Virgin River season 5 contains a total of 12 episodes. However, unlike previous seasons, the fifth season will be released in two parts, and that’s actually good news. We’re finally going to celebrate the holiday season with our favorite characters.

On Sept. 7, Netflix releases 10 episodes of season 5, which technically makes up the first “part” of the season. When it comes to season splits on Netflix, the streamer historically splits them down the middle. But not this time. On Nov. 30, Virgin River returns with the two remaining episodes of season 5. These episodes are holiday episodes.
