Virgin River season 5

09/15/23 UPDATE: The fifth season is split up into two batches. The first batch of episodes dropped on Sept. 7, and the second and final batch will be released on Nov. 30. 

Virgin River is one of those feel-good series you watch with a group of friends. It’s about a nurse practitioner who moves to a remote town in Northern California for a fresh start after the death of her husband. But once she arrives, she becomes startled by the welcome she receives from the townspeople.

There have been four seasons released so far and each season has fared well on the streamer. Fortunately, we didn’t have to worry about the show being renewed for a fifth season since it was already confirmed. Back in September 2021, Netflix gave the romantic drama series a two-season renewal. The fourth season premiered on July 20, 2022. Now, everyone’s waiting on Virgin River season 5.

Principal photography on the fifth season wrapped on Nov. 21, so now the show is in post-production. Fortunately, we have an official release date now. Virgin River season 5 will be coming to Netflix on Thursday, Sept. 7.

We initially predicted that we’d see Virgin River season 5 in the summer, so it looks like our prediction was right. We had based our release prediction on when the past two seasons arrived on the streamer which was in the summer.

Fortunately, we haven’t seen the last of the romantic drama series because it’s been renewed for a sixth season.
