Season five is thought to be dropping in 2023

The fact that the series has not only wrapped up quite a few storylines and mysteries on the show - who shot Jack, for example - but has also set in motion many other storylines to conclude in season five.

However, it’s not all bad news as fans will know that the popular TV drama has been adapted from the novel series written by bestselling author, Robyn Carr. Robyn has penned over 20 books in the Virgin River collection, meaning there is plenty of potential material for future seasons.
