Virgin River Netflix has dropped the first trailer for the highly anticipated fifth season and it looks like we’re in for more drama, love and laughs.
The trailer reveals the show will focus on the rising climate change risks facing small towns, and Mel’s decision to step back from her career to prioritize her ‘high risk pregnancy’. It also appears that we may see a new romance for Preacher.
“Mel adjusts to a different pace of life, Jack works to grow his business, and the town faces new threats as secrets begin to surface in Virgin River,” the synopsis for the trailer reads, while fans also know that the season will see Mel’s pregnancy “unexpectedly spark an emotional connection to her past”.
Fans were quick to express their excitement as soon as the trailer dropped, taking to social media to write: “Omg!! Season 5 looks like it’s going to be one emotional rollercoaster!!! Sooo many emotions watching the trailer!!! Mel & Jack are the absolute cutest!” and: “WAKE ME UP WHEN IT’S SEPTEMBER 7TH!!” as well as: “My heart… the show, the people, all take my breath away. Trailer is intense!!” plus another fan added: “I just CAN’T WAIT!”
The excited reactions were flowing, and a fifth fan also said: “There is going to be sooo much drama this season,” with another adding: “What a powerful trailer!!! I am so excited for this season!!!”

Alexandra shared the news to fans in a video posted to her Instagram Stories, revealing that it felt “weird” to be at home in Atlanta, Georgia, rather than filming in Vancouver, Canada.
“I’m always homesick when I’m there but now my body feels like it’s supposed to be in Vancouver so it’s very bizarre,” she told fans.
“Some roses to celebrate the good news: #VirginRiver season 5 will air in the fall and we’re going to film season 6 as soon as the strike is settled. #WGAStrong!” added Annette O’Toole, who plays town mayor Hope McCrea.
