Spoilers for season 6 ahead.

Oh, Mel and Jack finally found their happy ending, or did they?

The sixth season of the Netflix romantic drama “Virgin River” was released on Thursday and not only gave viewers a lot of emotions, but also ended in true series style with several cliffhangers.

The new season begins a few months after the Christmas-themed episodes of season five, as Virgin River comes together to celebrate the season’s most anticipated event: Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack’s (Martin Henderson) wedding. Netflix promised that the season, set “against the backdrop of Mel and Jack’s romantic spring wedding season,” would be full of “fresh twists, escalating love triangles (and) delightful wedding drama.”

Review of season 6

Much of the final season of “Virgin River” revolved around Mel and Jack’s highly anticipated wedding and the lead-up to it. At the same time, the season also delved deeper into Mel’s relationship with her long-lost father and her parents’ past.

However, Mel and Jack’s wedding wasn’t the only thing that happened in the season. Doc’s medical license has been suspended and his clinic is under the control of the California State Medical Board after a malpractice case was opened against him. Brie found herself in a love triangle between Mike and Brady after Mike popped the question and Brady told her that he couldn’t love anyone the way he loved her.

Meanwhile, the season ended on a major cliffhanger as Jack checks on his ex-girlfriend and local hairdresser Charmaine after she failed to show up at the wedding. Charmaine was threatened by her baby daddy Calvin and wanted to get a restraining order against him. At the end of the finale, Jack enters her house to find that it has been ransacked and she and the babies may be missing.

“Virgin River” is based on the novels of the same name by Robyn Carr and premiered on Netflix in 2019. It was developed by Sue Tenney, who served as showrunner until Smith took over in Season 5.

With so much left unanswered, here’s what we know so far about Virgin River Season 7, including its release date, cast and trailer.

Will there be a season 7 of “Virgin River”?

Yes. Netflix announced on December 5 that “Virgin River” had been renewed for Season 7.

“There’s a lot more to come with these characters,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Tudum.

What will happen in “Virgin River” season 7?

“Virgin River” will pick up where Season 6 ended, “about two hours later,” Smith told Deadline, adding that there will be no “time jump” this time.

Smith promises that Charmaine’s babies are safe and that Season 7 will be “more about characters reacting to the circumstances arising from the cliffhanger brought back into our story.”

Although there are several couples in the series, Smith says it’s unlikely there will be more weddings.

“We’re a little married after season six, but it felt like with weddings the idea sometimes finds its way to couples, and so it felt more like a way to bring our supporting characters into the event itself through them “Assessing or reassessing their own relationship to marriage as an individual or couple,” Smith told Deadline.

While viewers shouldn’t expect any weddings, Smith says he can “guarantee at least one baby in Season 7, possibly even two.” In the season finale, Marley asked Mel to adopt her unborn baby after a local couple promised to do so to adopt a child, resigned.

O’Toole, meanwhile, told USA TODAY she’s excited to see where Smith takes the season, especially given her role and that of Doc, with the clinic’s future now uncertain.

“I haven’t spoken to Sean about next season’s storylines yet,” O’Toole told USA TODAY. “Actually, I know just as much as you.”

However, she added that she “applause” the makers for incorporating current events into the storylines.

“I think that’s really smart of them,” O’Toole said. All this healthcare stuff and the big corporations taking over private doctor’s offices, that’s what’s happening. So I know Sean wants to pursue that. Tell real-life storylines and set them in the world of Virgin River. I welcome that. I’m all for it. I hope they really explore that (but) I don’t know how deeply they’ll delve into it.

Smith told Deadline he was “curious to see a little of the current state of medical care and our reality come into the world of ‘Virgin River.’
