For the past few years, Virgin River fans have been able to count on Netflix to drop a new season of the hit series during the month of July as the perfect summer treat. However, it seems Netflix is shaking things up with Virgin River season 5… and not in a good way.
While many fans had anticipated season 5 would arrive sometime this July, Netflix has confirmed the series will not be returning as part of its summer lineup this year as many assumed. This means fans will have to wait until later this year for the next season to arrive.
The bad news is that season 5 won’t be arriving this summer. The good news is season 5 is still on track to release this year, just later than expected.
Virgin River season 5 release date updates
In a surprise move, Netlfix has announced that Virgin River season 5 will be released in Fall 2023 which rulers out the show’s return in July and will make the wait for a new season longer than expected. The news was confirmed by Netflix during its first-ever Upfront presentation on Could 17, wherein the community introduced the collection can be returning as a part of its fall programming block as an alternative of throughout its summer time slate.
No launch date was offered in asserting the present’s return within the fall. Nonetheless, it’s possible followers should wait till at the very least late September for the present’s fifth season to reach, although now we have a sense the present’s return could be later than that.
Previous to shifting to the summer time, Virgin River‘s first two seasons debuted within the remaining months of the 12 months with season 1 premiere in December 2019 and season 2 premiering in November 2020. Ought to Netlfix take an analogous strategy, it’s attainable the present would possibly return to November’s lineup and launch across the Thanksgiving vacation much like what we noticed with season 2.
In fact, we must always get an official replace on the season’s actual launch date someday later this 12 months, however one factor that’s sure is followers shouldn’t anticipate the brand new season to reach throughout the summer time.
And whereas we would have to attend longer than anticipated for Virgin River season 5, the excellent news is that the present has already been renewed for season 6!
