Virgin River has been officially renewed for Season 3. The series initially aired on Netflix in 2019 and just dropped Season 2 on November 27, just in time for the holiday season. The series is based on a collection of novels under the same title by Robyn Carr. While there are only two seasons of the Netflix series, there have been twenty-two Virgin River novels published since 2007.
Netflix Queue broke the news in an adorable video featuring Virgin River stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, who date in the show. The actors started the video by thanking fans and explained that their dedication is why the show got renewed for Season 3. The renewal was announced less than a month after Season 2 was released, proving how many fans indeed showed up and binged the series. Season 3 will likely pick up at Season 2's suspenseful ending that left Jack (Henderson) bleeding out after a near-fatal injury.
While many Netflix shows didn't survive the cut in 2020, including Glow, Altered Carbon, and The Society, Virgin River managed to prevail. Fans have had a mixed reaction to the renewal. Some are excited to see that one of their favorite shows already got the go-ahead for Season 3. However, others are upset that Netflix was quick to renew Virgin River while other shows have been up-in-the-air for months.
Virgin River follows Melinda "Mel" Monroe (Breckenridge,) who answers an ad to work as a midwife and nurse practitioner in the remote California town of Virgin River, thinking it will be the perfect place to start fresh and leave her painful memories behind.
