The new series will pick up from where season four left off and is likely to focus on Jack and Mel's upcoming wedding plans following their engagement.

I don't know if that will continue but it certainly is something that the town gets to all come together and be part of and work together."
Alexandra also teased the new episodes in a previous interview with New Beauty, revealing that viewers are in for a season unlike any other. "I think this season has started out well and we're getting into a few episodes soon that are pretty heavy," she told the publication during filming.
"They're really intense and I think that they're some of the best episodes we've ever done," she continued. "I never say that either! I think that there's a high sense of drama that starts to come up this season that it's going to leave people on the edge of their seats. At least, I hope. I'm excited to get into that."
