Meanwhile, excitement for Virgin River season five is building nicely. While Netflix has yet to officially confirm when new episodes will land on the streaming platform, both Martin and Alexandra have shared their predictions for when it'll land.
Posting previously on social media, both stars said they expected season five to arrive on Netflix in July. Addressing his followers in a video shared on Cameo, Martin said: "Virgin River season five coming out, I think, probably in July. So not long now, a few months. Another installment of hot, steamy gossip and intrigue on the river."

What will Virgin River season five be about?
The new episodes are sure to pick up exactly where season four left off and will no doubt focus on many storylines that need wrapping up. Season five will likely focus on Mel and Jack's upcoming wedding following their engagement. The new episodes will also deal with an "important" and "timely" issue that brings the community together in "a big way", according to Hope McCrea actress Annette O'Toole.
"I don't think we've ever done anything like this," she said. "It's an important issue and I'm glad that we're getting into things like that on the show. 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."
