Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge has shared her pride over the cast and crew's hard work on the upcoming fifth series ahead of its premiere on Netflix on September 7.
In a video message posted to her Instagram Stories, the actress, who plays Mel Monroe in the series, explained that while she's not allowed to promote any of her projects due to the ongoing SAG-AFTRA strike, she is "proud" of her colleagues' work.
While she didn't explicitly reference the show, the video was posted just days before season five's release on Netflix.
Speaking to her one million Instagram followers in a video filmed from her Georgia home, she said: "I just wanted to say hi and remind everybody that because SAG-AFTRA is still on strike, I am not allowed to do any promotion for the things that I would normally be promoting at this time. It's really unfortunate. I wish I could."

"I have to see you on the other side of this and maybe we can talk about it then," she added.
The 41-year-old also reshared a post from her co-star Zibby Allen, who plays Brie Sheridan in the romance drama. Taking to her Instagram feed, Zibby shared a sweet photo of herself, Alexandra and their co-star Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan, with their arms around each other whilst out at a restaurant.

And so so proud of the insane talent, hard work, and perseverance of my fellow creatives & union members," the actress penned. "As the strike continues, thank you for your support and understanding as I continue to refrain from promoting any struck work, past/present/future, until this strike is resolved.
"In solidarity," she added, dropping the following hashtags: "#SAGAFTRAstrong #WGAstrong."
Alexandra's latest Instagram post comes after she apologized to fans for not promoting the show ahead of its fifth series, explaining that she isn't allowed to discuss anything "work-related" on social media until the strike is settled.

"So, if all y'all are trying to send me messages asking about work-related things, I can't answer you and I'm really sorry about that."
