Season six will look at the relationship between Mel’s mother and birth father, Everett Reid. The pair’s relationship will be shown in flashbacks, and their casting is ongoing.
If the reception to the storyline is positive, viewers could see a spin-off showing the romance of Elliot and Mel’s Mother. Patrick Sean Smith is writing the spin-off in its current development stage, and he spoke about what viewers will see in season six recently. He said the following about the Netflix series, per Deadline:
“What we’re exploring more in season six is who Everett Reid is, what his backstory is, what his connection to Virgin River was when he met her mom and then also what it is today.”
The premiere date for Virgin River season six will be announced later.
