<p id=”par-1_19″>Christmas is coming early for <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/tag/virgin-river/”><em>Virgin River</em></a><em> </em>fans. Season 6 of the <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/virgin-river-stars-alexandra-breckenridge-martin-henderson-share-close-bond-real-life-not-just-on-set.html/”>romantic Netflix drama</a> returns on Dec. 19. </p>
<p id=”par-2_83″>The upcoming episodes will pick up after the events of the 2023 holiday special, where Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) discovered a shocking truth about her mom’s past. Just-released photos from the new season confirm that we’ll see younger versions of Mel’s mom and dad in flashbacks in season 6. Meanwhile, in the present day, we’ll check in with Preacher (Colin Lawrence), a very pregnant Lizzie (Sarah Dugdale), Brady (Ben Hollingsworth), and, of course, Mel and Jack (Martin Henderson), who are preparing for their wedding. </p>

<p id=”par-3_67″>In last year’s <em>Virgin River </em>Christmas special, Mel learned of her late mother Sarah’s relationship with <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/virgin-river-christmas-episodes-mels-dad.html/”>a man from Virgin River named Everett Reid</a> (John Allen Nelson). Everett is Mel’s biological father, and there’s still a lot we don’t know about his and Sarah’s relationship. Season 6 will shed more light on their past in flashbacks to the early 1970s, when they met and fell in love. </p>
<p id=”par-4_14″>Sarah will be played by Jessica Rothe. Callum Kerr plays a young Everett Reid. </p>

<p id=”par-5_63″>Mel and Jack had a <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/virgin-river-season-5-mel-jack-have-baby.html/”>rough journey in <em>Virgin River </em>Season 5</a>. A devastating miscarriage once again dashed Mel’s dreams of becoming a mother. But she and Jack are looking to the future. They’ve purchased a farm that they plan to turn into their forever home. And they’re busy planning their wedding. The hope of starting a family is also very much alive.</p>
<p id=”par-6_43″>“Babies and wedding bells are never off the table on Virgin River,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told <a href=”https://www.netflix.com/tudum/articles/virgin-river-season-6″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Netflix</a>, adding that in season 6, “Mel and Jack will advance on their path to parenthood while also turning Lilly’s farm into their ultimate dream home.” </p>

<p id=”par-7_47″>Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) may have finally given birth in season 5, but there are more <em>Virgin River </em>babies on the way.

<p id=”par-8_94″>When we last saw Brady, he was happily celebrating Christmas with his girlfriend, Lark (Elise Gatien), and her daughter. But Lark is keeping a huge secret. She’s in cahoots with Calvin’s (David Cubitt) former right-hand man Jimmy (Ian Tracey), who’s currently behind bars. What are they plotting? It’s not clear, but whatever it is, it’s not good for Brady. However, Lark’s betrayal could be good news for fans who’d like to see Brady’s romance with Brie (Zibby Allen) reignite, especially since the Christmas special made it clear they still had feelings for each other. </p>
