Wedding bells are set to ring in the fictional town of Virgin River as Netflix celebrates the launch of Season 6. On December 18, a day before the new season's official release, Netflix’s companion site, Tudum, hosted an exclusive virtual fan event. The event was led by actor and content creator Mari Takahashi and featured an early screening of the Season 6 premiere along with trivia and a Q&A session. Stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Colin Lawrence, and Zibby Allen participated in the Q&A.
The event drew thousands of fans globally from countries such as the US, Canada, France, Madagascar, Nigeria, and Turkey. Attendees had RSVP'd through a wedding-themed website dedicated to Mel and Jack's anticipated nuptials on the show. Fans were encouraged to take virtual photos during the event which culminated in a digital "quilt" that attendees could share online.
With all episodes of Season 6 now available for streaming on Netflix, viewers can explore Tudum's comprehensive guide for insights into Mel and Jack’s wedding storyline. This includes information on what to expect this season—such as flashbacks—and details about where the story picks up following last season’s Christmas episodes.
Additional content from Tudum includes insights into "A Virgin River Christmas Mobile Game," offering fans an immersive experience in a festively decorated Virgin River. The guide also provides details about Mel and Jack’s wedding day including venue specifics and dress code.
Fans can also explore character updates with Tudum's Virgin River Cast Guide or watch sneak peeks like those shared by stars Martin Henderson and showrunner Patrick Sean Smith.
For post-viewing engagement, Tudum offers various features such as videos of cast members reading positive fan comments or behind-the-scenes looks at how Mel and Jack's wedding episode was crafted. There's also a location guide for enthusiasts interested in visiting British Columbia filming sites.
Season 6 concludes with revelations about characters’ futures after their long-awaited marriage vows. Showrunner Smith discusses potential developments for future episodes as it has been confirmed that Virgin River will return for a seventh season.
All six seasons are currently available on Netflix.
