Netflix has amassed a growing number of Christmas Originals for 2019, but thankfully there are still some Originals left to go that are unrelated to the Holiday season. Coming to Netflix this December is romantic drama Virgin River. We have everything you need to know about Virgin River, including the plot, cast, trailer, and Netflix release date.
Virgin River is an upcoming Netflix Original drama series based on the Virgin River novels by Robyn Carr. Netflix has had a distinct lack of Hallmark-Esque programming in its line up of Originals, and considering the popularity of such titles like Heartland and Anne With an E, its surprising that Netflix hasn’t already tapped into that market. For those looking for their romance-drama fix, hopefully, Virgin River will scratch that itch.
Production of Virgin River was handled by Reel World Management, and are known for their distribution of Christmas related titles. Novelist, Robyn Carr, as the creator of Virgin River, has received a writing credit. The remaining writers were series creator Sue Tenney and Jackson Rock (Good Witch).
What is the plot of Virgin River?
The following synopsis has been provided by Deadline:
At the time of writing, it hasn’t been confirmed which of the twenty books in the Virgin River series will be covered. Considering the first book has over 400 pages alone, that’s a lot of stories for the television series to cover.
Who are the cast members of Virgin River?
The following cast members have been confirmed to star in Virgin River:
When and where did production take place for Virgin River?
The series went into production in December 2018. Principal photography began on December 3rd, 2018 and concluded on March 26th.
Filming took place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
What is the episode count for season 1?
The first season will have a total of ten episodes.
At the time of writing, Netflix has not confirmed the episode run times. Considering the time it took to film, we’d expect each episode of Virgin River to be of least an hour long.
The majority of new Originals arrive in 4K. We’d make a surefire bet that Virgin River will be available to stream in 4K.
Has Netflix released a trailer for Virgin River?
Despite the release of Virgin River being scheduled for December 6th, Netflix has yet to release a teaser or trailer.
We can expect to see the trailer drop at any time in the coming days and weeks.
Can we expect to see a second season?
According to the seasons listing on IMDb, Virgin River will be receiving a second season.
Considering the Virgin River book franchise consists of 20 books, it would make sense to see more than one season.
