Fans Already Figured Out Virgin River Season 5 Biggest Plot Twists
It looks like the trailer revealed a little too much.
Netflix's Virgin River began its run in 2019 a bit slowly, painting a picture of a quiet Northern California town without any major plot twists, gradually immersing viewers in the cozy atmosphere of the ideal community. However, with each passing year, the stakes got higher and higher, with elements of crime entering the show and making it much more exciting than ever before.
And it looks like the upcoming Season 5 is set to be the darkest chapter of Virgin River yet.
Thanks to the recently released trailer, people realized that the writers are trying to raise the stakes in a significant way, putting a lot of characters in grave danger. And while the sight of Brady with a bloody head scared fans the most, as they suspected that the divisive character might be killed off in future episodes, other predictions also have the fandom worried.
First, people are concerned about a huge fire coming to Virgin River, and the trailer actually suggests that it might not be natural. Some fans are sure that Nick's sister is responsible for setting the forest on fire for some twisted reason, and if that turns out to be true, Season 5 will surely be the most gripping part of the hit melodrama.
Also, after seeing the trailer, most fans agree that Mel will finally quit her job at the clinic because of her complicated pregnancy. Even though viewers are heartbroken about it, it would be quite interesting to see Mel without work for the first time during the show.

'I'm still hopeful that Mel is going to continue to work in some capacity at the clinic. I love her and Doc's working relationship, but it makes so much sense when she said she needs to prioritize her high-risk pregnancy. She would never forgive herself if something happens,' one fan noted.
And finally, it looks like John 'Preacher' Middleton will finally have a new romantic interest. That's great development for the character, which also makes viewers happy because this means Paige will probably be out of the story for good.
Virgin River Season 5 Part 1 will be released on Netflix on September 7, and the second part will premiere on November 30.
