The show's sixth season is mostly focused on the themes of love, family, and a new start that features the wedding of Mel and Jack right at the centre of it all. In case you wonder who brings this world to life, the response is fairly straightforward and it is a cast that seems like real people in a town that you might actually be familiar with.

Some of the people in Virgin River Season 6 cast are characters with whom we have already shared a lot and whom we love, while a few new characters who are the reasons for the change in season come along.

All of them, thus, are the main characters in the plot through weddings, secrets, babies, and injuries that, unfortunately, would not want to stay buried.

Season 6 jumps a few months ahead into spring, a time of growth and change. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Tudum that,

“Babies and wedding bells are never off the table on Virgin River.”

This alone explains the vibe of this season. Hopeful, emotional, and very true to the soul of Virgin River.
