Robyn Carr's beloved TV series adaptation of the popular novel is returning, and for Netflix's audience Virgin River season 6 is indeed a big deal. Even though the previous season ended positively by wrapping up the storyline so far in an emotional Christmas-themed finale, there are still several unresolved plot points.

Where Mel's biological father's revelation, the mystery behind Wes Logan's body, and Calvin's return were some of the major highlights in season 5, the sixth installment is expected to explore the fallout from these events and dive deeper.
