In early September, the fifth season of Virgin River hit Netflix and audiences were once more charmed by the small town and its inhabitants. And it's got everything: surprising new relationships, a heart-breaking goodbye and one hell of a wildfire – literally.

Mel and Jack still have two very special episodes left in season 5: the holiday episodes! Those are going to drop on November 30, so get ready to cuddle up on the couch and enjoy the festivities of Virgin River's Christmas tree decorating contest.

And in best holiday spirit, there are even better news: Virgin River will get season 6! Netflix already confirmed that the drama is going to continue, and we've got everything you need to know about it.

Virgin River Season 6: Yes, It's Happening

If you're not caught up on season 5, kindly click away – there are spoilers ahead.

Season 6 will happen and it better happen fast – there are so many things left unanswered in season 5, it's hard to be patient. Sure, we still have the Christmas episodes not too far ahead, but chances are that the holiday episodes won't clear up all of the drama that's happening.

Can't hurt to watch the trailer for those, though:

Mel, Jack, and the other locals of Virgin River will have to deal with more traumatic experiences than ever in season 6. Not only the wildfire left the town devastated, Mel and Jack have suffered an immense loss with their miscarriage.

On top of that, there's the whole mess with Charmaine's twins – it's not Jack who's the father, but drug lord Calvin. He survived the boat explosion and is now ready to be in the kids' lives. Not sure if that's a good thing or not...

And all of these issues are not even half of what Virgin River as a whole has to face in season 6. But for now, it's Christmas time in town, and the holiday season is always packed with drama. Maybe it's finally time to find out who Mel's father is.

Until then, let writer and producer Richard Keith's words be comfort: “Yes, the characters do go through some pretty terrible things, but there's always a happy ending.” I sure hope so.
