‘Virgin River’ Prequel Following Mel’s Parents in Development at Netflix
Netflix is developing a 'Virgin River' prequel about Mel's parents, Sarah and Everett.
“Virgin River” follows the lives of the residents of the eponymous Northern California town, including nurse practitioner Mel (Breckenridge), bar owner and veteran Jack (Henderson), town doctor Doc (Matheson), mayor Hope (O’Toole) and many more. In a column about Season 5 of “Virgin River,” Variety critic Aramide Tinubu wrote that Netflix would be smart to expand the “Virgin River” IP, saying, the show “could easily shift focus toward other characters currently living in the same timeline as Mel and Jack, or even delve into the lore of the town’s past, giving fans a glimpse of Virgin River in the ’80s or ’90s, centering known characters like Hope and Doc in their younger years. Multiple shows would allow long-term ‘Virgin River’ actors to exit or return as needed while providing a solid platform for more book characters to make their on-screen debuts.”
