'Virgin River' Prequel Series About Mel's Parents in the Works at Netflix
ET can confirm that a spinoff series, focusing on the past love story between Mel's parents, is currently in development.
As fans discovered in the show's two-part Christmas special, which was released last November, Mel's father is no longer a mystery -- in fact, he was from Virgin River himself. While season 6 -- which kicked off production on Thursday -- will likely give us that answer, more about Everett and Sarah's love story will be explored in the as-yet-untitled prequel series. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith shared more about Virgin River's plans to explore the past in a Deadline Q&A last fall.
