The trailer for Virgin River season 4 hints at a rocky patch for its central romantic couple Mel and Jack. The Netflix drama premiered in 2019 and is based on Robyn Carr's Virgin River book series, of which there are a whopping 22 novels. The series follows Melinda «Mel» Monroe, who leaves her traumatic past in Los Angeles behind and answers an ad to be a midwife in the small Northern California town where she falls in love with ex-Marine/bar owner Jack.
Netflix recently released a trailer that clears up a number of season 3 cliffhangers while also promising more drama ahead. Preacher is alive and Hope is recovering after her car accident-induced coma. But things don't look like smooth sailing for Mel and Jack's relationship, as the paternity of her child comes into question, and both Jack's estranged father and a handsome new doctor come to town, leading Jack to lean on alcohol to cope.

Virgin River has proven very successful and is part of Netflix's push for «comfort viewing» along with shows like Firefly Lane, Ginny & Georgia, and Sweet Magnolias, which are centered on the cozy vibes of small towns but with big dramatic story twists to keep viewers bingeing. Between Jack's memory loss, getting shot, his house burning down, and Mel's deceased husband and fertility problems, the couple has had to brave so much already. Another season is guaranteed to come as seasons 4 and 5 were renewed simultaneously, so fans will have plenty of time to see how Mel and Jack navigate the sometimes rough waters of Virgin River.
