How Netflix’s Record-Breaking 7-Part TV Show Could Run for More Than 20 Seasons (And Be Their Biggest Show Ever)

Despite its success, Netflix’s Virgin River doesn’t quite fit the typical mold of a dark, gritty drama or a high-concept sci-fi series – it actually feels more like something you’d find on The CW. The romantic drama premiered in 2019 and quickly became a surprising hit for the streaming service. While critics weren’t overly impressed, the show built a huge and dedicated fanbase. Starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson, the series centers on Mel and Jack’s complicated relationship after Mel, a nurse practitioner with a difficult past, moves to the small town of Virgin River in Northern California hoping for a new beginning, only to discover her problems aren’t easily left behind.
