Virgin River: Alexandra Breckenridge and Zibby Allen announce big news to fans
Fans of Virgin River, to be found on Netflix, learned good news on Monday, April 22 through a post on the Instagram accounts of two of the actresses in the series, Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) and Zibby Allen (Brie).
Alexandra Breckenridge has become one of the most famous actresses on the small screen in just a few years. Between her roles in the hit series Virgin River, which can be found on the Netflix streaming platform, or in This is Us, which captivated millions of viewers around the world for six seasons, the 41-year-old actress has a special place in the hearts of fans of romantic series. Older viewers will remember her appearances in cult series like Charmed, Buffy the Vampire Slayer or Dawson’s Creek. Like her character Mel in Virgin River, the actress chose to leave Los Angeles to live in Georgia with her husband Casey Hopper and their two children Jack and Billie. But the actress who imagines Mel and Jack’s wedding in the series as her own will probably have to return to Los Angeles a little more often for her new project which promises to be exciting: starting this summer, she will host a podcast with her partner Zibby Allen, who plays the role of Brie Sheridan in Virgin River. The two friends revealed a photo of their project on Instagram on Monday, April 22. In the caption, they wrote: “Coming this summer…” and in the hashtag the title of the podcast: “I like you very much.”
Virgin River fans rejoice over Alexandra Breckenridge and Zibby Allen’s podcast
Fans of the series, who were fascinated by the actress’ recent makeover, stormed the comments section, visibly delighted by the news: “I’m so happy for you girls! And I can’t wait for it to come out”, “This is literally the best news ever! I’m so happy for you girls!”, “This is literally the best news ever!!! So excited for you girls!”, “Oh this should be so much fun! I can’t wait!”, we can read among others. Or “I’m really looking forward to this podcast. I really need a laugh with this cold weather here in Belgium. You both bring the sunshine with you”, wrote some fans of the Netflix romantic series.
When is season 6 of Virgin River coming to Netflix?
If Virgin River fans are eagerly awaiting season 6 of their favorite series, they will have to be patient for a while longer. While this new season has been confirmed by Netflix in May 2023, its release date has not been announced and it may well not be before 2025. The reason? Virgin River does not appear among the programs announced by the American giant this year and season 6 is still being filmed. The podcast by Alexandra Breckenridge and Zibby Allen should therefore give fans of the series something to wait. In May 2024, Alexandra Breckenridge mourned the death of her best friend, who was “like a sister” to her.
