For the unversed, Virgin River is a romantic drama series that follows the life of Melinda “Mel” Monroe, who works as a midwife and nurse practitioner in the remote Northern California town of Virgin River. She thinks that it will be the perfect place to start a new life and leave the painful past behind.

Virgin River Season 4 Plot
The synopsis for Virgin River Season 4 reads:
“Despite not knowing whether her baby belongs to her deceased husband, Mark, or Jack, Mel has a sense of optimism. For years she yearned to be a mother, and her dream is one step closer to reality. While Jack is supportive and excited, the question of paternity continues to gnaw at him. Complicating matters is the arrival of a handsome new doctor, who’s in the market to start a family of his own. Hope is still healing from her car accident, and the lingering psychological effects of her brain injury will have profound consequences for both her and Doc. Brie, intent on proving the innocence of the man she loves, unexpectedly finds herself in a closer relationship with Mike and one step closer to Calvin’s violent criminal web. Even as Preacher forges a new romantic connection, he can’t help but hold out hope for being reunited with Christopher and Paige.”
There are various questions that need to be answered in the fourth season. Mel is pregnant, but the baby might not be Jack’s. There’s a possibility that her late husband Mark could be the father. If the baby isn’t Jack’s, it may create some problems for the couple. How will Jack react? What is the future of their relationship? Thank god we don’t have to wait for long to find out.
In November 2021, the post-production work was in progress and Martin Henderson, who plays the role of Jack, gave fans an important update on how filming on season four was progressing. He posted a photo of himself on Instagram in which he was in a voiceover recording booth.
