Virgin River is ramping up for another 10-episode run, taking pride of place as Netflix's most enduring English-language drama series to date.

The show's enduring success owes much to its enthralling romantic storylines and the warm embrace of its small-town ambience. A recently released poster has cast members, including Sarah Dugdale, Tim Matheson, Kandyse McClure, Zibby Allen, Ben Hollingsworth, and Colin Lawrence, posing against the iconic setting of Jack's Bar.

One sharp fan, @Dapper-Mulberry-5362, took to the platform to discuss the latest image, pondering: "Will the new poster mirror the S6? Weren't we promised more Mel and Jack?"

Adding fuel to the fire, they queried: "Your thoughts on the new poster, considering there is almost the whole cast compared to only Mel and Jack to previous seasons?" (sic)

However, some viewers didn't appear overly concerned about the extent to which the show's main love story would be highlighted. One viewer noted: "Posters really don't ever tell you much. Don't read too much into it."

"VR is more than Jack Mel people... there many characters that we love... From what we saw in the trailer there will be a lot of Jack Mel, relax," another chimed in. (sic)

A third confidently stated: "The first S6 trailer is only about on Mel and Jack and the lead up to their wedding, and they're at the centre of this poster. I'm quietly confident we're going to see a lot of them - but not necessarily together all the time." (sic)

Meanwhile, other fans highlighted the "sad" situation between Brie (Allen) and (Hollingsworth).

One remarked: "Brady having nobody is a bit sad. Looks like he was getting a bit of a redemption story, I hope he doesn't get shafted in S6, hope he pulls through the trouble with Lark (and Jimmy) from last season, a great little twist by the way." (sic)

Other fans seemed optimistic for a reunion, with one responding: "Brady and Brie are looking at each other tho..." (sic)

"Brie may be with someone in this poster but if you look at her face, she sure looks sad and distant. Kinda mirrors Brady's face," another concurred. (sic)

"Oh no! Bree and Brady, eyeing one another from across the room ... lol," a fourth quipped. (sic)

Meanwhile, another fan mused: "Brady and Brie looking at each other is a nice touch. Wonder how Lark will mess up Brady this time tho." (sic)

Virgin River season 6 will premiere Thursday, December 19 on Netflix.
