Warning: This article contains major Virgin River spoilers
Virgin River Season 5 is scheduled to premiere on Netflix this autumn, and today, the streamer has released a bunch of first-look photos to help fans ease the wait.
The new season of the romantic drama will picks things up after the major twist at the end of Season 4. In the finale of the previous season, the audience learned that Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) is not the true father of Charmaine Roberts's (Lauren Hammersley), but Mel Monroe's (Alexandra Breckenridge) baby is his.
Among the key plot points of the show's fifth season include Paige's ongoing situation with Vince, Hope's recovery, Doc's devastating diagnosis, Brie and Brady's relationship, and Christopher and Preacher. Jack and Mel are currently in a relationship, so it seems that there's order again, but it looks like there's a devastating fire in the upcoming season that will surely shake things up.

In one photo from Virgin River Season 5, John 'Preacher' Middleton (Colin Lawrence) and Mayor Hope McCrea (Annette O'Toole) gaze in the distance at a fire that's burning the forest surrounding Virgin River.
The series left the fate of villainous Vince (Steve Bacic) in mystery last season, but it looks like the audience will finally find out if he's actually dead.
