This American series returns for its sixth season on Netflix. And it will soon break a strange record for the streaming platform.
It’s increasingly rare to find a series produced by Netflix that spans multiple seasons. All genders combined, Orange is the New Black remains to this day the longest series produced by the platform of streamingwith 91 episodes. But if we confine ourselves only to dramas (the first being considered a dramatic comedy), the record held until then by House of Cards should be beaten soon.
While season 6 centered on the marriage of Mel and Jack releases this December 19, 2024, Virgin River already promises to become the streaming platform’s longest-running English-language drama of all time. Indeed, the series has already been renewed for a season 7 of ten episodes. It would then have 74 episodes, dethroning other drama series in the ranking, such as House of Cards (73 episodes) or The Crown (50 episodes).
Virgin River is a series inspired by the literary saga of Robyn Carr, 19 volumes long. The public’s enthusiasm for the series is measured with each new season which prances in the top 10 after their release. In the cast, we find Alexandra Breckenridge (This is us, American Horror Story) and Martin Henderson (Grey’s Anatomy) in the main roles.
