As fans eagerly anticipate the return of their beloved series, they’ve been treated to a special behind-the-scenes photo. Mel Monroe star Alexandra Breckenridge took to Instagram to share an image of Netflix’s chief, Ted Sarandos, making his first-ever visit to the show’s set.

The fourth season of Virgin River concluded in July with a heartwarming ending for fans of Jack Sheridan (played by Martin Henderson), who just got engaged to Mel.

Since the release date for season five has yet to be announced, fans have been keeping themselves entertained by following the cast as they continue filming.

On Thursday, actress Alexandra Breckenridge posted a photo on Instagram to commemorate an important milestone for the show.

She was captured alongside her on-screen fiancé, Jack, and Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, Ted Sarandos.

Virgin River: Mel and Jack Anticipating the Arrival of a Baby

In the caption, she wrote, “Thank you @tedsarandos for the special visit! We love working on your network and hope to be here for many seasons to come.”

Ted’s visit is significant for the show, as it marks his first appearance on the Virgin River set.

As the head of Netflix, Ted’s visit could be a positive sign for the show’s future, which remains a fan favorite.

Ted’s visit also sparked a frenzy among fans who flocked to Alexandra’s comments section with excitement and anticipation.

@alexbreckfrance exclaimed, “We need more Mel & Jack! Fingers crossed season 6 will be announced soon.”

@virginriverclub added, “We need Mel and Jack in our lives for many more years.”

An emotional @martina_wolfi agreed, “Yes!!!! We need many more seasons.”

@houseofsquirrels commented, “Me too!! My favorite show. I didn’t think he’d go and attend so many performances, so that’s a big compliment for Virgin River.”

@tchellee pleaded, “Please, many more seasons.”

Fans will remember that season four ended on a happy note for Jack and Mel as they got engaged and learned that they were expecting their first child together.

This was welcomed news because they were unsure if Jack was the father of Mel’s baby.

During their brief separation, Mel returned to Los Angeles and underwent in-vitro fertilization with the embryo she had preserved with her late husband, Mark Monroe (played by Daniel Gillies).

Although Jack decided he didn’t want to know about the biological parentage and agreed to raise the child as his own, the couple was forced to undergo a custody battle.

Upon learning that she might have a grandchild, Mark’s mother filed for full custody.

To prove the child’s paternity, Mel had to undergo a paternity test, but they could finally breathe a sigh of relief when they learned that their daughter was indeed Jack’s.
