Virgin River continues on Netflix with Season 4, which sees Melinda Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) preparing to welcome her first baby, while also trying to determine who the father is. The show that Decider’s Joel Keller compared to “a warm bath” for its “comforting and a welcome respite,” is providing just what audiences are seeking right now, it seems — Virgin River is back in Netflix’s Top 10 list with its latest season.
If you’re among the loyal viewers who streamed Virgin River Season 4 in its first week, odds are you’ve already burned through all of the latest episodes. And with each one clocking in at just around 45 minutes, who could blame you? Amidst the heat waves and rain storms, Netflix’s soapy series is the perfect binge to stay cool and breezy inside.
Now that you’re done streaming the third season of the Netflix hit, you’re likely wondering, what should I watch next? What shows like Virgin River are available to stream? And more importantly, where can I watch them? We’ve got you covered — here are seven shows to queue up next after Virgin River.
'Hart of Dixie'
Rachel Bilson stars in Hart of Dixie, a dramedy that originally ran on The CW for four seasons before ending in 2015. When Dr. Zoe Hart (Bilson) moves to Bluebell, Alabama to work at a stranger’s practice there, she finds out that the man who offered her the job has died and it’s up to her to take over once her half of the practice once she arrives, much to the chagrin of Brick Breeland (Tim Matheson), the other doctor working there. While it’s a shock to adjust from New York City to the pace of a small town, Zoe finds her way and settles in down South.
'Northern Rescue'
Northern Rescue follows John West (William Baldwin), a search and rescue commander who moves his three children, Maddie (Amalia Williamson), Scout (Spencer MacPherson) and Taylor (Taylor Thorne), from their home in Boston to Turtle Island Bay after the death of his wife, Sarah. The drama, which first aired on CBC, examines how Sarah’s death affects John and each of his children as they settle into their new town without and their new family dynamic without her.
'Sweet Magnolias'
Netflix’s southern soap tells the story of three best friends from South Carolina, Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen Decatur (Heather Headley), and Dana Sue Sullivan (Brooke Elliot) who have been close since childhood. Although they live with different careers and relationships, they always find time for each other. Sweet Magnolias follows the trio as they navigate a life filled with romance, heartbreak, and drama. Season 1 premiered on Netflix last spring, and the show has been officially renewed for Season 2.
'When Calls the Heart'
When Calls the Heart, a Hallmark Channel original, has been going strong for seven seasons now. The series takes us back to the early 1900s, when schoolteacher Elizabeth Thatcher (Erin Krakow) trades in her high society lifestyle for a teaching job in a humble Canadian coal town. There, she meets women like Abigail Stanton (Lori Loughlin), one of dozens of widows who have been forced to work in the mines after an explosion killed their husbands. Abigail takes Elizabeth under her wing and helps her acclimate to life on the frontier.
'Schitt's Creek'
While Schitt’s Creek mostly lacks the dramatic, soapy element of Virgin River, it does fit the show’s theme of settling into a new place and adjusting to the life and culture there. The PopTV series follows the wealthy Rose family, who, drained of their assets and with nowhere to go, are forced to move to a town called Schitt’s Creek that they jokingly purchased years ago. The hit comedy swept the Emmys this year for good reason, and landed on our list of Best TV Shows of 2020.
'Heartland'
Heartland, a Canadian drama that’s been on the air for over a decade now, has featured some of our favorite stars, including Tatiana Maslany. The series follows Amy Fleming (Amber Marshall), a young girl who discovers after her mother’s death that they share the same gift of a special connection with horses at Heartland Ranch, where she and her grandfather help heal injured horses and find them new homes. Seasons 1 through 13 are now streaming on Netflix, but the show is currently in its 14th season.
'Gilmore Girls'
Gilmore Girls is a classic. Since it first premiered in 2000, the Amy Sherman-Palladino drama has been a TV staple with its story of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, and all of the characters who live there. The series focuses on the mother-daughter duo of Rory Gilmore (Alexis Bledel) and her mom, Lorelai (Lauren Graham), as they deal with family issues, romance, friendships, and the future that lies ahead. Netflix is home to the full series, but the streamer also has Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life, a limited series revival of the original.
