Forever begins inVirgin Riverseason 6.
On Friday, Nov. 29, the trailer for the sixth season of Netflix’s hit series was revealed, which focuses on the lead-up to Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack’s (Martin Henderson) wedding.
“I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, who is trusting in forever again,” Mel says in a voice over.
The trailer is packed with drama, the scenic location fans have come to know and love and plenty of romantic scenes between Mel and Jack, including one of them cozying up under the stars, dancing together in a barn, sitting in a bubble bath together and a steamy shower shot.
There are also classic pre-wedding rituals such as bachelor and bachelorette parties and a rehearsal dinner.
“I’ve spent so many years wishing things hadn’t happened the way they have,” says Mel. “But the end of one love story can be the beginning of another.”
The trailer ends with Jack looking at Mel in her full wedding gown and breathlessly saying, “Wow.”
