Here are 5 shows you’re bound to love if you’re a Virgin River fan

Kat O'Connor

Curl up on the sofa with these heartwarming and emotional series.

We promised ourselves we wouldn’t binge-watch the new season of Virgin River, but did we stick to that promise?

No.

As usual, we were glued to the TV until all hours and have been left with a Virgin River-shaped hole in our hearts.

The latest season of everyone’s favourite small-town drama series was the best by far. Full of intense, gripping and moving storylines, but now we’re at a loss of what to watch.

Luckily, Netflix is full of similar series that’ll keep you entertained until season 4 is released next year.

Firefly Lane

Katherine Heigl returns to the small screen in this American drama series. Firefly Lane follows the lives of best friends Tully and Kate from their teenage years in the 1970s, all the way through to adulthood. The emotional series is bound to become one of your new favourites.

Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings

Sometimes you need a little bit of cheese in your life. Dolly Parton’s Heartstrings brings the singer’s most famous songs to life in this anthology series. The 8 part series is quite the tear-jerker so have your tissues at the ready. Starring Julianne Hough, Ginnifer Goodwin, Katie Stevens, Colin O’Donoghue and Dolly Parton.

This Is Us

Be prepared to cry like a baby at every single episode of this show. This Is Us is an emotional rollercoaster of a series but by far one of the best shows on TV at the moment. This Is Us follows the lives of siblings Kevin, Kate, and Randall (known as the “Big Three”) and their parents Jack and Rebecca Pearson. It takes place mainly in the present and uses flashbacks to give us a look into the family’s past.

Sweet Magnolias

Charming, cheesy and easy to watch, Sweet Magnolias became one of the most-watched shows on Netflix last year. Lifelong friends lift each other up as they juggle relationships, family and careers in the small Southern town of Serenity. The cast recently finished filming season 2 so you’ve got plenty of time to catch up before its 2022 release.

Gilmore Girls

Gilmore Girls really is the ultimate cozy show to watch in the autumntime. The charming series follows the lives of mother-daughter duo Lorelai and Rory Gilmore in the charming town of Stars Hollow. The show is full of wit, surprisingly moving storylines, family drama, pop-culture references galore, and a lot of coffee. It’s the perfect antidote to a miserable day.
