List of shows like Virgin River
Gilmore Girls
Gilmore Girls is a great show for viewers who have seen Virgin River. This is because the main plot of the show deals with a mother and daughter navigating life in small town filled with rather interesting residents, much like Mel Munroe does in the earlier seasons of Virgin River. Moreover, Gilmore Girls also deals with multiple similar story themes that is also seen in Virgin River.
This Is Us
This Is Us is another great show for those who have seen Virgin River as this family drama series tells a wonderfully touching story about hardships in life, and also explores themes of loss and love in a very difficult world in spellbinding and heartbreaking ways. In many ways, This Is Us touches upon many story beats that are also seen in Virgin River. Moreover, Mel Munroe fans would definitely love this show as the actress who plays her, Alexandra Breckenridge, is part of This Is Us’ main cast.
Bridgerton
Bridgerton is another great series for viewers of Virgin River, as this show is also a romantic drama that not only features a wonderful cast of unique characters but, like Virgin River, also touches upon various themes like love and loss in a masterful way. This is in addition to dealing with issues like class divide and romance taboos. Bridgerton is simply a more elegant version of Virgin River, albeit one that is set in the 19th century.
Ginny and Georgia
Ginny and Georgia is a great show for viewers of Virgin River, since both shows deal with characters who attempt a fresh start in life. In this case, it’s a mother, daughter, and son who move to a new town following the death of the mother’s husband and the kids’ father. However, there is a reversed situation here as Ginny, Georgia, and Ginny’s son, Austin, move to the affluent town of Wellsbury, while Mel Munroe from Virgin River moves from the classy city of Los Angeles to the small town of Virgin River.
Sweet Magnolias
Sweet Magnolias is another great show for viewers of Virgin River. The show is practically Virgin River except with the story being set in a South Carolina town instead of a North California one.
Moreover, the lead trio of Sweet Magnolias — Maddie, Dana, and Helen — not only deal with the loss of a husband and dive back into the dating life like Mel does in Virgin River, but also help each other out through life challenges. Additionally, the trio joins forces in their professional lives, much like how Mel teams up with Doc.
