The actors who will play Mel’s late mother and biological father in upcoming Virgin River flashbacks have been revealed.
As Deadline first reported, Jessica Rothe and Callum Kerr have been cast in the roles of Sarah and Everett for season six of the Netflix series. The recurring characters are being introduced to audiences as the streamer develops a prequel series about Sarah and Everett’s origin story. If all goes according to plan, Rothe and Kerr will headline the Sarah and Everett spinoff.
“Seen in flashbacks mostly set in or around 1972, Sarah (Rothe) is a witty, free spirit from the big city with an ardent passion for activism, and trying to avoid the conventional/traditional life of a young woman in the ’70s,” Deadline teases. “Always up for an adventure, she can’t help chasing an instant spark with a handsome musician, Everett (Kerr), who might just be her star-crossed soulmate.”
Netflix teased photos of the scene where they first meet. Sarah is hitchhiking when Everett picks her up in his VW van.
Present-day Everett was revealed as Mel’s biological father in the Virgin River season five Christmas special. After she was initially rejected by him, Mel’s wish finally comes true when he shows up on Christmas. In the episode’s final seconds, Everett started telling her “something important” before he was cut off mid sentence.
So season six has some serious explaining to do.
As showrunner Patrick Sean Smith previously told Deadline, season six will explore “who Everett Reid is, what his backstory is, what his connection to Virgin River was when he met her mom and then also what it is today; the relationship of Everett with the town as well as Everett and Mel.”
Virgin River is expected to return in late 2024.
