‘Virgin River’ Star Colin Lawrence Just Gave Us a Rare Sneak Peek at Season 4 and...He Looks Very Different

Don’t know about you, but the latest Virgin River update posted by Colin Lawrence is giving us major Game of Thrones vibes.

Yesterday, Lawrence (who played Preacher) posted a never-before-seen photo from Virgin River season four on Instagram. In the snapshot, the British actor is wearing a Shakespearean-style garment (where art thou?) with a gold embroidered crown on his head. Meanwhile, his co-star Lucia Walters (who plays Julia) is standing across from him, rocking a red floral gown with a beaded headpiece.

Lawrence wrote in the caption, “‘Heavy Is The Head That Wears The Crown’………..but damn these outfits are slamming right!?!?”

Speaking of the fourth season, we finally got an official release date for the new installment. Last month, Netflix confirmed season four will return on—drum roll please—July 20.

The streaming service also shared never-before-seen photos from the upcoming season on social media, which included our favorite characters like Melinda “Mel” Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack (Martin Henderson), Hope (Annette O'Toole) and more.

While Virgin River season four has a summer premiere date, many fans have been wondering how long they’ll have to wait for the fifth season. Filming was originally supposed to start in March 2022, but it was postponed.

Alexandra Breckenridge told Glamour magazine, “We were supposed to start shooting season five of Virgin River in March, but it was pushed to July,” she told the publication.

Who’s up for a Virgin River marathon before the fourth season premieres? *Grabs popcorn*
