Virgin River is back on Netflix for its third season to date. But with a new season comes new faces, notably in the form of Brie Sheridan, Jack’s sister.
Season 3 returned to the streaming platform on Friday, 9 July 2021. Following season 2’s cruel cliffhanger, there was plenty of drama to catch up on.
Although viewers were elated for the show’s return, it was tinged with disappointment, as some fan-favourites were absent. But this time around, the drama series is focussing its attention on some new faces, such as Brie (Zibby Allen).

No. Brie Sheridan is a new character on Virgin River season 3.

In Virgin River, a romance blossoms between Brie and Mike Valenzuela.”
