Alongside Breckenridge, 39, the show also stars Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence,Benjamin Hollingsworthand Grayson Gurnsey, among many others.
Back in December, Breckenridge opened up toHuffPostabout how she had previously avoided projects likeVirgin River. Noting to the outlet that she chose “edgier” roles at the start of her career, Breckenridge said that all changed when she became a mother in 2016.
“Sometimes you don’t want to watch something that’s gonna really take you down some kind of analytical path,” she said. “Sometimes you really want something that’s just basic and cozy — a beautiful small town where people fall in love.”
Breckenridge added: “Emotions are heightened right now and this show provides the perfect sort of soft landing and entertainment for people dealing with loss or going through what they’re going through [with the coronavirus pandemic].”
