We don't know about you, but we pretty much binged the latest season of Virgin River as soon as it was out.
The heartbreak! The revelations! The drama! We are hooked – and already counting down until the next season comes out – even if we have to wait another while to find out what happens to Jack, Mel and everyone else in the sleepy North California town.
Simultaneously, we are also impatiently waiting on the third instalment of Sweet Magnolias – and eagerly stalking the show's official Instagram for updates. For instance, we know that they started filming season 3 back in July, something which was also confirmed by Jamie Lynn Spears, who plays Noreen on the popular Netflix show.
