Virgin River spoilers follow.

Virgin River season 5 is expected to premiere this autumn, with a bunch of freshly released first-look pictures helping fans ease the wait.

The new Netflix chapter will pick things up after the huge twist at the end of the previous season. As viewers will know, we found out that Charmaine Roberts's (Lauren Hammersley) twins are, in fact, not Jack Sheridan's (Martin Henderson), but protagonist Mel Monroe's (Alexandra Breckenridge) baby is.

As Jack and Mel are currently in a relationship, order seems to have been restored, though there are still a few questions that need answering. And there's a devastating fire on the horizon to bring even more drama.

In a shot from episode five of the new instalment, Mayor Hope McCrea (Annette O'Toole) and John 'Preacher' Middleton (Colin Lawrence) gaze in the distance at a fire that's destroying the forest surrounding Virgin River.

And it looks like more drama is heading Paige Lassiter's (Lexa Doig) way as she shares intensely worried looks with Preacher in another image.

The show left villainous Vince's (Steve Bacic) fate in a limbo last season, but it seems viewers will finally find out if he's gone for good.

Meanwhile, Vernon 'Doc' Mullins (Tim Matheson) has something serious on his mind as he's faced with his wet age-related macular degeneration (wet AMD) diagnosis.

Though she doesn't appear in the new images, the return of Hammersley as Charmaine still seems plausible. But it looks like we'll have to wait until the show returns to know for sure.

She's Jack's friend with benefits who has been pregnant since season 1 (yep, they really take things slow in this quiet little town).

Four chapters later, it may be time for her gestation to come to an end, with a father reveal guaranteed to have an impact on Jack after he's been lied to for months.

Virgin River seasons 1-4 are streaming now on Netflix. Season 5 is yet to receive an official release date.
