Virgin River fans have named the perfect show to binge watch while waiting for season 7
Virgin River fans are already desperate for another series to binge watch while waiting for season seven and they've now voted for the best replacement Virgin River enthusiasts have been compiling lists of their favourite comparable programmes during the ongoing break, and the number one choice may come as a shock. The Netflix romantic hit follows nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge) as she relocates to a tranquil Northern California town after experiencing tragedy. She rapidly develops a connection with local pub proprietor and ex-Marine Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), and together they've navigated numerous personal struggles across six series to date. Adapted from Robyn Carr's cherished book collection, the programme has established itself as Netflix's most enduring English-language series since launching in 2019, with two additional seasons currently being developed. Before the eagerly awaited seventh instalment arrives either later this year or in early 2026, viewers have flocked to Reddit to identify the finest programmes offering a comparable small-town atmosphere, reports the Mirror US. One participant shared a compilation of nine programmes and commented: "Finished Season 6 and damn I'm seriously mourning right now. "I made a list, so please help me rank the top 3 shows that exactly give Virgin River vibes. Thanks!" Their selection featured Chesapeake Shores, Sullivan's Crossing, Ransom Canyon, Sweet Magnolias, Hart of Dixie, Heartland, Gilmore Girls, Cedar Cove and Everwood. Whilst the majority of programmes mentioned garnered appreciation from at least one viewer in the responses, a somewhat unexpected selection secured the most backing. One Reddit user simply declared: "hart of dixie!!!" A second chimed in: "Hart of Dixie!! Best show ever. Dare I say better than VR? (I love vr so this is saying a lot)." Another enthusiast joined the conversation, remarking: "I was absolutely obsessed with this show, I wish I bought the series on dvd back then!" "Hart of Dixie! It's a gem," declared another fan, adding: "And Doc is still the Doc!" Echoing the themes found in Virgin River, the CW series Hart of Dixie centres around the driven Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson), who relocates to the quaint town of Bluebell, Alabama to work as a general practitioner after her aspirations to become a heart surgeon fall through. Her arrival and subsequent romantic feelings for local lawyer George Tucker (Scott Porter) spark tension, especially with his betrothed, Lemon Breeland (Jaime King), who concocts schemes to expel Zoe from their tight-knit community. As if the plot wasn't enticing enough, the show also stars Tim Matheson, known from Virgin River, as another medical professional, Brick Breeland, who is Lemon's father. For fans stateside, there's good news – all four seasons of Hart of Dixie are ready for binge-watching for free on ITVX. Are you set to dive into what could be your next obsession this week? Virgin River is available to stream on Netflix. Hart of Dixie is available on ITVX.

Jaime King accused of owing 100k to ex-husband's attorneys
Jaime King has been accused of failing to pay a $100,000 legal bill. The Black Summer star was adored to pay ex-husband Kyle Newman's legal fees in the wake of their split and law firm Wasser, Cooperman and Mandles, have made moves to take the 46-year-old actress to court after she failed to settle a bill for $98,441.16 plus $2,000 in interest. Court documents obtained by Us Weekly included a 2024 court order from the divorce, which required Jaime to pay 49-year-old Kyle's legal fees, giving her 30 days to do so. The judge noted: 'It is appropriate that [Jaime], the high earner in the marriage, pay those fees and she already agreed to do so.' The law firm want the Hart of Dixie actess to appear in court with information about her assets and money in her bank accounts to help them collect on the debt. Jaime may be subject to arrest if she doesn't appear at a scheduled hearing, but her spokesperson insisted the actress - who lost primary custody of sons James, 12, and Leo, 10, earlier this year - had no idea about the row. They said: 'This is the first time Jaime or her current legal team have been made aware of this filing. 'The continued media attention on the mounting financial and emotional costs of this unnecessarily aggressive divorce highlights the unrelenting pressure Jaime has faced. For years, she has endured fear tactics and legal intimidation while doing everything in her power to protect her children and rebuild a stable life for them. "Jaime remains committed to the healing for her family, and moving forward with grace. We respectfully ask for privacy and compassion during this time.' Jaime and Kyle split in 2020 after almost 13 years of marriage. They originally agreed to share custody of their sons, but in October 2024, the Fanboys director filed court documents alleging his ex-wife needed help after he found her "distressed". Her attorney said at the time: 'It is unfortunate that [Newman] continues to utilise the court in attempt to continue … the filing of unfounded malicious claims and to use the children as weapons and pawns without regard to their privacy.' But in March, Kyle was awarded primary custody of the boys, with Jaime granted shared legal custody and supervised visits three days a week. The Pearl Harbor actress was told her custody could increase once she finished a six-month drug and alcohol programme, followed by weekly drug tests. And around the time she lost custody of her sons, Jaime was forced to move out of her Los Angeles home after being sued by her landlord over more than $42,000 in unpaid rent. Her attorney said: '[King] has expressed to [the landlord] multiple times that she desires to pay the past due rent and vacate the premises prior to the end of the lease. 'She has been acting in good faith to raise the funds to due so, however suffered continued setbacks and hardship due to the Los Angeles wildfires, which came within 800 feet of her home, forcing her to flee her home after mandatory evacuation orders were issued in the Nichols Canyon fire.' The pair eventually agreed a deal, and Jaime moved out within weeks.

5 best shows like 'Sullivan's Crossing'
"Sullivan's Crossing" came to Netflix in early July, and it's proven to be one of the biggest shows on the streaming service practically ever since. The series originally premiered on Canadian network CTV in 2023 and has run for three seasons so far (Netflix has the first two, and the series was just renewed for a fourth outing to air in 2026). It's based on the novels by Robyn Carr and follows neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (Morgan Kohan) as she returns to her rural Nova Scotian hometown amid some legal trouble, where she reconnects and reckons with her past. Given the show's a proven hit for the streaming giant, I thought now would be the perfect time to round up some more shows with a similar vibe in case fans were already trying to find their next new show. So, here are five shows like "Sullivan's Crossing," and where you can stream them right now. Maggie Friedman's "Firefly Lane" could be another drama worth checking out after "Sullivan's Crossing." This time-hopping series is based on the novel of the same name by Kristin Hannah, and revolves around two lifelong best friends from the Seattle region: Kate Mularkey (Sarah Chalke) and Tully Hart (Katherine Heigl). The pair first met in their teens when they were neighbors on the titular street, and the series follows their friendship from inception through the decades up to their 40s. Watch "Firefly Lane" on Netflix now Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. If you're on the hunt for another small-town drama, then "Hart of Dixie" might fit the bill. The CW comedy-drama series introduces us to Dr. Zoe Hart (Rachel Bilson), a fish-out-of-water New York doctor who swaps city living to take up a job at a practice in the fictional southern town of Bluebell, Alabama. There, she learns the man has died and left her his half of the practice in his will, and we follow Zoe as she tries to get to grips with her new life. Drama, laughs and romance ensue. Watch "Hart of Dixie" on Prime Video now "Ransom Canyon" is a relatively recent Netflix arrival that debuted earlier this year, and if you're on the lookout for another show with a similar enough vibe and don't mind swapping Nova Scotia for the rugged Texan landscape, then it could well be your new favorite show. The show takes us down to the town of Ransom Canyon, where love triangles, long-held family drama, hidden secrets, and land disputes between family ranching dynasties are the order of the day. At the center of all that drama is stoic rancher Staten Kirkland (Josh Duhamel), a man reeling from heartbreaking loss (and a man out for vengeance). His only hope lies in the eyes (and heart) of local dancehall owner and longtime family friend, Quinn O'Grady (Minka Kelly). They're caught in a battle between external forces that threaten their way of life and the town that they call home. Watch "Ransom Canyon" on Netflix now "Sweet Magnolias" is another romantic series you can also find on Netflix, so you don't even have to switch streaming services. This cozy drama is based on the book series of the same name, penned by Sherryl Woods. It transports viewers to the fictional southern town of Serenity, South Carolina, which is the type of town where everyone knows everyone. There, we follow three born-and-raised South Carolina women — Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley) and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) — who have been best friends since childhood and who continue to support one another as they navigate all the twists and turns that life throws their way. Watch "Sweet Magnolias" on Netflixnow While I'm sure some "Sullivan's Crossing" viewers have already streamed "Virgin River," if you haven't, this seems like the most obvious recommendation. It stands to reason that, if you enjoyed watching one series based on Robyn Carr's books, you're also going to enjoy getting wrapped up in Netflix's romantic drama (which adapts Carr's series of the same name). The series sees nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) who swaps Los Angeles for the titular Northern Californian town to make a fresh start. She soon discovers that small-town life is more complicated than she first thought, and is surprised by who she meets and what she finds in town.

Jaime King is engaged
Jaime King is engaged. The 46-year-old actress is in a relationship with investor Austin Sosa, and PEOPLE has confirmed that the pair is set to tie the knot. A source told the outlet: "She is very close with his family and was staying with his parents after she moved out of her Los Angeles apartment earlier this year." A representative for the Hart of Dixie star - who was initially married to Kyle Newman from 2007 until 2023 and has James, 11, as well as nine-year-old Leo with him - later confirmed the news but also reminded fans that she would prefer privacy at this time. The rep said: "Jaime is especially happy to share this moment with her children, who have a loving bond with Austin and his family," her rep said. "As always, her sons remain her top priority, and she kindly asks for privacy as they move forward together with love and gratitude." After losing sole physical custody of her children, Jaime admitted that the whole battle had been "scary" for her and she didn't think about any of that when she first tied the knot. Speaking to Jana Kramer on her Whine Down podcast, she said: "It's terrifying, when to be able to be free means that you have to pay a very extreme price, and I'm not just talking about financially. "It's very upsetting, and I will do everything in my power to change this system, and it's not a will. I'm going to. There's no price to pay for freedom." My duty as a mother is to protect my children. And that's all that matters to me. This is scary." "I just didn't know when I got married at a young age. I just didn't know that that the world works like this. I didn't know that legal systems work like this. "And not to sound like some kind of neophyte, but I thought that, you know, when you choose to love someone, then you love that person. You build a family with them, and, you trust them."
