5 shows like Virgin River fans need to watch

4. Shows like Virgin River: Heartland
Like Virgin River, Heartland is also based on a book series by Lauren Brooke. The Canadian series is a multi-generational drama revolving around sisters Amy and Lou Fleming, their grandfather, and Ty Borden, as they navigate life on their ranch.
It’s got drama, romance, comedy, and sweet family moments that should resonate with Virgin River fans and people who enjoy Hallmark television shows and films. Plus, Heartland is a long-running series with more than 200 episodes to watch, so it will certainly keep you busy and entertained for a while.
Earlier this year, the show was renewed for Season 14, so it doesn’t seem to be slowing down any time soon.
Heartland is available to stream on Netflix & Amazon Prime Video.

3. Shows like Virgin River: Outlander
If romance was the main reason you fell hard for Virgin River, then I strongly recommend you give the critically-acclaimed and extremely popular Starz series Outlander a try. Again, it is based on a massive book series from author Diana Gabaldon. There is a good chance you’ve already seen it or at least heard of it before, given its notoriety.
While Outlander has a much different setting than Virgin River, at the heart of its show is an exhilarating romance that spans centuries. It stars Caitriona Balfe as a former WWII nurse named Claire Randall.
Her time is 1945, but Claire unwittingly finds herself transported back to 1743 Scotland after visiting the standing stones at Craigh na Dun. There, she encounters Jamie Fraser, a handsome Highland warrior played by Sam Heughan.
Outlander is available to stream on Netflix & Starz.
