Netflix Renews Virgin River for Season 7: Release Date & Cast Updates

Yes, Virgin River Season 7 is officially confirmed and will premiere on Netflix in early 2026.

The beloved small-town drama Virgin River is far from over. Netflix has greenlit a seventh season, continuing the emotional rollercoaster that fans have come to adore. Filming wrapped in mid-2025, but due to post-production timelines, the release has been slated for early 2026.

What to Expect in Virgin River Season 7?

Season 6 left viewers with a flurry of unresolved storylines. Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan’s relationship faced new strains as secrets from the past resurfaced, testing their bond just after their long-awaited wedding. Meanwhile, Brady and Charmaine’s custody battle added another layer of drama, and the town of Virgin River itself continues to evolve with new business ventures, personal dilemmas, and unexpected arrivals.

Season 7 promises to explore these arcs further, with deeper emotional stakes and the signature blend of romance, community, and healing that defines the series. Expect new characters, fresh conflicts, and more of the scenic charm that makes Virgin River feel like home.

Season 8 and Beyond

In a rare move for a Netflix original, Virgin River has also been renewed for an eighth season, solidifying its place as one of the platform’s longest-running dramas. This double renewal signals Netflix’s confidence in the show’s enduring popularity and opens the door for even more expansive storytelling.

There’s also buzz about a potential spin-off in development, which could explore the backstories of fan-favorite characters or introduce new faces to the Virgin River universe.

Why the Delay?

While fans hoped for a late 2025 release, the production schedule simply didn’t allow it. Filming concluded mid-2025, but the post-production process—editing, scoring, and final touches—requires several months. Netflix is aiming for a polished, emotionally resonant return in 2026, ensuring the wait will be worth it.
