Great news for fans of romance and small-town drama! Netflix’s beloved series, “Virgin River,” has officially begun production for its highly anticipated seventh season. Filming commenced in Vancouver, British Columbia, on March 12, 2025, and is expected to wrap up by June 26, 2025. This long-awaited return to the picturesque Northern California town means viewers can look forward to more heartwarming moments, complex relationships, and community spirit that have made the show a global sensation. The production timeline suggests a likely release in early 2026, though a late 2025 debut isn’t entirely ruled out if post-production moves swiftly.
Season 7 is set to pick up right where Season 6 left off, continuing to follow the lives of Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge), Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), and the rest of the quirky and endearing residents of Virgin River. A significant plot point will undoubtedly revolve around Mel and Jack’s newly married life on their farm, exploring the “honeymoon phase” and the inevitable obstacles that come with building a future together. Furthermore, the dramatic cliffhanger involving a pregnant Marley seeking Mel and Jack to adopt her baby promises a major new development for the couple’s family.
Beyond Mel and Jack, the upcoming season will also delve into the continuing storylines of other beloved characters. Fans can expect updates on Charmaine’s mysterious disappearance and her ongoing conflict with Calvin, the evolving love triangle between Brie, Brady, and Mike, and the challenges facing Doc Mullins as his medical license is suspended and his clinic faces threats from a major hospital network. Two new recurring characters, Victoria (a former cop turned medical board investigator) and Clay (a rodeo worker searching for his long-lost sister), are also set to join the cast, promising fresh dynamics and intriguing new plotlines for the tight-knit community.
