Virgin River is currently filming its seventh season, which could arrive on Netflix sooner than expected
Virgin River season seven could arrive sooner than anticipated, according to a recent update from star Alexandra Breckenridge.
The actress, who plays Mel Monroe, is currently filming the latest season alongside co-star Martin Henderson, who returns as Jack Sheridan following the dramatic season six cliffhanger.
The storyline picks up with Jack’s ex, Charmaine (played by Lauren Hammersley), missing after failing to appear at their wedding, while Mel faces a difficult decision regarding her patient Marley’s baby.
Although season seven is still in production in Vancouver with no official release date, it is expected to premiere by early 2026.
However, Breckenridge’s latest update hints that fans might be able to catch new episodes of Virgin River as early as the end of 2025, as she revealed she’ll be wrapping up filming soon, reports the Mirror US.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, the actress thanked fans for their messages, celebrating her 43rd birthday on Thursday, 15th May.
Breckenridge also announced plans to post more content on her YouTube channel, explaining that her busy filming schedule for Virgin River season seven has kept her from creating cooking videos and maintaining her garden.
“Because I’ve been so busy filming Virgin River season seven,” she said, “I haven’t been able to do all of my cooking videos as much as I wanted to, or keep up with the garden or anything.
“But I did start a YouTube channel, which has little to no content on it.”
In a recent update, Breckenridge assured fans she’d post more videos once her schedule eases between seasons.
She teased the near completion of the current filming schedule, indicating more free time on the horizon: “Once I’m done this season, which will be soon,” she then sidetracked slightly as she remarked about the state of her appearance, saying, “My hair is really dirty, it’s gross.
“It’s quite humid out here in Georgia, so I’m a little bit sweaty and yucky.”
Returning to her plans, the actress explained: “But, once I’m done, I’m gonna start keeping up with all things gardens, cooking and chickens.”
Given that Breckenridge is presently at her home in Georgia, there’s speculation the Virgin River cast may enjoy a brief respite before heading back to Vancouver to put final touches on season seven.
With the current pace of production, fans are buzzing about the possibility of a late 2025 release for the beloved Netflix romance series.
