Virgin River is returning to Netflix for its seventh season and the cast are busy filming the new episodes.
Virgin River fans may be in for a treat as Alexandra Breckenridge has dropped a hint that season seven of the popular series could arrive sooner than expected.
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 cliffhanger ending of season six.
Production for season seven is underway in Vancouver, with no official release date confirmed, although it is anticipated to premiere by early 2026.
However, in a recent update, Breckenridge revealed that she will be wrapping up filming soon, sparking hopes that new episodes of Virgin River could air as early as the end of 2025.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, the actress thanked fans for their birthday wishes and announced plans to post more content on her YouTube channel, explaining that her busy filming schedule for Virgin River had left her little time for other projects, reports the Mirror US.
“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.”
Breckenridge has excitedly promised her fans more video content once she’s less tied up with filming, hinting at a break in her busy schedule coming up soon.
She teased that the shooting for Virgin River’s latest series is nearing completion, saying, “Once I’m done this season, which will be soon,” but got momentarily distracted by her reflection, commenting on her appearance: “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.”
Refocusing on her plans, Breckenridge shared her eagerness to delve into her hobbies: “But, once I’m done, I’m gonna start keeping up with all things gardens, cooking and chickens.”
With Breckenridge currently in Georgia, speculation arises that the cast might be on a brief hiatus before they head back to Vancouver to put the final touches on the seventh season of Virgin River.
Fans are abuzz with anticipation, wondering if this could signal a late 2025 release date for the beloved Netflix romance series. Watch this space for updates.
