‘Virgin River’ Season 7 Wraps Filming — New Faces, Emotional Goodbyes & What’s Coming Next

Virgin River fans, rejoice — production for Season 7 has officially wrapped! While Netflix has yet to lock in a release date, all signs point to a late 2025 premiere, keeping in line with the show’s recent drop schedule (Season 5 in September 2023, Season 6 in December 2024).

A Bittersweet Wrap

As filming concluded, cast members took to Instagram with heartfelt messages and candid snaps that captured the tight-knit spirit behind the beloved small-town drama.

Benjamin Hollingsworth (Brady) posted sun-drenched selfies with co-stars Kandyse McClure and Zibby Allen, writing:

“First day of Summer and Last day of Filming Season 7 of Virgin River. ☀️ @netflix”

McClure sweetly chimed in with, “It was the best day!” — emoji included.

Zibby Allen (Brie) also shared behind-the-scenes photos with Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) and Martin Henderson (Jack), captioning them with a reflective:

“VRS7 wrapped. These lives within these lives…”

Hollingsworth responded with a fan-favorite line: “I hit the scene partner jackpot.”

Meanwhile, longtime cast member Annette O’Toole (Hope) quietly said goodbye to the set — and Vancouver — with a photo of her pup in a travel bag, simply writing, “Bye Vancouver!”

And fan-favorite Colin Lawrence (Preacher) shared a video reflecting on the season and his journey on the show:

“That, my friends, is a wrap on Season 7 for John ‘Preacher’ Middleton… Another stellar season, in my humble opinion. This show has been the most fun to work on. I’ve been so blessed to be part of this for seven seasons. Fingers crossed, more to come.”
He also teased what fans can expect: “More laughs, more tears, just a lot of emotion.”

What’s in Store for Season 7?

While plot details remain under wraps, Season 7 is shaping up to be a pivotal chapter in the Virgin River saga.

  • Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries) joins as a former cop-turned-medical investigator, arriving in town to look into Doc’s (Tim Matheson) controversial medical decisions.

  • Her investigation sparks a major power struggle for the clinic, as a big hospital network eyes a takeover.

  • Expect fireworks when Canning’s character crosses paths with someone from her past — and it’s not all business.

  • Cody Kearsley (Riverdale) also joins in a mystery role, adding another layer to the season’s intrigue.

Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed that the fate of Virgin River’s beloved local clinic will take center stage — a storyline adapted from Robyn Carr’s bestselling books that promises high stakes and heartfelt moments.

More to Come?

Though Netflix hasn’t confirmed an eighth season yet, the cast’s hopeful goodbyes — and the show’s steady popularity — hint that Virgin River may still have a few more stories to tell.

So grab your flannel and settle in — Season 7 promises new beginnings, old tensions, and the signature warmth and drama that fans keep coming back for.
