Following months of silence, Netflix has finally confirmed the news that Virgin River fans were hoping not to hear: Season 7 won’t arrive in 2025 after all. Instead, viewers will have to wait a full calendar year longer for their favorite comfort show to return.
The announcement comes after what had previously looked like a perfect streak. Since premiering in 2019, Virgin River has delivered new seasons like clockwork—Seasons 1 and 2 in late 2019 and 2020, Seasons 3 and 4 in the summers of 2021 and 2022, and Seasons 5 and 6 in 2023 and 2024. With Season 7 wrapping filming back in July, fans naturally assumed the 2025 schedule was a sure thing.
But Netflix has officially set March 2026 as the release window for Season 7, marking the first time since the series began that audiences will go an entire year without returning to the small Northern California town they’ve come to love.
The delay comes at a time when Virgin River’s popularity is still soaring. Season 6 dominated the Netflix Top 10 through late 2024 and early 2025, and the streamer has already renewed the series for an eighth season—news that broke just days after filming on Season 7 concluded. Storylines are also heating up, with cliffhangers involving missing money, old flames resurfacing, and tough decisions ahead for key characters.
Though the wait will be longer than ever, anticipation for the upcoming season is already building. For fans eager for updates, Collider promises to continue providing news on Virgin River and all your favorite Netflix hits.
