When Does Virgin River Return? Mel and Jack Are Back in March 2026 md14

Virgin River fans won’t have to wait much longer — Season 7 is expected to premiere on Netflix in March 2026. Filming ran from March to June 2025 in Vancouver, and the series is now deep in post-production.

The new season picks up with Mel and Jack as newlyweds starting their life on the farm, diving into a cozy-but-complicated honeymoon phase. Showrunner Patrick Smith confirms their relationship is solid, but the season will explore new challenges that come with married life — all while the rest of Virgin River faces their own emotional arcs.

What to expect in Season 7

  • Mel and Jack’s romantic getaway and the truth about Marley’s offer

  • Hope and Doc rebuilding together

  • Preacher and Kaia reconnecting after the wildfire

  • Lizzie and Denny preparing for their baby

  • New characters Victoria (Sara Canning), an ex-cop, and Clay (Cody Kearsley), an athletic newcomer

The main cast returns, including Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, and more.

And for fans wondering — no, Mel and Jack aren’t a real-life couple. Alexandra Breckenridge is married to musician Casey Hooper, while Martin Henderson keeps his personal life private.

Season 7 arrives in early 2026 with fresh conflicts, new characters, and plenty more small-town romance.
