The Season 6 finale of Virgin River left fans emotionally wrecked — in the best way. Mel and Jack’s long-awaited wedding finally happened, but true to Virgin River form, happiness came hand-in-hand with looming secrets and fresh uncertainty. Season 7 is set to pick up almost immediately after those wedding-day cliffhangers, diving straight back into the cozy chaos of the town.
While Netflix hasn’t announced an official release date, strong industry buzz points to March 2026. Filming wrapped in late June 2025 after starting in March, with additional scenes shot in Mexico — widely believed to represent Mel and Jack’s honeymoon. The timing makes sense: Netflix is spacing out its biggest comfort dramas, and Season 8 has already been greenlit, signaling full confidence in the series’ staying power. As always, Season 7 will consist of 10 episodes.
At its core, the new season explores newlywed life for Mel and Jack — romance, yes, but also real-world pressure as they plan their future on the farm. Expect emotional intimacy paired with the show’s signature slow-burn tension, all wrapped in that familiar small-town warmth fans return for year after year.
