Virgin River is officially returning to Netflix in March 2026, with Season 7 premiering on March 12. The long-running romantic drama continues to anchor Netflix’s cozy-drama lineup, deepening the emotional journey of Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan while expanding the show’s rich small-town mythology.
Season 7 opens with a major milestone: Mel and Jack’s spring wedding. While the celebration signals a hopeful new beginning, it also ushers in fresh tensions, jealousy, and difficult choices that test the couple’s bond. True to the series’ style, love and joy coexist with emotional uncertainty.
Beyond the central romance, the new season explores Virgin River’s past, introducing storylines tied to Mel’s father and transporting viewers back to the 1970s through flashbacks. These moments add historical depth and connect personal grief to the town’s shared memory.
The core creative team remains intact, with Sue Tenney and Patrick Sean Smith overseeing the season. Direction is shared by familiar hands, including Martin Henderson, ensuring tonal continuity. The main cast—Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, and Zibby Allen—all return.
