Virgin River is officially returning, and this time Netflix has made things clear. Season 7 will premiere on March 12, 2026, picking up immediately after the Season 6 finale that saw Mel and Jack finally tie the knot.
The new season explores life after the vows. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has confirmed that married life won’t be smooth or silent, as Mel and Jack adjust to living together on the farm and navigate the everyday challenges of partnership. Parenthood also remains central, with Season 7 continuing the adoption storyline introduced in Season 6—offering hope after Mel’s earlier loss.
Importantly, Netflix has already renewed Virgin River for Season 8, signaling that Season 7 is a continuation, not a conclusion. The show’s strength lies in its emotional consistency and long-running character arcs, which continue to resonate with viewers.
