Virgin River fans have plenty to celebrate. Netflix has officially renewed the beloved drama for Season 8, cementing its status as the longest-running original scripted series in the streamer’s history. Since its debut in December 2019, the small-town romance has grown into a global favorite — and it’s showing no signs of slowing down.
Star Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel Monroe, shared her excitement on Instagram with a simple but joyful message: “#virginriver keeps on keeping on!” Fans quickly flooded the comments with love, gratitude, and hopes that the series never ends.
While Season 7 is still on the way, Netflix has already revealed that both Seasons 7 and 8 will feature 10 episodes each, promising plenty of heartfelt moments ahead. According to showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, Season 7 will follow Mel and Jack as they begin married life, while Doc and Hope fight to protect the town’s clinic from outside threats.
