Netflix fans barely have time to catch their breath before Virgin River drops another major surprise. While Season 7 won’t premiere until March 12, 2026, production on Season 8 is already locked in — and it’s happening sooner than expected.
According to new production listings, filming for Season 8 will begin on April 22, 2026, just over a month after Season 7 hits the platform. The cameras are scheduled to roll for nearly four months, wrapping on August 10, 2026, across Squamish, Vancouver, and Burnaby.
This early start cements Virgin River as one of Netflix’s longest-running English-language dramas, officially surpassing Grace & Frankie and Orange Is the New Black. While some fans are hoping for two seasons in one year, insiders suggest a Q1 2027 release for Season 8 is still the safer bet.
