Fans of Netflix’s Virgin River have reason to celebrate after Alexandra Breckenridge confirmed that season 8 is now filming. The actress shared a cheerful set photo with Martin Henderson, giving viewers their first glimpse behind the scenes of the highly anticipated new season.
Known for its emotional storytelling and comforting atmosphere, the series ended season 7 on a heartbreaking note when Mel and Jack’s newborn son developed a dangerous heart problem and was rushed to the NICU. The next season will explore how the couple handles the emotional and physical challenges of raising a child with complex medical needs.
Breckenridge recently admitted she’s excited to finally portray Mel as a mother after years of build-up throughout the series. At the same time, Martin Henderson will take on directing duties for several episodes.
Although Netflix has yet to reveal a premiere date, fans are already counting down the days until they can return to the world of Virgin River once again.
