During filming, even Virgin River star Alexandra Breckenridge believed Season 7 could land sooner than expected. Sharing her exhaustion — and excitement — on Instagram, the actress joked about endless filming days and openly wondered if Netflix might surprise fans with a 2025 release.
That optimism didn’t pan out.
As the year comes to a close without new episodes, it’s clear that Breckenridge’s hopeful speculation didn’t align with Netflix’s larger rollout plans. While the actress admitted she rarely knows scheduling details, her comments still hinted that Season 7 was completed well ahead of time.
The lack of trailers, teasers, or official announcements suggests the streamer never intended a late-year premiere. Instead, Virgin River seems positioned for a quieter but more focused return — potentially after Bridgerton wraps its next chapter.
For fans eager to see newly married Mel and Jack step into their next phase, the wait continues — but signs still point to an earlier release rather than a long hiatus.
