It’s official: Virgin River Season 8 is on the way. After weeks of rumors, Netflix confirmed that filming has begun in Vancouver, bringing fans one step closer to the next installment of the hit series.
Production kicked off on April 22, with Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson sharing behind-the-scenes glimpses. The shoot is expected to last through August, keeping the cast busy all summer long.
That schedule, however, makes a 2026 release unlikely. Instead, viewers should expect the new season to arrive in early 2027.
The timing only adds to the suspense following Season 7’s dramatic ending. Mel and Jack are entering parenthood under challenging circumstances, while Brady’s life hangs in the balance after a sudden accident. As filming continues, fans will be watching closely for any hints about what comes next.
