The hardest part of waiting? Knowing what’s coming. Season 7 will finally explore Mel and Jack as a married couple, including their honeymoon phase and early life on the farm. After years of emotional detours, that long-promised happiness is finally in sight—making this delay feel less like heartbreak and more like a pause before a well-earned payoff.
And honestly, the bigger picture here is very reassuring. Netflix has already renewed Virgin River for Season 8, which means this isn’t a situation where the story is slowing down or the show is on shaky ground. In fact, it’s quite the opposite! The series is still one of Netflix’s most reliable comfort watches—and that early Season 8 renewal makes the Season 7 wait feel more like a scheduling delay than a signal of doom.
