As Virgin River moves forward, season seven is introducing fresh storylines — and new faces. Netflix announced that Sara Canning and Cody Kearsley have joined the cast, while Mark Ghanime will not return as Cameron Hayek in upcoming episodes.
Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith emphasized that Cameron remains part of the show’s world, leaving the door open for a future return. For now, attention turns to Victoria, played by Canning, a medical board investigator whose professional mission could threaten Doc’s practice — and whose personal history in town adds intrigue.
Kearsley’s Clay arrives with emotional baggage of his own, driven by a long-running search for the sister he was separated from as a teen.
Filming is now underway in Vancouver, with familiar faces including Colin Lawrence, Tim Matheson, and Annette O’Toole back on set. Season seven promises change, conflict, and deeper character exploration.
