Netflix may be keeping quiet, but the production schedule tells the real story. Virgin River Season 8 is officially set to begin filming on April 22, 2026, barely a month after Season 7 finally premieres.
The upcoming season will film through August 10, returning to long-standing locations in Squamish, Vancouver, and Burnaby. With 110 filming days planned, Season 8 appears to be following a full-scale production similar to previous seasons.
The early renewal last summer raised eyebrows, especially since Season 7 missed the 2025 release window entirely. Now, Netflix’s confidence is clear. While fans speculate about a possible 2026 release for Season 8, insiders caution that early 2027 remains the most realistic target.
Either way, Virgin River has officially entered legacy-series territory.
