Virgin River fans finally have the update they’ve been waiting for. Tim Matheson, who plays Doc Mullins, confirmed that Season 8 is officially in production—and the beloved Netflix drama is back on set sooner than many expected.
Sharing behind-the-scenes photos from Season 7 on social media, Matheson celebrated the return to filming and reflected on the strong bond among the cast. He also hinted that the off-screen friendships help make the small-town world of Virgin River feel so authentic for viewers.
The exciting news arrives just weeks after Season 7 premiered, proving the series isn’t slowing down anytime soon. However, Season 8 will move forward without original cast members Marco Grazzini and Lauren Hammersley, whose storylines have wrapped—for now.
With major cliffhangers still unresolved, including Brady’s fate and Mel and Jack’s new chapter as parents, fans already have plenty of reasons to look ahead to what’s next.
