Virgin River may be one of Netflix’s coziest hits, but fans waiting for Season 7 are in for disappointing news — and a surprising timeline.
Since debuting in 2019, the series has become a phenomenon thanks to its heartfelt storytelling and beloved characters, especially Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson). Season 6 finally saw the couple tie the knot, leaving viewers eager to see what comes next — not just for Mel and Jack, but also for Hope, Doc, Brady, and the rest of Virgin River.
Is Virgin River Coming Back in 2025?
Sadly, no. The series will not return in 2025, dashing hopes for a surprise holiday release.
But there’s a silver lining. One cast member just revealed when the show will return — and it’s sooner than fans expected.
Season 7 Lands in March 2026
In a completely unexpected moment, Ben Hollingsworth (Dan Brady) announced that Season 7 is currently set to premiere in March 2026 on Netflix.
He shared the news during a November 2025 appearance promoting his holiday film The Christmas Ring.
Hollingsworth even teased what’s ahead for Brady:
-
He’s broke again
-
Brie (Zibby Allen) said yes to Mike’s bottle-cap proposal
-
He’ll be chasing down missing money
-
And possibly fighting for Brie’s heart

Breckenridge also hinted at what fans can expect from Mel in Season 7:

A romantic getaway for Mel and Jack
-

-
A storyline that dives “headfirst” into the emotional fallout
