Netflix is heading into 2026 with confidence — and Virgin River is firmly at the heart of its upcoming television slate. As part of a sweeping preview of next year’s programming, the streamer highlighted a mix of returning fan favorites and ambitious new projects designed to dominate the small screen.
Among the most anticipated returns is Virgin River Season 7, which continues Mel and Jack’s emotional journey in the picturesque Northern California town that has kept viewers invested for years. The long-running romance remains one of Netflix’s most reliable hits, standing alongside other comfort-drama staples like Sweet Magnolias, which will return for Season 5.
Netflix is also expanding its genre reach with Avatar: The Last Airbender Season 2, Bridgerton Season 4, and the intense new drama Man on Fire, led by Yahya Abdul-Mateen II. Reality fans can look forward to the revival of Star Search, while mystery lovers will get a fresh take on Agatha Christie’s Seven Dials.
