After a rare year off in 2025, Virgin River has quietly delivered the news fans have been waiting for. Netflix has confirmed that Season 7 premieres March 12, 2026, alongside a first-look photo of Mel and Jack back in town. The series has also been renewed for Season 8, solidifying its place as Netflix’s longest-running show.
The spring release marks a shift from the show’s usual late-year drops. Star Alexandra Breckenridge suggested the delay may be strategic, noting Netflix’s crowded slate—including the highly anticipated Stranger Things finale—likely pushed Virgin River into the new year.
Season 7 will explore Mel and Jack’s newly married life, their honeymoon phase on the farm, and a deeper dive into their adoption journey following Season 6’s emotional finale. The new episodes will also continue storylines involving Brie, Mike, Brady, Doc, Hope, and the rest of the tight-knit Virgin River community.
