Netflix is doubling down on Virgin River. Ahead of Season 7’s debut, the streamer has officially renewed the beloved small-town drama for Season 8, proving once again that Mel and Jack’s story still has plenty of life left.
The early renewal comes as no surprise. Since premiering in 2019, Virgin River has been a steady ratings winner for Netflix, with Season 6 spending four weeks in the Top 10 and peaking at 9.2 million views. The series has made a habit of earning renewals well before new seasons even air — a rare vote of confidence in today’s streaming landscape.
Season 6 saw Mel and Jack finally tie the knot while uncovering long-buried secrets from Virgin River’s past, including revelations tied to Mel’s father. The season also marked a milestone for Martin Henderson, who made his directorial debut.
With Season 7 still on the way and Season 8 already secured, Virgin River’s future looks more stable — and more romantic — than ever.
