Virgin River is heading somewhere unexpected in Season 7 — and no, it’s not another cabin in the woods. Key characters from the beloved Netflix drama are going south of the border, with part of the upcoming season filmed in Mexico. Naturally, fans are buzzing with questions: Who’s going? Why? And when will it happen?
Mexico Bound: A Surprise Destination
The buzz began with a recent report from Netflix’s Tudum, which confirmed not only the show’s return for an eighth season, but also revealed a curious detail: although Season 7 was primarily filmed in Vancouver, production made a notable stop in Mexico.
While Netflix hasn’t shared specifics about which characters make the trip or what takes them there, the exotic setting opens the door to some exciting possibilities.
Honeymoon for Mel and Jack?
Top of the speculation list is Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan. After tying the knot in the Season 6 finale, the couple never got around to taking a proper honeymoon. What better place to unwind than a sunny beach in Mexico, far from the drama of Virgin River? After all the emotional highs and lows they’ve endured, a peaceful getaway feels long overdue.
Or… A Girls’ Trip? A Bachelorette Party?
Of course, it might not be just about romance. Mexico could just as easily serve as the backdrop for a girls’ getaway — or even a destination bachelorette bash. No one’s officially engaged at the moment, but several relationships are on the verge of taking the next step.
Could Kaia and Preacher be heading toward wedding bells? Or might Brie and Brady finally sort out their feelings and commit? (Sorry, Mike — the heart wants what it wants.)
Fan Theories Take Off
As details remain under wraps, fans are left to speculate. Is the Mexico storyline a romantic interlude, a friendship celebration, or something more dramatic? Could there be a twist — a medical emergency, a secret family connection, or a new storyline that unfolds far from home?
One thing is certain: this tropical detour marks a fresh direction for the show and promises to deliver something Virgin River hasn’t done before.
What’s Your Theory?
Now it’s your turn: Why do you think the Virgin River crew is headed to Mexico in Season 7? Drop your theories below — the more dramatic, the better. Because in Virgin River, you never know what’s around the corner… or across the border.
