The beloved Netflix drama Virgin River is nearing the end of production on its highly anticipated seventh season. Star Alexandra Breckenridge recently offered a filming update that showed a mix of fatigue and enthusiasm. Alongside familiar faces returning to the screen, fans can look forward to fresh characters who will introduce new dynamics to the story.
🎥 Filming Update from the Set
Production on Season 7 is almost finished. Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel Monroe, took to Instagram to update her followers. In a candid video, she spoke about how long filming has felt, jokingly saying:
“I feel like I’m on day 857 of filming Season 7… We’re almost done! Can you believe it? I can’t even believe it. Almost to the finish line.”
While she appeared polished on screen, her tone suggested that the long days on set are catching up to her — though she made it clear that she’s excited to wrap things up.
🌟 New Characters Arriving in Season 7
Two new cast members are set to join the residents of Virgin River:
-
Sara Canning, known for her role in The Vampire Diaries, will play Victoria, a former police officer who suffered an injury in the line of duty. After leaving the force, she began working for the state medical board. Her entrance into the small town will directly affect Doc Mullins, whose medical license was suspended in the Season 6 finale.
-
Cody Kearsley, previously seen in Riverdale, will portray Clay, a tough rodeo hand. He’s on a mission to reunite with his younger sister, whom he lost contact with during their teenage years.
These new characters are expected to stir up fresh storylines and emotional developments in the upcoming season.
📅 When Will Season 7 Be Released?
As of now, Netflix has not announced a premiere date for Virgin River Season 7. Since Season 6 debuted in December, the production team has been working steadily on the next installment. Given the current progress, fans are hopeful that the new season will arrive sometime in 2025.
Even Alexandra Breckenridge doesn’t have the answer just yet. In her video, she laughed about the uncertainty and asked fans whether they thought the new episodes might drop this year.
