Virgin River fans, get ready — the wait for Season 7 may not be as long as we feared!
Series star Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays Mel Monroe on the beloved Netflix drama, recently shared a surprising update that has sparked major excitement among fans. In a June 5 Instagram Story filmed on the set of Virgin River Season 7, Breckenridge teased the possibility that new episodes could drop earlier than expected.
“I keep wondering if they’re going to put the show out this year,” she said. “What do you guys think? Probably, right?”
Her playful question to fans comes as a shock considering previous reports. After Virgin River Season 6 was released in December 2024, many believed Season 7 wouldn’t arrive until 2026. That was based on a Deadline report claiming Netflix was likely pushing the premiere into the following year.
But with filming for Season 7 now nearing completion — and Breckenridge herself sounding hopeful — there’s renewed speculation that the next chapter might actually debut sometime in late 2025.
While Netflix hasn’t confirmed an official release date, this behind-the-scenes hint has fans buzzing with optimism. And with cliffhangers still looming after Season 6 — from Mel and Jack’s future to new arrivals stirring up drama in town — Season 7 is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated yet.
Stay tuned for updates, and cross your fingers — Virgin River might be back in your queue sooner than we all thought.
