With December now underway, many fans are wondering whether Virgin River Season 7 will finally get a premiere-date announcement — or at least a teaser — before the end of the month.
Production on the new season wrapped quite a while ago, which means the episodes are likely edited and sitting on Netflix’s shelf, just waiting for the right release window. At this point, scheduling — not post-production — seems to be the only thing holding the premiere back.
So, could news be coming soon? While nothing is officially confirmed, there’s good reason to be optimistic. Our expectation is that Virgin River will return within the first few months of 2026, and Valentine’s Day stands out as an especially fitting date, given the show’s romantic tone and the central love story between Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson’s characters. Because Netflix usually announces dates a couple of months ahead, a December reveal would align perfectly with their typical rollout.
What stories will Season 7 explore?
Two major threads appear to be driving the new season:
-
Charmaine’s uncertain fate after the huge Season 6 finale cliffhanger.
-
Mel and Jack’s family decisions, as they face critical choices about their future together.
With the show’s biggest emotional arcs still unresolved, Season 7 is shaping up to be a meaningful continuation of the Virgin River saga.
