Virgin River is once again preparing viewers for an emotional gut punch. Netflix has unveiled the Season 7 trailer, and while newlyweds Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) begin the preview declaring, “We’re having a baby,” longtime fans know that happiness in this town never comes without consequences.
The trailer quickly introduces uncertainty as Marley, Mel’s patient who previously asked the couple to adopt her unborn child, admits she needs more time. The moment leaves Mel and Jack devastated, with Mel confessing, “I wasn’t ready for how painful it would be to feel hope again.” Jack, ever the anchor, reminds her that love itself was a risk they already chose to take.
Season 7 also marks a major turning point for the couple as they leave behind the cabin that has been their home since the series began and move into a new ranch. “This is the end of one chapter and the beginning of another,” Mel reflects. The newlyweds even tease their honeymoon plans—though the destination remains a mystery, despite hints of an international setting.
Beyond Mel and Jack, the trailer teases mounting tension across Virgin River. Doc Mullins faces the fight of his life to save his clinic, appealing directly to the town for support. Preacher and Kaia appear headed for rocky territory, while Lizzie and Denny welcome their baby amid signs that Lizzie may struggle with new motherhood.
Other storylines briefly hinted at include unresolved romantic tensions involving Brie, Brady, and Mike, Muriel’s cancer treatment, and a possible new dynamic among Doc, Hope, and Roland. The season also introduces a new bull-riding character played by Cody Kearsley.
What the trailer doesn’t reveal may be just as telling—there’s no update on Charmaine’s twins or Brie’s response to Mike’s proposal, leaving fans with plenty of unanswered questions.
Season 7 of Virgin River premieres March 12 on Netflix, promising love, loss, and yet another emotional ride through television’s most dramatic small town. 🌲💔
