Just when fans thought the wait couldn’t get any longer, Virgin River drops a surprise of its own. Netflix has officially scheduled Season 8 production, and it starts sooner than anyone expected.
Filming kicks off on April 22, 2026, running until August 10, across multiple Canadian locations. That means Season 8 cameras will be rolling just weeks after Season 7 premieres on March 12, 2026.
The move solidifies Virgin River as one of Netflix’s most reliable hits, surpassing several iconic shows in longevity. While the tight production window opens the door to a potential late-2026 release, most industry watchers believe Netflix will hold Season 8 for early 2027 to avoid oversaturation.
One thing is clear: Virgin River isn’t going anywhere.
