Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays the beloved Mel Monroe, has sparked major excitement among Virgin River fans after dropping a possible clue that Season 7 could arrive sooner than expected.
Fans have been anxiously awaiting the next installment, especially after Season 6 ended with several storylines hanging in the balance. While early predictions pointed to a 2026 release, Breckenridge’s latest update suggests that we may not have to wait that long after all.
🎬 Filming Nearly Wrapped, Says Breckenridge
In a lighthearted Instagram video, Breckenridge gave followers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of life on set. She appeared a bit weary but clearly energized by how close they are to finishing production.
“Good morning, I feel like I’m on day 857 of filming season 7,” she joked, reflecting the long shoot schedule.
Mid-video, she was momentarily distracted by sounds of laughter nearby, adding with a smile:
“Can you hear that? There’s people laughing outside. They seem to be having a grand old time.”
She then dropped the exciting news:
“We’re almost done! Can you believe it? I can’t even believe it. Almost to the finish line.”
⏰ Could Season 7 Premiere Earlier Than 2026?
Although Netflix has yet to announce an official premiere date, Breckenridge’s comments are giving fans hope that Season 7 might hit screens in late 2025, rather than the initially expected 2026.
With filming nearly complete, it’s likely that post-production could move quickly—especially if Netflix aims to keep momentum going after the buzz of Season 6.
While we wait for confirmation, now’s the perfect time to revisit previous seasons or catch up if you’re behind. All six seasons of Virgin River are available to stream on Netflix.
