The wait is officially longer — but clearer. Virgin River Season 7 is now expected to premiere in March 2026, according to series star Ben Hollingsworth. Netflix hasn’t announced a specific date yet, but the window is set.
Filming wrapped on June 26, 2025, following a March start, creating a gap of more than a year since Season 6 aired in December 2024. The extended pause allows time for post-production and scheduling within Netflix’s release calendar.
Season 7 introduces new faces and new tension. Sara Canning joins as a medical board investigator who could upend Doc’s future, while Cody Kearsley plays a rodeo veteran searching for family. Familiar favorites — including Mel and Jack — return, with the focus shifting to their married life and challenges from outside their relationship.
With Season 8 already confirmed, Virgin River isn’t slowing down — it’s simply waiting for the right moment to return.
