There’s more good news for Virgin River fans: Netflix has officially renewed the beloved small-town drama for Season 8. The announcement confirms that Mel, Jack, Doc, Hope, and the rest of the Virgin River community will be back for even more heartfelt stories.
Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith shared his gratitude, thanking both Netflix and the show’s loyal fanbase for allowing the series to continue exploring the lives of its now-iconic characters. The renewal comes just as Season 7 has wrapped filming, keeping the momentum strong.
When viewers return in Season 7, Mel and Jack will be settling into married life and beginning to build a future together, while Doc and Hope work to protect the clinic — and the soul of the town — from outside threats. Two new characters will also be introduced, adding fresh dynamics to the story.
Season 8 is confirmed to feature 10 episodes, though fans will need to be patient, as Season 7 is still on the way. Still, the silver lining is clear: 20 new episodes of Virgin River are ahead.
Now officially Netflix’s longest-running current scripted original drama, Virgin River continues to prove that its quiet charm, emotional depth, and devoted audience are as strong as ever. 🌲❤️
