Virgin River fans, rejoice! As we gear up for Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan’s wedding in Season 6, there’s even more exciting news: the beloved romantic drama has officially been renewed for Season 7, just ahead of the Season 6 premiere on December 19.
Netflix confirmed the renewal with a heartwarming video featuring the cast, delighting fans who have long anticipated this announcement. Given the series’ consistent presence on Netflix’s weekly top 10 most-watched shows list, this renewal comes as no surprise.
According to What’s On Netflix, whispers of Season 7 had circulated among the production team, making this announcement feel like a well-anticipated reality. The excitement is palpable, as more love, drama, and the charm of small-town life are on the way!
With Patrick Sean Smith continuing as showrunner after taking the helm in Season 5, fans can expect his vision to shape the new season. While specific production dates haven’t been announced, filming is likely to begin in early 2025 in British Columbia. This renewal positions Virgin River alongside Netflix giants like Orange Is the New Black and Grace & Frankie as one of its longest-running English-language scripted series.
Despite some fluctuations in viewership, Virgin River has proven to be a reliable hit, particularly after the boost in audience numbers during the Season 5 holiday episodes.
As we await Season 6, there’s even more to look forward to with the introduction of two new characters: Jessica Rothe (from Happy Death Day) and Callum Kerr (from One Piece) will portray a young version of Mel’s parents, Sarah and Everett Reid, in flashbacks set in the 1970s.
Additionally, the Virgin River universe is set to expand with a rumored prequel series focusing on Mel’s parents, currently in early development. This will delve into the love story of Sarah and Everett, promising to add even more depth to the Virgin River saga.
Get ready for another heartfelt journey in Virgin River—the best is yet to come!
