Virgin River fans, rejoice — Season 7 has officially wrapped filming, and that means we’re one step closer to returning to the small-town drama, romance, and intrigue t
From Vancouver to Mexico: A Production Journey
Filming for Season 7 kicked off on March 12, 2025, in Vancouver, British Columbia, a location that has doubled as the picturesque Virgin River since the series began. Production continued until June 26, 2025, with select scenes shot in Mexico, teasing exotic new storylines outside the borders of the quaint mountain town. This geographic expansion hints that the upcoming season will widen its lens, possibly bringing fresh challenges for Mel, Jack, and their circle of friends.
What Fans Can Expect
While Netflix has yet to release an official date, most industry insiders predict a late 2025 or early 2026 premiere. Season 7 is expected to carry ten episodes, keeping in line with recent installments.
What’s particularly exciting is the promise of deeper character arcs. Mel and Jack’s post-wedding life will reportedly anchor the season, while Doc’s medical practice becomes the focal point of a looming conflict. With larger organizations threatening to swallow his independent clinic, fans may see Doc fight his biggest battle yet — not against illness, but against bureaucracy.
Meanwhile, new cast members Sara Canning (as Victoria, a former police officer turned coroner) and Cody Kearsley (as Clay, a mysterious newcomer tied to town secrets) are set to shake things up. Their arrival ensures that Virgin River’s mix of romance and mystery remains as compelling as ever.
Why the Wrap Matters
The completion of filming is more than just a production milestone — it’s a signal that the beloved series is staying on track despite the challenges of maintaining a long-running drama. For fans who have followed Mel and Jack’s journey through heartbreak, joy, and countless cliffhangers, Season 7 promises another deeply emotional ride.
The wait may be tough, but with the cameras now officially off and post-production underway, the countdown to Virgin River’s return has truly begun.
