As filming for Virgin River Season 7 kicked off, star Martin Henderson (Jack Sheridan) opened up about one aspect of working on Netflix dramas that he “hates” — and it might surprise fans.
The Challenge of Rapid Filming Schedules
Henderson revealed in a recent interview that while he loves portraying Jack and diving into the small-town drama, the accelerated pace of shooting Netflix dramas can be tough:
-
Scenes are often filmed back-to-back, leaving little room for actors to reflect on emotional moments.
-
Henderson explained that this pace sometimes reduces the subtlety or depth he wishes he could bring to certain scenes.
-
Despite this, he emphasized that the dedication of the cast and crew always makes it worth it.
Why Jack Still Resonates
Even with these challenges, Henderson admits that playing Jack is a joy:
-
The character’s resilience, charm, and vulnerability keep him invested.
-
Interactions with Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel) provide the emotional grounding that Henderson loves exploring on-screen.
-
Fans can expect even more intense, romantic, and suspenseful storylines in Season 7.
Behind the Scenes of Season 7
-
Filming is taking place in Hacienda Cenote Oxman on Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, providing a stunning backdrop for the new season.
-
Henderson and Breckenridge were seen filming what appear to be honeymoon scenes, giving fans a glimpse of the couple’s continuing romance.
-
Season 7 filming wrapped on June 20, signaling that post-production is now underway.
What This Means for Fans
While Henderson may have some gripes about the fast pace of Netflix drama filming, his love for the show and character shines through. Season 7 promises:
-
Romance: More intimate moments between Jack and Mel
-
Drama: New conflicts and shocking twists in Virgin River
-
Visual Splendor: Beautiful on-location shots in the Yucatán
