When Will Virgin River Season 7 Arrive?
While Netflix has yet to confirm the exact premiere date for Virgin River Season 7, the show’s production timeline hints at a familiar release window. Season 6 was shot between February and May 2024 and launched on the streaming platform in December of that year. Now, with Season 7 having finished filming in July 2025, fans are anticipating a similar rollout—most likely December 2025.
What Lies Ahead in Season 7?
According to showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, Season 7 will dive into Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan’s early life as newlyweds, bringing fresh challenges to the idyllic town. Gone is the whirlwind romance—now comes the reality of building a life together on their farm. Smith hinted that this “honeymoon phase” will be anything but smooth sailing.
Mel’s journey back to her medical roots continues, while Jack faces new pressures both professionally and personally. The couple will be forced to navigate the growing pains of marriage, from financial worries to the ghosts of past trauma. Smith noted that themes of family and community remain central, but they’ll be tested like never before.
In a recent statement, Smith said, “We’re eternally grateful to Netflix and our incredible fanbase for allowing us to continue on this journey. These characters mean the world to us, and we can’t wait for everyone to see what’s next.”
Star Alexandra Breckenridge echoed those sentiments, revealing that Season 7 will emphasize connection, personal growth, and resilience. “This season really goes deeper into the bonds that keep Virgin River together—and what happens when those bonds are stretched to their limits.”
