The Perfect Virgin River Replacement Came Out 8 Years Earlier – But It’s Not On Netflix

If you’ve finished Virgin River and are looking for something similar, give Hart of Dixie a chance, a series that came out eight years earlier. Virgin River is confirmed to be returning for season 7, and though an exact date has yet to be set, filming did begin in March 2025, which could suggest a fall 2025 release date.

For those who have been following Virgin River carefully, watching Mel Monroe navigate life in the remote Northern California town, they’re probably all caught up. So if you need something with a familiar tone to get you through the next month or two before season 7, Hart of Dixie has you covered.

Hart Of Dixie Is Also A Romantic, Charming Story About Someone Starting Over In A Remote Setting

Hart of Dixie is a CW series that ran for four seasons from 2011 to 2015, finally ending with a series finale that managed to tie up some major storylines as best it could, considering it was announced that the series was canceled sometime in the middle of the fourth season airing.

The series stars Rachel Bilson as Dr. Zoe Hart, a New Yorker with dreams of becoming a heart surgeon in the big city. However, after failing to get a job there, she ends up back in her hometown of Bluebell, Alabama, working as a general practitioner at a practice started by the father she never knew she had.

Despite not being a fan of the slow life at first, Zoe comes to appreciate life in Bluebell, getting herself into a love triangle while also helping her friends and neighbors. There are a lot of parallels between Hart of Dixie and Virgin River, with the remote locales offering the chance to start over.
