Virgin River is not done with your emotions. Netflix’s fan-favorite small-town saga is officially rolling into its seventh season, and while the pace of life in the fictional northern town might be slow, the drama behind the scenes? Anything but. This time, old ties are being tested. And fresh faces are moving in, some with secrets, others with second chances. The season looks ready to stir the pot in a big way.
Virgin River Season 7: Production Timeline
Filming for Season 7 kicked off back on March 12, 2025, and the cameras were expected to stop rolling by June 26. With 10 episodes lined up, the show’s return date is still a mystery. Netflix hasn’t stamped a launch window yet, but given the radio silence on 2025 content lists, early 2026 (maybe around Valentine’s Day) feels more realistic than a late-2025 release. Even Alexandra Breckenridge (yep, Mel herself) joked on Instagram that she’s been filming “for 857 days” and has “no clue” when fans will get to binge again.

Virgin River Season 7: Who’s Returning & Who’s New?
Virgin River’s core cast isn’t going anywhere. Expect returns from Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, Tim Matheson, and Annette O’Toole, among others. However, Season 7 also adds two new recurring characters: Sara Canning (known from The Vampire Diaries) and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale alum). Their exact roles haven’t been detailed, but their arrival could shake up the town’s familiar rhythm.
