“Virgin River” has been renewed for an 8th season on Netflix, making it the longest-running scripted series on the platform to date.
The romance saga starring Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson recently wrapped production on Season 7, which is set to premiere later this year.
“On behalf of myself and the entire ‘Virgin River’ family, we are forever grateful to Netflix and the fans for allowing us to continue this journey with these beloved characters,” showrunner Sean Patrick Smith said in a statement.
The beloved romantic series first premiered in 2019 and is based on Robyn Carr’s novels of the same name. The series follows nurse Mel Monroe (Breckenridge) after she moves from the big city to a small town in Northern California. Once there, she falls for the seemingly difficult bartender Jack Sheridan (Henderson).
Season 6 ended with Mel and Jack’s wedding. The upcoming season 7 will explore their lives as newlyweds as they begin planning their life and family together. Meanwhile, Doc (Tim Matheson) and Hope (Annette O’Toole) will have to team up to “protect the clinic and the integrity of the town from outsiders,” Smith told Tudum . This new season will also introduce two new characters.
The installment was filmed in Vancouver, Canada, and Mexico during the first half of 2025. The 10-episode season recently wrapped production. Netflix has not yet announced a release date for this season. Although the series has been hit or miss with critics, “Virgin River” has consistently been one of Netflix’s most-watched shows.
