Fans of Virgin River, rejoice—Netflix has officially confirmed the release date for Season 7, and if that weren’t thrilling enough, one of the show’s beloved stars has just shared a surprise that’s sending shockwaves through the fandom.
After months of anticipation, Netflix revealed that Virgin River Season 7 will premiere in early 2026, wrapping up the emotional journey that has captivated viewers worldwide. The announcement came alongside a heartfelt social media post from lead actress Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays the fan-favorite character Mel Monroe.
But what truly caught fans off guard was the unexpected bombshell she dropped: Season 7 will be the final season of the series.
“It’s bittersweet,” Breckenridge wrote on Instagram. “This show has meant the world to me, and I can’t wait for everyone to see how we bring Mel and Jack’s story to a close.”
The announcement triggered a wave of emotional reactions online, with fans expressing both sadness and gratitude for the show’s long run. Virgin River has consistently ranked among Netflix’s most-watched dramas, thanks to its perfect blend of romance, small-town charm, and deeply human storytelling.
According to showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, Season 7 will be supersized, consisting of 12 episodes, and promises “answers to all the big questions” left hanging in the previous season’s cliffhanger finale.
“We’re going out with heart, healing, and a few twists nobody will see coming,” Smith teased in a behind-the-scenes video.
Season 6, which ended on a dramatic note with major revelations about Mel’s family and a life-changing decision by Jack, left fans desperate for closure. Now, with confirmation that Season 7 will tie up all loose ends, anticipation is at an all-time high.
Filming is currently underway in British Columbia, with familiar cast members like Martin Henderson (Jack), Tim Matheson (Doc), and Annette O’Toole (Hope) all returning. New characters are also expected to be introduced, possibly bringing fresh dynamics—and more drama—to Virgin River’s tight-knit community.
Whether you’re here for the romance, the mystery, or the sense of home, Season 7 promises to be an emotional farewell to a show that’s brought comfort to millions.
So mark your calendars and get ready—Virgin River Season 7 is coming soon, and it’s going to be unforgettable.
