Virgin River continues to captivate audiences with its heartwarming romance and small-town drama. With Season 6 delivering Mel and Jack’s long-awaited wedding, fans are eager for updates on Virgin River Season 7. Here’s everything we know about the release date, cast, plot details, and what to expect from Netflix’s longest-running original scripted drama.
Virgin River Season 7 Release Date Speculation
Netflix has not announced an official release date for Virgin River Season 7, but filming began on March 12, 2025, and is scheduled to conclude on June 26, 2025, in British Columbia, Canada. Based on the production timeline for Season 6, which filmed from February to May 2024 and premiered on December 19, 2024, we can make an educated guess.
Previous seasons have typically followed a 7- to 12-month post-production period. Given this pattern, Virgin River Season 7 is likely to premiere in late 2025 or early 2026, with many reports leaning toward early 2026 due to the extended filming schedule.
