Has Netflix already decided the fate of ‘Virgin River’ season 7?

Virgin River fans have plenty to celebrate, with Season 6 confirmed to arrive on December 19, picking up where Season 5’s cliffhanger left off. Netflix recently doubled the excitement by renewing the series for a seventh season even before Season 6’s release, ensuring the show’s future through at least 2025. With this renewal, Virgin River joins the ranks of long-running Netflix hits like Orange Is the New Black and Grace & Frankie.

The upcoming season promises plenty of milestones for fan-favorite couple Mel and Jack. Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith teased that Season 6 will feature all the events leading up to their wedding, from the bachelor and bachelorette parties to the rehearsal dinner, set against a vibrant springtime backdrop. There are also fresh arcs for characters like Brady, who starts volunteering at the Virgin River fire station under Fire Chief Kaia, drawing him into Preacher’s complicated past.

Season 7 production is set to begin in early 2025, with the familiar scenic British Columbia locations — including Vancouver, Squamish, and Langley — continuing to capture the show’s cozy aesthetic. The series could make Netflix history by potentially reaching Season 8, rivaling only Elite among Netflix Originals.

For now, fans can rewatch Virgin River Seasons 1-5 and get ready for the next chapter on December 19!
