Virgin River fans, it might be time to get excited—again. While Netflix has kept most details about Season 7 under wraps, series lead Alexandra Breckenridge may have just accidentally dropped a juicy clue about when new episodes might hit our screens.

A Cryptic Selfie Sparks Speculation

On June 5, Breckenridge—who plays the beloved Mel Monroe—shared a selfie to her Instagram Stories that had fans doing a double take. Over the image, she added a short but powerful poll:

“Virgin River Season 7 2025? Yes. No.”

That’s it. No context. No follow-up. Just a teasing question that sent Virgin River loyalists spiraling into speculation. Could this be confirmation that Season 7 is premiering in 2025? Or is she just as in the dark as the rest of us?

Is Filming Almost Done?

In a follow-up clip posted to her Instagram Story, Alexandra gave fans another breadcrumb to chew on:

“I feel like I’m on day 857 of filming Season 7,” she joked. “We’re almost done, can you believe it?… I keep wondering if they’re going to put the show out this year. What do you guys think? Probably, right? If they have it, they’ll probably drop it… this year, 2025.”

While she added, “I don’t know any information. I’m the last to know,” the tone of her post suggests that Season 7 might not be as far away as some feared. If production is wrapping soon, a late 2024 or early 2025 premiere seems more likely than not.

New Faces, New Family Dynamics

Back in March 2025, Netflix confirmed that Virgin River was adding two new characters to the fold—played by Sara Canning and Cody Kearsley. Their arrival is expected to shake up the small-town dynamic and possibly expand the narrative around one of the show’s central themes: family.

Breckenridge echoed that sentiment in a Good Housekeeping interview last December:

“I think Season 7 is going to really focus on the idea of family… I’m so looking forward to that.”

With Mel navigating new phases in her life and Jack (Martin Henderson) by her side, it’s likely we’ll see a deeper dive into their personal growth—and possibly more surprises around Mel’s own family history.

The Bottom Line

While Netflix has yet to confirm an exact premiere date, Alexandra Breckenridge’s hints—and her comments about filming nearly being complete—suggest that Season 7 of Virgin River may premiere as early as late 2024 or more realistically, sometime in 2025.

Until then, fans will be watching Instagram like hawks and holding out hope that we’ll be back in Virgin River very soon.
