Fans of Virgin River are growing eager for news about Season 7, and while Netflix hasn’t made anything official, series lead Alexandra Breckenridge has given a behind-the-scenes glimpse at where things stand.

In a recent Instagram Story, Breckenridge — who plays Mel Sheridan — joked from the Vancouver set:

“I feel like I’m on day 857 of filming Season 7. We’re almost done, can you believe it? I can’t even believe it. Almost to the finish line. 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. I don’t know any information. I’m the last to know.”

While the actress remains optimistic, signs suggest that a 2025 release may be unlikely. Netflix hasn’t mentioned Virgin River in its upcoming lineup for next year, which has sparked speculation that the seventh season could be held for early 2026 — perhaps aligning with Valentine’s Day, a thematically fitting time for the show’s return.

In the meantime, fans are left wondering what’s next for the residents of the picturesque Northern California town. Major questions heading into Season 7 include:

• What’s going on with Charmaine’s long-running pregnancy mystery?

• Will Mel and Jack take the leap and adopt Marley’s baby?

• How will the arrival of two newcomers — Victoria (Sara Canning) and Clay (Cody Kearsley) — shake things up?

Additionally, there’s talk of a potential spinoff focusing on Mel’s parents’ past, glimpsed through flashbacks in Season 6. Though Netflix has yet to greenlight the project, fans are already buzzing about the idea of expanding the Virgin River universe.

So while the wait for Season 7 continues, it’s clear that the cast is hard at work — and that there’s plenty more drama, romance, and small-town intrigue to come.
