Virgin River Season 6 to Premiere Earlier Than Expected: See 1st Look | Us Weekly

Season 7 Confirmed: A New Chapter Begins
Netflix’s confirmation of Season 7 wasn’t entirely unexpected — after all, Virgin River has become one of the platform’s most consistently popular originals. But what took fans by surprise was the behind-the-scenes update from Breckenridge herself: filming is already well underway. In fact, production kicked off in spring 2025, and several cast members have been spotted filming in the picturesque landscapes of British Columbia, which once again doubles as the show’s idyllic small-town setting.When Will Season 7 Premiere?
So when exactly can we expect the new season to drop? While Netflix hasn’t pinned down an official premiere date, all signs point to a late 2025 release — likely in November or December. This aligns with the show’s traditional end-of-year slot, which it has followed since Season 3. The timing also fits perfectly with the show’s cozy aesthetic — warm fires, snow-dusted cabins, and emotional drama tailor-made for a winter binge.

Alexandra Breckenridge hinted at this in a recent Instagram Q&A, saying:
“We’ll definitely be back on your screens before the year is out — and it’s going to be a season full of surprises.”
