Virgin River fans, get ready for some thrilling news! After months of eager anticipation, it’s now official: Virgin River Season 7 has officially begun filming!
On March 12, 2025, Martin Henderson — better known to fans as Jack Sheridan — delighted viewers by sharing a heartfelt video on Instagram from his trailer on set. In the clip, Henderson unboxes a thoughtful gift package from Netflix, featuring rechargeable hand warmers, lip balm, moisturizer, and a miniature suitcase — perfect for those chilly Vancouver filming days.
But the biggest gift wasn’t what was in the box — it was Henderson’s exciting announcement about Season 7.
Martin Henderson Promises the Best Season Yet
In the video, Henderson expressed his excitement to be back on set and emphasized his gratitude to the devoted fans who have made Virgin River a worldwide phenomenon. He pledged to make Season 7 “the best season yet”, promising a “ripper” of a new chapter filled with heart, drama, and cozy moments fans have come to love.
Read Henderson’s full caption from his post:
“Season 7 of #VirginRiver !!!!! Day 1 — here we go…!!!! So stoked to be back at it doing what I love for all of you who love the show. Thank you @netflix for your thoughtful gifts and the continued support, and thank YOU to all the fans who keep us coming back here to make this cozy, heartfelt show. It’s an honor to be putting this thing out there for y’all.”
Filming Schedule and Release Timeline
According to Hollywood North Buzz, filming for Virgin River Season 7 began on March 12, 2025, and is scheduled to continue through June 26, 2025. The production timeline — nearly four months — closely mirrors the filming schedule for Season 6.
However, despite the on-schedule production, fans may need to manage their expectations. Netflix previously indicated that Season 7 might not premiere until sometime in 2026, as it was absent from the platform’s list of 2025 releases.
Still, there’s hope! As fans will remember, Netflix originally stated that Season 6 wouldn’t be released in 2024, but it surprised everyone by dropping in December 2024. So, fingers crossed that Virgin River delivers another pleasant surprise!
What Lies Ahead for Virgin River?
There’s even more excitement brewing for Virgin River fans:
-
Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel Monroe) recently revealed that she is under contract with Netflix for up to eight seasons — and the story could potentially expand even beyond that.
-
Netflix is also developing a potential prequel series about Mel’s parents set in the 1970s, although no official updates have been shared yet.
Meanwhile, fans are still reeling from the Season 6 finale cliffhangers — including Mike’s proposal to Brie, Mel and Jack’s possible adoption, and the unanswered questions surrounding Charmaine’s fate.
🎥 With filming officially underway, Virgin River’s future looks brighter — and more dramatic — than ever before.
