It\u2019s been all quiet on the Virgin River front for the past few months since filming wrapped in Canada, but last week, we finally got some insight into the show\u2019s future, covering both seasons 7 and 8.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s begin with season 7, which is now confirmed for 2026, no doubt disappointing any fans who were hoping it might sneak in as a Christmas release. Alexandra Breckenridge has been on the press circuit promoting her upcoming Netflix film My Secret Santa, due out on December 3rd.\u00a0<\/p>\n

One such interview was with Entertainment Weekly<\/a>, which published a portion of their interview with Breckenridge discussing all things\u00a0Virgin River.\u00a0The star discusses the big cliffhanger from season 6 and reveals her favorite cliffhanger for the season was Mike learning about Brie\u2019s affair with Brady and still proposing. Meanwhile, Mel and Jack\u2019s journey to parenthood continues in season 7 as they explore adoption and face new complications when Marley asks them to take her baby\u2014a storyline Breckenridge says \u201cdoes not disappear.\u201d<\/p>\n

As for when season 7 will arrive, Breckenridge hints Netflix will likely hold it until 2026, noting that Stranger Things\u2019 final season will likely dominate the streamer\u2019s 2025 lineup. The full quote was, \u201cThere is a lot going on this year for Netflix. The finale of Stranger Things\u00a0as a series is going to be a big deal. If I was an intelligent person, guessing, I would say I wouldn\u2019t roll Virgin River out until the new year.\u201d<\/p>\n

Virgin River Season 8 Filming Window Revealed?<\/p>\n

First spotted by The Viewers\u2019 Perspective<\/a>, the website Charitybuzz<\/a> may have revealed when season 8 of the show will go into production.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, Netflix has already confirmed season 8 of the show back in mid-July 2025<\/a>, ahead of filming coming to an end. The show is coming back for another 10 episodes, and the WGA recently reported that the writer\u2019s room for the new season is now officially open, with it labeled as the 2026-2027 season<\/a>. That said, there\u2019s been no word on a production start yet. We know many cast members have previously expressed a preference for filming during the Spring and Summer months (Canadian winters can be cruel!), and it looks like they\u2019re getting their wish.\u00a0<\/p>\n

For those unfamiliar with Charitybuzz, the website lets you bid on or buy unique experiences in support of various charities. The full description for the Virgin River experience reads:<\/p>\n

\u201cStep into the world of Virgin River with an exclusive set visit for two, offering a rare behind-the-scenes experience on the beloved Netflix series. Join Benjamin Hollingsworth (Dan Brady) and Zibby Allen (Brie Sheridan) for an unforgettable insider\u2019s look at the making of this fan-favorite drama.<\/p>\n

Filmed amid the stunning landscapes of British Columbia, Virgin River captures the charm and spirit of small-town life that has captivated audiences worldwide. This unique opportunity allows fans to explore the authentic set, meet key cast members, and gain firsthand insight into the production of Season 8.<\/p>\n

Perfect for devoted viewers and television enthusiasts alike, this exceptional experience brings the romance, drama, and scenic beauty of Virgin River to life\u2014offering a truly memorable day in the heart of the show\u2019s enchanting world.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps most pertinent for those not intending to bid on the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is the requirement to attend the private meet-and-greet between April 1st, 2026, and July 31st, 2026. While we can\u2019t label these as the official filming dates, they do provide a very good window into when the eighth season will enter production, given that it\u2019s a set visit\u2026<\/p>\n

If you want to bid on the\u00a0meet-and-greet to support Melanoma Canada, you\u00a0can do so through October 22nd, 2025<\/a> \u2014be quick!<\/p>\n

Moving purely into speculation, we\u2019ve seen as of late that Netflix likes to debut new seasons shortly before production\u00a0begins, and that has been the case for\u00a0Virgin River in most prior seasons. If that\u2019s the case here, don\u2019t be surprised for a Spring return (maybe even in March or April).<\/p>\n
