What This Means For Virgin River Season 7
Virgin River Season 7 Could Still Return This Year
SinceVirgin Riverdebuted its first season in 2019, the series has maintained a rate of releasing one season per year. The production for season 6 started in February 2024 and wrapped up in June before dropping in December, while season 5 was dropped in September 2023, with filming taking place in summer 2022.

Our Take On Virgin River Season 7
The New Season Will Be Packed
The wayVirgin Riverseason 6 endedhas left plenty to look forward to in season 7. Mel and Jack, who have the central storyline in the show, are faced witha sticky situation as newlywedsin the season 6 finale. A very pregnant Marley asks them to adopt her baby in fear that the current couple won’t come through. Meanwhile, Brie, Brady, and Mike’s love triangle gets more complicated, and the clinic has its own drama waiting to unfold in season 7.
Needless to say, the new season has a lot to unpack, and it doesn’t look like Netflix will let viewers down with a long wait. Filming is expected to wrapat the end of June. The small delay on the start date is more consistent with the show’s track record than anything alarming, and hopefully, more updates will come asVirgin Riverseason 7’s production is underway.
