Virgin River Season 7: Alexandra Breckenridge Shares Exciting Release Update
Virgin River fans have new reasons to be excited as the widely loved Netflix drama prepares to return for its seventh season. Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays central character Mel Monroe, recently delighted her 1.3 million Instagram followers with behind-the-scenes glimpses and hints that filming is nearly complete. This has only heightened anticipation for when viewers might finally return to the small, scenic Northern California town that has captivated audiences since its debut.
What’s Next for Mel and Jack?
The story of Virgin River centers around Mel Monroe, a nurse practitioner who moves to a remote town seeking a fresh start after personal tragedy. Her journey intertwines with Jack Sheridan, the local bar owner portrayed by Martin Henderson. Over six seasons, their relationship has been a complex mix of heartache and hope, culminating in a long-awaited wedding at the end of season six. As fans look forward to season seven, they can expect fresh twists, shocking betrayals, lingering family drama, and the unraveling of a mysterious disappearance that promises to keep viewers on edge. You can read more about Mel’s dramatic journey and character arcs on the Daily Record’s special coverage.
Alexandra Breckenridge’s Instagram Update
On Instagram, Breckenridge shared a humorous and heartfelt video from the set, saying, "Good morning, I feel like I’m on day 857 of filming season 7." With the sounds of laughter echoing in the background, she added, "Can you hear that? There’s people laughing outside. They seem to be having a grand old time." She finished by teasing, "We’re almost done! Can you believe it? I can’t even believe it. Almost to the finish line."
Breckenridge went on to speculate about when fans might expect the next chapter: “I keep wondering if they’re going to put the show out this year. What do you guys think? Probably, right?” She added, "I mean, if they have it, they’ll probably drop it this year, 2025," though she also clarified she had no official word from Netflix, admitting, "I’m the last to know…"
When is Season 7 Coming to Netflix?
While there is no official premiere date yet, all signs point toward a shorter wait than expected. Filming for season seven is scheduled to conclude by June 26, 2025, after which the show will move into post-production. For context, season six wrapped filming in May 2024 and debuted in December—just seven months later. Based on this pattern, eager fans are speculating a possible release in early 2026 or even as soon as late 2025, depending on Netflix’s final decision and the post-production process. More details on timelines and behind-the-scenes news can be found on What’s on Netflix.
What to Expect in Season 7
Season seven will feature 10 episodes and has brought on new director Audrey Cummings, alongside fan-favorite directors like Andy Mikita and Monika Mitchell. Filming largely takes place in Vancouver, as confirmed by multiple industry reports. For fans worried about the fate of the show, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has reassured audiences there are currently no plans to end Virgin River. “No plans to wrap up the series anytime soon, and as long as people keep coming back for it, we’re proud and happy to keep telling these stories,” Smith recently told Deadline.
