Virgin River makes Netflix history as it’s renewed for season 7

As a seasoned movie lover who has witnessed the rise and fall of countless series, I must say that the news of Virgin River‘s seventh season renewal is like a breath of fresh mountain air to me. Having binge-watched the previous six seasons multiple times, I can attest to the charm and appeal of this heartwarming drama.


I’m thrilled to share that I’ve just learned Virgin River has been extended for a seventh season, making it the longest-running English-language drama series on Netflix from my perspective – a devoted fan!

The upcoming season 6 of the show is set for release in December, featuring the wedding of characters Mel Monroe, played by Alexandra Breckenridge, and Jack Sheridan, portrayed by Martin Henderson. However, don’t fret, as this isn’t the last chapter for the series.

On the series’ official Instagram account, it was officially announced through a video that the show will be renewed again. The cast members, clearly thrilled about the extension, expressed their joy and anticipation for the show’s upcoming episodes.

The video captured the group members taking turns to share some news, starting with a gentle nudge about the upcoming season 6. Later, Henderson unveiled a hidden detail about another small town secret.

Following some playful banter, actor Ben Hollingsworth eventually made it official by displaying a cardboard sign that read “Virgin River… Season 7.” (Note: This is a paraphrase of the original sentence to make it more natural and easier to read.)

After catching up on the latest updates, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith hinted to Tudum that there are many more stories left to tell about these characters. He also suggested that the upcoming seventh season will delve deeply into the lives of Jack and Mel as they navigate their new married life.

Speaking as an enthusiastic viewer, I’m thrilled to share that Season 7 promises a delightful journey into the blossoming phase of our favorite couple settling down on their farm. However, this new beginning may also bring unique challenges they need to overcome.

However, he reassured everyone that even with those challenges, there’s no need for fans to worry excessively about their union falling apart.

“I can’t imagine creating a scenario where you think Mel and Jack are going to break up,” he said.

This situation invites you to explore more complex aspects of their relationship beyond the romantic angle. Particularly when you’re viewing it through a romantic lens, it becomes necessary to delve deeper and consider other potential issues. I believe Alex and Martin portray these intricate moments brilliantly; instead of focusing on whether they will or won’t be together, the narrative is built around their emotional struggles.

Virgin River makes Netflix history as it’s renewed for season 7

Despite several Netflix series having completed seven seasons, Virgin River has broken new ground as a record-holder when considering the service’s own classification system.

Originally marketed as a comedic series during its initial two seasons, “Orange is the New Black” – with a total of seven releases – is now classified by Netflix as having run for five seasons as a dramatic show.

Currently, Spanish-language teen drama Elite holds the top spot, boasting eight seasons, even though Virgin River takes the lead in terms of individual episodes.

Although some might question the credibility of this specific series, it’s undeniable that Virgin River remains a captivating show for viewers, making it likely that there will be more seasons in the future.

In addition, it was disclosed back in February that a spin-off show has been given the go-ahead. This upcoming series will focus on the romantic tale of Mel’s parents, Sarah and Everett.
