Virgin River is returning with its Season 7 on March 12. Fans of the romance drama have been curious about the future of Virgin River since its sixth season, which aired in December 2024.
The sixth season quickly picked up on its viewer base and remained a steady presence on Netflix’s streaming charts. With an ensemble cast and signature Virgin River storytelling, the show is set for a return.
Virgin River Season 7 release date
The show premiered with its debut season back in 2019, and since then, it has carved a reputation through consistency. It had six seasons to its name, and now a seventh adds to this track record.
The series remains firmly in place, yet there was an extended wait for Season 7. Apart from the fan curiosity due to the prolonged wait, another factor building up anticipation surrounding the new season pertains to how Season 6 concluded.
The finale of Season 6 put the unsettling spotlight on Charmaine. Her strange disappearance remains a central question. When Jack checks on her, he finds signs that something bad may have happened.
But the episode does not disclose what really happened. Therefore, viewers will walk into Season 7 with this uncertainty hanging. This now stretches across a longer gap than viewers are used to, making the March 2026 return especially highlighted among fans.

Season 7, like previous seasons, focuses on Mel Monroe and Jack Sheridan. The dynamic between these two important characters has been an integral part of the show.
This grounds the show even as new storylines and characters are introduced. Season 7 is expected to continue exploring their life together while addressing the unresolved threads left behind in the previous finale.
Virgin River Season 7 cast
The series will also bring back much of its familiar ensemble. Returning cast members include Kai Bradbury and Kandyse McClure. It will also include Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Zibby Allen, and Sarah Dugdale.
Marco Grazzini and Colin Lawrence will also step in, in key roles. Bringing back these familiar faces also adds to the sense of continuity and consistency for viewers.
Apart from the returning cast, new faces will bring life to Virgin River Season 7. The ensemble will include Sara Canning, who joins in the role of a police officer. She will be seen as an investigator for the state medical board.
Her arrival brings new attention to Doc and his medical practice, opening the door to more versatile storylines, whereas the previous Seasons leaned on personal storylines.
