Keeping a yearly release schedule since 2019 (an amazing feat considering the delays of streaming TV), Virgin River‘s sixth season offered a few momentous changes. Mel and Jack’s will-they-won’t-they finally came to the ultimate conclusion as the duo wed, and it was the perfect culmination of years of storytelling. However, Mel’s journey of discovery is far from over, and she has only just begun to scratch the surface of her family history. The ending of Virgin River season 6 was designed to tease a potential seventh, and Neflix has already taken the suspense away by renewing the show.

Virgin River Season 7 Latest News

Netflix Renews Virgin River For A Landmark Seventh Season

After tying the record for longest-running English language show in Netflix history with its season 7 renewal, the latest news confirms a series regular won’t return for Virgin River‘s next season. The news was broken by showrunner Patrick Sean Smith who flatly stated that Mark Ghanimé will not be reprising his role as Cameron in the upcoming seventh season. No reason was given for the actor’s depature, but the opportunity for Ghanimé to return in the future has been left on the table.

Read Smith’s full comments here:

I love Mark, who plays Cameron, and I love the character of Cameron. He will always be a part of the world, and I would love to see his character back, but he won’t be a series regular in Season 7, unfortunately.

Virgin River Season 7 Is Confirmed

Season 7 Was Confirmed Before Season 6 Debuted

Even as other Netflix originals take years between seasons (Stranger Things, Wednesday, ETC), Virgin River has been the streamer’s most consistent hit.

A production timeline hasn’t been announced for season 7 yet, but it will need to follow the schedule of previous years if the show is to be delivered by late 2025. Except for seasons 3 and 4, which arrived in July, every season of Virgin River has dropped between September and December. As such, it’s safe to assume that season 7 will begin filming in the first few months of 2025 and will probably wrap around midsummer. Until more information is available, it’s expected that season 7 will premiere in fall 2025.

A Heap Of Drama Comes To Town In Season 7

Unsurprisingly, Virgin River season 6 was jam-packed with a host of twists and turns that will inform the plot of the upcoming season 7. Mel and Jack’s marriage was a satisfying next step for the duo that have anchored the show since episode one, and though their relationship is strong, drama swirls around them like a hurricane. Perhaps the most pressing issue going into season 7 is the fate of Charmaine (Jack’s old romantic fling). She returned to his life after the twins debacle, but so too did her old beau, Calvin.
