What to Expect from Virgin River Season 7: All the Juicy Details!

If you’re like me and powered through Virgin River Season 6 in one sitting (because let’s be real, who doesn’t binge this show?), you’re probably left sitting there wondering, “Wait, that can’t be it, right?” Especially after that jaw-dropping cliffhanger that had us all on the edge of our seats! Cliffhangers are basically Virgin River’s love language, and season 6 was no different.

Mel and Jack’s Emotional Rollercoaster

Let’s talk about the big moment from the season 6 finale: one of Mel’s pregnant patients reveals that she wants to place her baby up for adoption—and the couple she has in mind is none other than Mel and Jack! After all the heartbreak they’ve gone through, especially with the miscarriage in season 5, this news felt like a much-needed ray of sunshine. Martin Henderson, who plays Jack, reflected on this twist during an interview in December 2024, sharing that it was really interesting to see the couple go through something so dark and ultimately come out stronger and closer. He’s right! Despite the ups and downs, their bond is unshakable.

Showrunner Patrick Shan Smith also teased what’s to come in season 7. He assured fans that we won’t be seeing a breakup between Mel and Jack anytime soon—phew! Instead, season 7 will dive into deeper, more emotional storylines that will test their relationship in new ways. Fans can look forward to Mel and Jack embracing the honeymoon phase while navigating their new life on the farm, but, of course, nothing in Virgin River is ever simple. Their new life will come with its own set of challenges.

The Mysterious Cliffhanger: What’s Happening with Charmaine?

Let’s talk about Charmaine’s cliffhanger. In the final scene of season 6, Jack makes a shocking discovery in Charmaine’s nursery, but the babies are safe! What exactly happened in that nursery? Will we get the full story behind Jack’s terrifying discovery? Fans are dying to know! Patrick Shan Smith revealed that we’ll have to wait until season 7 to find out what’s really going on. One thing’s for sure: we’ll definitely see more of Charmaine’s storyline unravel in the new season.

Bri, Brady, and Mike: The Love Triangle Drama Intensifies

Now, let’s dive into Bri’s complicated love life. If you’ve been following Bri’s relationship with Brady and Mike, you know it’s already a whirlwind. Well, it’s about to get even messier in season 7. Patrick shared that the love triangle will become even more immediate and intense in the upcoming season. Gone are the days of a love rectangle! I know many of us are rooting for either Team Brady or Team Mike—so, which side are you on? For me, Mike is the safe choice, but there’s no denying that Bri and Brady have undeniable chemistry. I personally think Bri should end up with the man she truly loves, which is Brady.

Preacher’s Redemption and His Future

Another major plotline in season 6 was Preacher’s legal troubles. Instead of facing a lengthy prison sentence, he’s convicted of a less severe crime—disposing of human remains—and sentenced to 200 hours of community service. While it’s a relief compared to what fans feared, it also feels like a reflection of his morally complex character. Preacher’s always been torn between his sense of loyalty and his moral compass, and this outcome seems almost poetic for his redemption arc. Fans can expect to see Preacher’s journey continue as he remains a vital part of the Virgin River community.

When Will Season 7 Drop?

So, when can we expect season 7 to air? Netflix hasn’t given an official release date just yet, but based on the show’s usual release schedule, we’re likely looking at a late 2025 premiere. Filming is set to begin in March 2025, so we have a little while to wait. Season 7 is expected to consist of 10 episodes, which should be just enough to satisfy our Virgin River cravings while leaving us wanting more.

What Will Season 7 Bring?

It’s still too soon for an official season 7 trailer, but here’s what I expect to see:

• Mel and Jack adopting a baby: We’ll probably see some heartwarming, tear-filled moments as they take the next step toward building the family they’ve always dreamed of.
• Bri’s tangled love life: Expect more intimate moments with Brady, but will she choose him or Mike? That’s the big question.
• Emotional and dramatic moments: It’s Virgin River—we know the drama isn’t going anywhere!

Will Mel and Jack finally get the family they’ve been hoping for? What’s really going on with Charmaine’s babies? And how messy will Bri’s love triangle get? One thing’s for sure: Season 7 is going to be a wild ride!
