When is Virgin River Season 7 coming out?
Netflix didn’t announce a premiere date for Season 7. However, we do know that the upcoming season will consist of 10 episodes.

The sixth season is set to drop on December 19 with 10 episodes. The show has had a new season every year since its debut in 2019. It’s highly likely Season 7 will follow suit and debut in 2025.
Who will return for Virgin River Season 7?
Barring any deaths or surprising exits in Season 6, you can expect the core cast to return for Season 7. This includes Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel), Martin Henderson (Jack), Zibby Allen (Brie), Benjamin Hollingsworth (Brady), Tim Matheson (Doc), Annette O’Toole (Hope), Colin Lawrence (Preacher), Sarah Dugdale (Lizzie), and Kai Bradbury (Denny). If Mel’s biological father, Everett, sticks around, John Allen Nelson should be back as well.
What does this mean for the Virgin River prequel?
A Virgin River prequel focusing on the love story between Mel’s parents, Everett and Sarah, is in the works at the streamer, according to Deadline. We could be getting a double dose of Virgin River in the future with the prequel and Season 7. Here’s hoping!
The younger versions of Everett and Sarah, played by Callum Kerr and Jessica Rothe, will make their debut in Season 6. Will this be the launching pad for the prequel? Time will tell! Netflix hasn’t given an official update on the status of the prequel as of now.
