"Virgin River" continued its tenure as Netflix's longest-running live-action scripted drama series with its recently dropped seventh season. And it looks like the beloved show will be continuing that record-breaking reign with an already announced eighth season, which means more Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), more Jack (Martin Henderson), more Doc (Tim Matheson), more Hope (Annette O'Toole) and all the rest of your favorite small-town characters.
Netflix announced the upcoming season just days after season 7 wrapped production in July 2025: “On behalf of myself and the whole 'Virgin River' family, we’re eternally grateful to Netflix and to the fans for allowing us to continue on this journey with these beloved characters,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Tudum at the time.
