Virgin River is far from over.
Since its premiere in 2019, fans have fallen head over heels for the fictional Northern California town and its beloved residents — particularly nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (Alexandra Breckenridge) and bartender Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson).
The couple finally tied the knot in season 6, and this season, which premiered on Netflix on March 12, finds them starting to build a life and family together. But before the drama’s seventh season finished filming, the streamer renewed it for season 8.
“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 in July 2025.
Here’s everything to know about season 8 of Virgin River, including who will be in the cast and when it will be released.

Yes, there will be an eighth season of Virgin River. Netflix greenlit the show for another installment in July 2025, making it both the streamer’s longest-running current original scripted series and its longest-running English-language drama series.
Smith briefly touched on the drama’s longevity in a November 2023 interview with Deadline, saying that “as long as these characters are living, there are always going to be stories to tell.”

The official logline for season 8 of Virgin River hasn’t been released. However, the storyline will likely continue to follow Mel and Jack’s drive to expand their family after experiencing a miscarriage and a stillbirth in previous seasons.
“I think it’s just that sort of tug that she has to have a family,” Breckenridge told Swooon in December 2024. “It’s just really ever present with her. It’s been there from the beginning … I’m excited to watch her become a mother.”
