Anger Erupts!! Netflix Fans Rejoice: ‘Virgin River’ Star Signals When You’ll Really Be Watching Season 7

Netflix fans have been eagerly awaiting the return of Virgin River for its seventh season, and recent statements from star Alexandra Breckenridge have provided some clarity on the matter. While the official release date has not been confirmed, Breckenridge hinted that the new season may premiere in early 2026. She noted that Netflix’s schedule is packed with other major releases, such as the finale of Stranger Things, and suggested that Virgin River might be released in the new year to avoid competing with these high-profile shows.

The delay in the release of Season 7 has sparked frustration among fans, especially after the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 6. In that episode, Jack discovers something shocking in the twins’ room at Charmaine’s house, leaving viewers in suspense. Breckenridge teased that she knows what caused Jack’s reaction but emphasized that it’s “too big” to reveal at this time. EW.com

Despite the wait, fans can look forward to the continuation of Mel and Jack’s journey toward parenthood. After several failed attempts to conceive, they are considering adopting a baby from Marley, a storyline that will remain central to the upcoming season. Breckenridge confirmed that this plotline will not disappear and will bring new challenges for the couple to navigate. EW.com

While the delay is disappointing, fans can take solace in knowing that the cast and crew are working hard to deliver a season that will be worth the wait. As Breckenridge mentioned, “Virgin River” is a show that draws people in with its community and connection, and Season 7 promises to continue that tradition. EW.com

In the meantime, fans can catch Breckenridge in Netflix’s upcoming holiday film My Secret Santa, premiering December 3. In this film, she plays a single mother who disguises herself as Santa at a luxury ski lodge to earn money for her daughter’s Christmas wish. Breckenridge cited inspiration from Tim Allen’s The Santa Clause and embraced the challenge of wearing prosthetics, a wig, and a full Santa suit for the role. EW.com

While the wait for Virgin River Season 7 continues, fans can look forward to both the return of their favorite characters and the opportunity to see Breckenridge in a new and festive role.
