‘Virgin River’ Cast Marks Last Day Of Filming For Season 7: “Fingers Crossed More To Come

After months of filming in the scenic beauty of British Columbia, the cast and crew of Virgin River have officially wrapped production on Season 7, marking an emotional and heartfelt end to one of Netflix’s most beloved dramas — at least for now. As the cameras stopped rolling, stars Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, and their castmates shared touching behind-the-scenes tributes, photos, and hopeful words for fans around the world who have made the small-town series a global hit.

Titled by some of the cast as “the most emotional wrap yet,” the final day of filming felt like both a celebration and a bittersweet goodbye. Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel Monroe) posted a reflective message to fans, writing, “Seven seasons later, I still can’t believe how far this journey has taken us. Every year, we laugh, cry, and fall in love all over again — not just with the story, but with each other. Fingers crossed, there’s more to come.”

Her post quickly went viral among the Virgin River fandom, sparking speculation about whether Netflix intends to renew the series for an eighth season. Though no official announcement has been made, the hopeful tone of Breckenridge’s words suggests the cast is eager — and ready — to continue telling the stories of Mel, Jack, and their neighbors in the quiet yet dramatic town of Virgin River.

Co-star Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan, also shared his own wrap message alongside a behind-the-scenes photo of the cast gathered for their final group hug. “It’s been one incredible ride,” he wrote. “Every season feels like a homecoming, and every ending feels like saying goodbye to family. I’m so proud of what we’ve created together. And who knows — maybe there’s still more to tell.”

Henderson went on to tease that Season 7 will be “one of the most emotional and hopeful chapters yet,” describing it as a story about healing, forgiveness, and rediscovery. “Jack’s been through hell,” he admitted. “But this season, he’s fighting to move forward — for Mel, for their family, and for himself. There’s pain, there’s joy, and there’s a lot of love. It’s everything fans love about Virgin River.”

Tim Matheson (Doc Mullins), one of the show’s longest-serving cast members, also shared a nostalgic farewell message. “When we started, we had no idea this little show would grow into what it is today,” he said. “It’s rare to work on something that touches people so deeply, and that’s because of the fans. You’ve made Virgin River what it is.” Matheson hinted that Doc’s health storyline would reach a turning point in Season 7, calling it both “heartbreaking and inspiring.”

Meanwhile, Annette O’Toole (Hope McCrea) expressed how grateful she was to still be part of the series after all these years. “Hope has been through so much — physically, emotionally, and personally,” she said in a recent interview. “This season gives her some much-needed peace. It’s about rebuilding, not just for her, but for everyone in the town.”

Behind the scenes, the emotional wrap day was filled with laughter, hugs, and shared memories. Cast members were seen signing props, taking photos in front of the iconic Virgin River clinic, and gathering for one final toast at sunset. Crew members described the atmosphere as “a family reunion wrapped in tears,” with everyone aware that, while filming was ending, the story might not be.

Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, who took over creative leadership in recent seasons, shared his own words of appreciation. “Season 7 has been a labor of love,” he said. “We went deeper into the emotional lives of these characters than ever before. It’s not just about romance — it’s about resilience, redemption, and what it really means to find home. The cast poured their hearts into every moment.”

Smith also hinted at some of the storylines that will dominate the upcoming season. “Fans can expect closure on some long-running questions, but also a few surprising new beginnings,” he teased. “We’ve planted seeds that could absolutely grow into future stories, if Netflix gives us the chance.”

Indeed, while Netflix has yet to confirm a Season 8, the network’s decision often depends on viewership data and fan response following the release of new episodes. Given the continued popularity of Virgin River — which consistently ranks among Netflix’s most-watched shows — optimism for renewal remains high.

Off-camera, Virgin River’s stars have expressed a mix of gratitude and nostalgia. Zibby Allen (Brie) posted a photo of her final day on set, writing, “End of Season 7. My heart is full. This cast, this crew, this town — what a gift. Whatever happens next, I’ll cherish every moment.”

Benjamin Hollingsworth (Brady), meanwhile, shared a humorous yet heartfelt tribute, posing with the show’s famous truck. “Seven seasons, one truck, and about a thousand small-town crises later — Brady’s still standing. Thank you to everyone who’s taken this ride with us. Let’s see if we can take one more lap.”

Fans, of course, have been quick to respond. Social media has exploded with messages of love, support, and emotional goodbyes. One fan wrote, “Virgin River feels like home. Please don’t let this be the last season!” Another added, “It’s the only show that makes me cry, smile, and believe in love again — all in one episode.”

Part of what makes Virgin River so enduring is its comforting tone — a blend of romance, community, and healing that offers an escape from the chaos of everyday life. And it’s that emotional core that the cast hopes to preserve, no matter how long the series continues.

Breckenridge summed it up best in a recent interview: “People come to Virgin River because it feels safe. It reminds us that even after heartbreak, there’s still beauty, still kindness, still love. As long as there are stories like that to tell, I’ll be here.”Virgin River star 'keeping fingers crossed' after season 7 update | TV &  Radio | Showbiz & TV | Express.co.uk
