Season seven of the hit Netflix show Virgin River could be airing on sooner than expected, as Alexandra Breckenridge drops some exciting news...
Virgin River fans have a reason to get excited as Alexandra Breckenridge - who stars as Mel Monroe in the beloved Netflix drama - has offered an exciting update on the long-awaited seventh season.
The hit romance series follows Mel, a nurse practitioner who relocates to the quiet town of Virgin River in Northern California after suffering a heartbreaking loss. There, she finds herself drawn to local bar owner and former marine, Jack Sheridan (played by Martin Henderson).
‌
Their slow burning on and off again romance has captured the hearts of viewers over the past six seasons, with the pair finally tying the knot at the end of season six.
‌
Season seven promises more twists, shocking betrayals, unresolved family drama and the unraveling of a mysterious disappearance that has left viewers on the edge of their seats.
Alexandra recently took to Instagram to share a behind-the-scenes glimpse from the set with her 1.3 million followers, hinting that production is nearly finished.
"Good morning, I feel like I'm on day 857 of filming season 7," she joked in a video update. As laughter can be heard in the background of the video, Alexandra adds: "Can you hear that? There's people laughing outside. They seem to be having a grand old time."
She then excitedly announces: "We're almost done! Can you believe it? I can't even believe it. Almost to the finish line."
‌
Alexandra went on to speculate about the possible release date for the upcoming season. "I keep wondering if they're going to put the show out this year. What do you guys think? Probably, right?" she speculated further.
"I mean, if they have it, they'll probably drop it this year, 2025," she teased.
However, she was quick to clarify her comments adding: "I don't know any information. I'm the last to know..."
‌
While fans will still have to wait for the official release date to come from Netflix and the show's producers, Alexandra's update is the strongest indication yet that fans might be seeing the seventh season sooner than they expected.
The cast gathered in Vancouver earlier this year, to start filming the show. This led viewers to speculate that the seventh season would be released earlier in late January of next year.
‌
According to a Netflix insider site, the cast will wrap up on set on June 26, after filming 10 episodes for season seven.
With filming for the sixth season spanning from February to May 2024, the production team managed to get the season edited and finished to be released just a few months later in December.
This meant season six took a total of seven months in post-production before premiering on Netflix.
This led fans to believe, by using a similar timeframe, that season seven would air on Netflix by January 2026. Although now with Alexandra's announcement, it could be sooner than we think.
