'Virgin River' season 7 update: Alexandra Breckenridge teases wrap-up; two new characters to stir drama in town
'Virgin River' season 7
'Virgin River' fans should get ready as season 7 is almost here! Alexandra Breckenridge, who plays the beloved Mel Sheridan, recently took to Instagram to offer a lighthearted but honest update about the filming process. The actor revealed that production is nearing completion, describing it as a long but exciting journey. 'I feel like I'm on day 857 of filming Season 7… We're almost done!' she joked in her video post, visibly tired but thrilled to be approaching the finish line.
Though the OTT platform is yet to announce an official release date but Breckenridge's comments, as shared in a recent Deadline report, suggest fans might not have to wait too long. With filming nearly wrapped, speculation is high that the new season could arrive sometime in 2025.
Fresh faces bring new tension to 'Virgin River'
Season 7 won't just pick up where it left off, but it's also shaking things up with two new additions to the cast. 'The Vampire Diaries' alum Sara Canning joins as Victoria, a former police officer who was injured on duty and now works for the state medical board. Her character is expected to directly impact Doc, whose medical license was suspended at the end of last season, setting the stage for some serious tension.
Another new face is Cody Kearsley, best known for his role in 'Riverdale.' He will portray Clay, a rugged rodeo worker on a mission to find his long-lost younger sister. Clay's storyline promises to introduce a fresh emotional arc, possibly tying into some of the show's core families.
Production nears completion, release date still under wraps
While there's still no official date but all the signs point to a 2025 premiere for 'Virgin River' Season 7. The sixth season landed in December 2024 and filming for the follow up began shortly after. Breckenridge didn't confirm anything in her video but playfully asked fans whether they thought the release would happen this year but she left by keeping the mystery alive.
With returning favorites new conflicts and emotional storylines ahead, 'Virgin River' Season 7 is shaping up to be a standout chapter in the hit Netflix series. Fans will just have to stay tuned a little longer for an exact release date but if Breckenridge's excitement is anything to go by, it'll be worth the wait.

Cloudy skies can't dim joy as thousands fill nation's capital for World Pride parade
WASHINGTON — Gray skies and drizzle gave way to sunshine, multicolored flags and celebrations as the nation's capital held the World Pride parade Saturday. Tens of thousands of people participated in parades and other festivities, in defiance of what activists say is an unprecedented assault on the LGBTQ community that challenges the rights many have fought for over the years. A rainbow flag the length of three football fields flowed through the streets, carried by 500 members of the Gay Men's Chorus of Washington, D.C., to kick off the parade. Behind them, people waved Pride flags and flags representing the transgender, asexual and bisexual communities from atop a bus. Singer-songwriter and actor Reneé Rapp laughed and blew kisses from the back of a pickup truck draped with a transgender flag while Laverne Cox, a transgender actress and activist known for her role in Netflix's 'Orange is the New Black,' waved from an open convertible. 'Pride means us looking out for each other no matter what,' she declared to the crowd as the convertible rolled to a stop. 'We know how to be there for each other.' Many LGBTQ travelers have expressed concerns or decided to skip World Pride due to anxieties about safety, border policies and a hostile political climate that they say hearkens back to another time. But that did not keep international travelers and other participants away, with groups visible from Iran, Namibia, Kenya and Russia. Along the parade route, hundreds gathered outside the National City Christian Church as rainbow flags and balloons lined its steps and columns. A child with rainbow face paint blew bubbles at the base of the steps while Whitney Houston's 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody' blared from loudspeakers.' 'D.C. is already one of the biggest cities in the country for celebrating Pride,' said Cheo White, 33, from Annapolis, Maryland, 'But we are all collectively more united and turning out more because of what's happening in the White House.' Many have said the gathering has taken on a new meaning amid the Trump administration's aggressive policies against protections for transgender Americans and diversity, equity and inclusion programs. White's partner, Nick Kerver, 26, who was visiting from Toledo, Ohio, said Pride has 'always been a political tool' but has taken on more importance this year amid mounting threats to the LGBTQ community, especially transgender and nonbinary Americans.' 'It feels more important than ever,' Kerver said while wearing a rainbow hat, sunglasses and a T-shirt. 'But we also have to get involved in our local communities too.' David Begler, a 58-year-old gay man from Philadelphia, expressed disappointment that many international travelers felt unsafe visiting D.C. for World Pride but said he appreciates its presence in the city during this political climate. 'It's the perfect time to have World Pride in D.C.,' Begler said. 'We need it right now. I want us to send a message to the White House to focus on uplifting each other instead of dividing.' Stay DeRoux, 36, usually plans a day trip to D.C. Pride from her home in Fredericksburg, Virginia. But this year, she and her wife, Deenie DeRoux, planned a full weekend. ''This is a really big year,' Stay DeRoux said. 'There's been a lot of turmoil. So it's an amazing thing to be among allies, among people who love because we've experienced so much hate on a daily basis.' For the day, the idea of threats and opposition took a backseat to the celebration. Streets were closed, but filled with floats, and impromptu parties broke out with music and food in streets adjoining the parade route. Johnny Cervantes Jr., dressed in a black suit and top hat, headed to a grandstand at a church themed float to marry his partner of 28 years, Freddie Lutz, owner of Freddie's Beach Bar and Restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. Events culminate tomorrow with a rally and protest March Sunday and a giant street party and concert covering a multi-block stretch of Pennsylvania Avenue. 'This is World Pride in the best city in the world,' Mayor Muriel Bowser declared as she walked the parade hand-in-hand with her daughter, Miranda.

Have Prince Harry and Meghan Markle lost it? Royal Family source makes shocking claim after ‘fake bump' video goes viral
Meghan Markle recently took to Instagram to post a video of herself twerking while being pregnant with Princess Lili, but a Royal Palace source has reportedly told DailyMail that the general notion around the Royal Family is that Prince Harry and Markle have 'completely lost it.' The video released by Markle shows her twerking with her baby bump. She wrote in the caption, "Four years ago today, this also happened. Both of our children were a week past their due dates… so when spicy food, all that walking, and acupuncture didn't work-there was only one thing left to do!" She posted this on the occasion of Princess Lili's birthday, as Markle was pregnant with her at the time of filming this clip. According to Daily Mail, this video is being considered 'tragic' by the Royal Palace ever since it went viral on the Internet. The main aim of posting the video supposedly was to shut trolls who claim that the couple surrogated their children, but all it has done is add further fuel to the fire due to certain 'loopholes' in the video. Meanwhile, body language experts suggested that it is not physically and mentally possible for Markle to do what was being done by her in the video at that stage of pregnancy.
