Virgin River season 7 could release sooner than you think as star shares exciting update
Virgin River is currently filming its seventh season, which could arrive on Netflix sooner than expected
Virgin River season seven could arrive sooner than anticipated, according to a recent update from star Alexandra Breckenridge.
The actress, who plays Mel Monroe, is currently filming the latest season alongside co-star Martin Henderson, who returns as Jack Sheridan following the dramatic season six cliffhanger.
The storyline picks up with Jack's ex, Charmaine (played by Lauren Hammersley), missing after failing to appear at their wedding, while Mel faces a difficult decision regarding her patient Marley's baby.
Although season seven is still in production in Vancouver with no official release date, it is expected to premiere by early 2026.
However, Breckenridge's latest update hints that fans might be able to catch new episodes of Virgin River as early as the end of 2025, as she revealed she'll be wrapping up filming soon, reports the Mirror US.
In a post on her Instagram Stories, the actress thanked fans for their messages, celebrating her 43rd birthday on Thursday, 15th May.
Breckenridge also announced plans to post more content on her YouTube channel, explaining that her busy filming schedule for Virgin River season seven has kept her from creating cooking videos and maintaining her garden.
"Because I've been so busy filming Virgin River season seven," she said, "I haven't been able to do all of my cooking videos as much as I wanted to, or keep up with the garden or anything.
"But I did start a YouTube channel, which has little to no content on it."
In a recent update, Breckenridge assured fans she'd post more videos once her schedule eases between seasons.
She teased the near completion of the current filming schedule, indicating more free time on the horizon: "Once I'm done this season, which will be soon," she then sidetracked slightly as she remarked about the state of her appearance, saying, "My hair is really dirty, it's gross.
"It's quite humid out here in Georgia, so I'm a little bit sweaty and yucky."

Returning to her plans, the actress explained: "But, once I'm done, I'm gonna start keeping up with all things gardens, cooking and chickens."
Given that Breckenridge is presently at her home in Georgia, there's speculation the Virgin River cast may enjoy a brief respite before heading back to Vancouver to put final touches on season seven.
With the current pace of production, fans are buzzing about the possibility of a late 2025 release for the beloved Netflix romance series.

Tonight, the show revealed professional rugby player Conor, 25, will take his place in the starting line-up. The Irishman said he's looking for "someone who is really sure of themselves, ambitious, a bit of a go-getter and good craic. I like dark eyes and I don't mind a dominant woman." When it comes to turn offs, he says: "Being too needy, or needing to do everything together. I like someone to be independent and do their own thing and then we come together and do our thing." In his official announcement pic, Conor is flanked by beauties Helena Ford and Megan Clarke. Earlier today, Kyle broke his silence on his exit and said: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' Masked thugs stormed a wake in Stafford and hacked at a dad with a blade in February. Kyle was one of two quizzed but released with no further action. In a video uploaded to Instagram tonight, the aspiring reality star revealed he's still hopeful of having a future on the show.

I'm a normal guy from a normal place. An opportunity arose to find love and I grabbed it with both hands, and it's been taken away from me. "I've seen the support pages and, who knows, maybe I'll get the chance to go on Casa Amor or as a bombshell, go back in and show you who I really am. Show you I'm not a bad guy. We'll see." Love Island returns Monday 9th June at 9pm on ITV2 and ITVX

Now in a new video uploaded to Instagram, the aspiring reality star revealed he's still hopeful of having a future on the show. Speaking from inside a house, he said: "I'm not a bad guy, honestly.

Love Island star sensationally axed from show after revelation he was arrested over machete attack on dad just months ago Another mourner was glassed, one struck with a metal pole, and two people run over by a car during the 15 minutes of terror at a social club in Stafford. Ashman, who lives in the town, was one of two men to be nicked on suspicion of affray then bailed. Police confirmed that after the matter had been investigated the pair were released with no further action only last month. A source said: 'This was a horrific attack which could have been even worse. 'Ashman may have signed up to one of the biggest shows on TV with this hanging over his head.' It is not suggested that Ashman, whose job involves laying and repairing water pipes, was involved in the attack. Last night he insisted he was not a violent person. Confirming his show exit, an ITV spokesman said: 'For personal reasons, Kyle will not be entering the Love Island Villa as planned.' The mass brawl broke out at The White Eagle Club on February 28. Sources said three balaclava-clad thugs armed with machetes and metal poles stormed the venue and attacked the dad over an alleged £3,000 debt. They attacked him with a blade and left him with a deep gash on his arm — with witnesses wrapping towels over it to stem the bleeding. 6 Ashman described himself as a 'normal guy' Credit: Instagram/@kyleashmantr 6 Kyle has come out to say he is 'not a violent person' Credit: Instagram Pals say he has suffered tendon damage and is unable to drive due to his injuries. Witnesses said the mob made off in a white Vauxhall Astra waiting outside. Around 70 mourners, some elderly and some children, had gathered to pay their respects to local Stanley Reid. Our source continued: 'This seemed to be a targeted attack — they knew who they were looking for and where he was. "People wrapped a towel around the man's injury while waiting for emergency services. Children were taken into a room and locked in there to keep them away from the violence. 'People were screaming and crying in fear. They had gathered to pay final farewells to a man who was really well-respected within the local community. 6 The mass brawl broke out at The White Eagle Club in Stafford 6 Masked thugs stormed into the wake and attacked a dad-of-two with a blade 'They could have killed someone that night. They are nothing but scumbags. They ruined what was a lovely send-off for a good person.' Staffordshire Police said yesterday: 'We were called to a social club on Riverway, Stafford, at 7.40pm on Friday, February 28 following reports that someone had been glassed outside and a fight was taking place. Some of the men involved were wearing masks and were carrying weapons. 'Two men went to hospital after suffering injuries at the scene. Both have since been discharged. 'A man and a woman suffered minor injuries at the scene but did not want any medical treatment. 'Officers have reviewed CCTV footage and have been actively carrying out inquiries to find out more about what happened. 'A 22-year-old man, from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of wounding and affray. Another man, also 22 and from Stafford, was arrested on suspicion of affray. 'Both were questioned in custody and bailed with conditions while our inquiries continue.' A force spokeswoman later confirmed that both suspects had been released with no further action last month. Ashman said last night: 'I fully co-operated with this police investigation and made it very clear that I had no involvement in this incident. 'I am not a violent person and any suggestion otherwise is a mischaracterisation.' A show source said: 'ITV were entirely unaware of Kyle's past and, as he was not charged, it was not flagged as part of Love Island's stringent DBS checks. Suspects released 'It's only right he can now return home to the UK to share his side of the story and therefore bosses took the decision that it was best for him not to enter the villa.' Contestants typically sign up months in advance of the show, which is celebrating its tenth anniversary. The launch episode of last year's summer series was watched by 3.3 million fans. ITV yesterday officially announced the new line-up and released images of contestants, with Ashman showing off his six-pack. Asked about the type of Love Islander he would like to couple up with, Ashman said: 'Someone who is fun, confident and just themselves.' Asked if host Maya Jama would 'hire or fire you based on your flirting skills alone', he replied: 'I'd say I'd be hired. I just go with it, find something to compliment a girl on and go from there.'

Emmerdale's Steph's future as actress announces pregnancy in sweet post
Emmerdale fans were left questioning whether Steph Milligan was pregnant after spotting actress Georgia Jay's baby bump in recent scenes Eagle eyed Emmerdale fans were left questioning whether Steph Milligan the character, or Georgia Jay, the actress, was pregnant after spotting her baby bump on the ITV soap. After weeks of speculation, Georgia announced her pregnancy in a sweet Instagram post, and fans were over the moon for the star. Not ignoring the speculation from soap fans, Georgia shared a professional photo showcasing her growing baby bump, alongside the caption: "As you've probably guessed, I've got some news to share! I know some of you have been wondering if you've been seeing a little bump on screen lately… well, it's not your imagination... I'm having a baby! We've never been so excited and a little nervous all at once. Thank you for all the love and support." Georgia's co-stars were quick to congratulate the star, as Danny Miller, who plays Aaron Dingle wrote: "What?!!!!!!!" with Michelle Hardwick adding: "Beautiful Mama." We now know actress Georgia is pregnant, but is her character Steph? At the time of writing, the character is not pregnant. However, she's been through a hard hitting storyline - with fans fearing she'd be leaving the soap. Last month, fans feared the star would leave the soap after she was adamant that she wanted appearance-altering surgery on her face, including a nose job and a brow lift. It came after she found out that her biological father was her grandfather Anthony Fox, and that Anthony had raped her mother when she was a teenager. Ever since she learned of what really happened, she's struggled to look at herself in the mirror without seeing Anthony's face. Calling herself "disgusting" and "a freak". Fans were concerned that the character would go ahead with the surgery, and would either have to leave the show or be recast. However, the character didn't go ahead with the surgery in the end, after her parents, Ruby and Caleb Milligan burst in to disrupt the appointment before it could go ahead. Steph was then notably absent from the soap, but during Monday's episode (June 2) her dad Caleb revealed that she was returning back home after spending time visiting her friend. Now Georgia has announced her pregnancy, it's clear she'll be taking a step away from the soap in the upcoming months as she takes on maternity leave. However, it is not yet known how the character will take a break from the soap during this time.
