What we know so far About Virgin River Season 7

Virgin River season 7 is all anyone can talk about after season 6 ended on major cliffhangers. Season 6 picked up a couple of months after season 5’s Christmas-themed episodes and focused majorly on Mel and Jack's wedding as well as the lead-up to it. 

At the same time, the season also delved deeper into Mel's relationship with her long-lost father and her parents' past. Apart from the wedding, the show dived into the lives of the other characters, like doc’s medical license getting taken away after a malpractice case was lodged against him. 

Also, Brie, Brady, and Mike were entangled in a love triangle. However, the major cliffhanger came when Jack went to check up on his ex-gf Charmaine after her baby daddy Calvin threatened her. He found that her home had been ransacked and she as well as her kids were missing.

What is the plot of Virgin River Season 7?

Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith has said that there’s a lot more to be revealed about these characters. As for Mel and Jack, he added that the marriage is just the beginning for them and that in the next season we will see them function as a married couple. 

In season 7, the honeymoon phase will be explored and we will see them “building their lives on the farm, which can come with its own obstacles,” the showrunner said in an interview with Tudum. He also revealed that the next season will also explore Mel’s decision to be a midwife. 

Season 7 will pick up one or two hours after season 6’s ending. So, there will be no time jumps this time around. As for the cliffhangers, Smith has confirmed in an interview with Deadline that Charmaine's kids will be safe and that the next season will focus more on the “characters that are reacting to the circumstances that result from the cliffhanger that are brought back into our story.”

Fans who want to know if more weddings are coming up will be sad because Smith has said that it is unlikely. However, he said that “sometimes the idea finds its way into couples, so exploring it felt like even more of a way of bringing our supporting characters into the event itself by them evaluating or reevaluating their own individual or couple relationship to marriage.”

But there will be at least one baby in the next season. After all, in the season 6 finale we saw Marley requesting Mel to adopt her unborn baby after another couple backed out. As for Brie, Brady, and Mike, Smith said, “We’ll continue to explore that relationship with Brie and Brady as well as Mike, and looking at the three of them as more of an immediate love triangle.”

Interestingly, Smith teased that season 7 will deal with medicine as it is in our current scenario as well. He said, “I think what Virgin River has done well as far as how it reflects on small town medicine. I’m curious about seeing a little of the current state of medical healthcare and our realities of it seeping into that world.”

Will Virgin River Season 7 be the last?
