- Virgin River Season 7 returns to Netflix on March 12, 2026
- First-look photo shows Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) shortly after their season 6 wedding
- Netflix suggests a “real beacon of opportunity” for the couple’s parenting journey
I’m physically punching the air right now because Netflix finally confirmed it Virgin River season 7 will be released on March 12, 2026.
If you think back to the season 6 cliffhanger, our romantic leads Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) finally got married. But their wedding left us with five major cliffhangers.
The shift to a spring release signals another time jump in the fictional city, and that means one of said cliffhangers could be answered incredibly quickly.
Opinion: Mel and Jack’s surrogate cliffhanger could be answered early in Virgin River season 7
Spoilers for Virgin River season 6 ahead!
I’m talking, of course, about Mel and Jack’s surrogacy dilemma. At the end of season 6, Mel’s surrogate patient shows up at the cabin after her wedding – the parents the couple have been working with all season long pull out of the adoption.
The surrogate wants Mel to have the baby, which leaves her stunned. In true Netflix fashion, we never found out how she actually felt about the proposal.
From our first-look photo, enough time has passed since the wedding for Mel and Jack to be happily married… and bliss means no problems. If this is true, we can assume that the couple has made a decision about the child.
Other cliffhangers to watch for include Brie (Zibby Allen) deciding whether to marry Mike (Marco Grazzini), Brady getting his money back from Lark (Elise Gatien), Doc (Tim Matheson) possibly having his surgery taken away from him, and Charmaine (Lauren Hammersley) disappearing off the face of the earth.
All being well, Mel and Jack become parents in 2026, something that happened in the original book series much earlier. Come on Netflix, I know you’ve put up with us for a very good reason.
