The upcoming season of Virgin River has wrapped filming, and this time, the cameras did not stay put in Vancouver. According to The Express, production took an unexpected turn to Mexico, sparking a frenzy of fan theories. With the series rooted in its picturesque Northern California setting, this sudden shift marks a bold change. Speculation is growing that Jack Sheridan, played by Martin Henderson, and Mel Monroe, portrayed by Alexandra Breckenridge, may be honeymooning south of the border, possibly inviting dramatic new plot twists.

In a tantalising preview, Netflix unveiled insights from showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, who revealed that season seven will follow Mel and Jack as they begin married life, dream of starting a family, and confront lingering grief. Meanwhile, Doc and Hope face growing threats from mysterious outsiders targeting the town’s integrity. Their origin remains unclear—whether from Mexico or somewhere disturbingly close. As emotions intensify and secrets surface, fans can breathe a sigh of relief, Virgin River is not ending yet. Netflix has officially confirmed season eight.
