We don’t even have a release date for Virgin Rive r season 7 yet, but Netflix has confirmed Virgin River season 8 has already been green lit. The news comes a week after season 7 wrapped shooting, officially making it the longest-running original series on the streaming service.

The nice cost plus good ratings – the show has been in Netflix’s Global Top 10 English TV 30 times since the list was introduced during the show’s third season, and it’s spent 38 weeks in the Nielsen Top 10 since Season 1 – means it’s worth renewing. And that is cause for celebration.

Before Season 7 of “Virgin River” even has a premiere date, the series has been renewed for its eighth season at Netflix. An early renewal is par for the course for “Virgin River,” which was renewed for Season 7 ahead of the October 2024 release of the sixth season.
