The next chapter of Virgin River is officially underway. Netflix has confirmed that Season 8 began filming on April 22 in Vancouver, ending weeks of speculation among fans.

The quick restart comes just a month after Season 7 premiered, underscoring the show’s ongoing popularity. Production is expected to wrap in August, setting the stage for a likely early 2027 release.

While the wait may feel long, it’s relatively short compared to other series. And given the stakes after Season 7, anticipation is at an all-time high.

The finale left viewers with major cliffhangers: Mel and Jack are facing a difficult journey with their newborn’s health, and Brady’s fate remains uncertain after a serious accident. With so much unresolved, Season 8 promises high emotion and long-awaited answers.
