Sharing a candid moment in a video posted on her Instagram Stories on March 25, the 42-year-old Netflix star gave fans a little taste of what's coming next. "I’m just getting ready for bed here. I’ve been working today," she said with a warm smile. "I know some of you are probably dying to know what's going on, and I can’t show you everything. But hey, I can give you a little something." Alexandra went on to reveal that the cast had done table reads earlier in the day, which she described as "super exciting."

A Glimpse Into Vancouver Filming

Alexandra’s not one to keep all the secrets to herself. On March 17, she gave fans another sneak peek into the world of Virgin River by sharing a video from the set in Vancouver, Canada. In the clip, she was joined by her on-screen love interest, Martin Henderson, who plays Jack Sheridan. The two posed together in Mel’s cabin, with Martin, 50, giving a friendly wave to the camera.

“Where could we possibly be?” Alexandra playfully asked as she panned the camera around the cozy cabin. It’s moments like these that remind us why fans love the show so much—it’s not just about the drama; it’s about the camaraderie and connection between the characters.

New Faces Joining the Cast

Just days before Alexandra’s update, Netflix dropped some big news about season 7: two new characters are joining the cast. On March 14, the streaming giant announced that Sara Canning and Cody Kearsley would be joining the Virgin River family.

Sara, 37, will step into the role of Victoria, a former police officer who now works as an investigator for the state medical board. When Victoria arrives in Virgin River to investigate Doc’s practice, she finds more than just a case to solve. "She might just catch up with an old friend—or maybe pursue something more," Netflix teased.

Cody, 34, is set to play Clay, a rugged and athletic newcomer who commands attention whenever he walks into a room. Clay has experience working in the rodeo circuit, and his backstory includes a long search for his younger sister, whom he hasn’t seen since he was a teenager. This character promises to add a layer of mystery and excitement to the new season.

Changes to the Cast

While there’s plenty to look forward to, there’s also some news that might leave fans feeling a bit bittersweet. It was announced that Mark Ghanime, who plays Cameron Hayek, won’t be returning as a series regular for season 7.

“I love Mark, who plays Cameron, and I love the character of Cameron,” showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told TVLine in December 2024. “He will always be a part of the world, and I would love to see his character back, but he won’t be a series regular in season 7, unfortunately.”

What’s Next for Virgin River?

As fans eagerly anticipate the new season, they’ll be delighted to know that familiar faces like Tim Matheson, Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Zibby Allen, Sarah Dugdale, Marco Grazzini, Kai Bradbury, and Kandyse McClure are all set to return.

Patrick Sean Smith shared his vision for the upcoming season, saying, “There’s a lot more to go here with these characters. I think we’ve only just begun to see Mel and Jack function as a married couple, which is exciting. [Season 7] will explore the honeymoon phase for them as they’re building their lives on the farm, which can come with its own obstacles.”

While Netflix hasn’t yet announced a premiere date for Virgin River season 7, fans can revisit seasons 1 through 6, currently streaming on the platform.
