Virgin River fans, brace yourselves. The wait is over, and the news is finally out—straight from the man himself. Martin Henderson, who plays the fan-favorite

Jack Sheridan, just confirmed what millions of loyal viewers have been desperately waiting to hear: Season 7 is officially underway, and it’s shaping up to be

the most transformative season yet. Whether you’ve been hoping for wedding bells, new beginnings, or one last twist in the tale, Henderson’s announcement sent

the fandom into overdrive—and for good reason.

Let’s break down everything Henderson revealed, what it means for the future of Virgin River, and why this season could be the most emotional ride yet.

 The Announcement That Set Social Media on Fire: “Jack Is Back!”

In a recent live interview that quickly went viral, Martin Henderson ended weeks of speculation with a single sentence that electrified fans:
“I can officially say that Jack is back, and Season 7 is going to shake things up.”

Those words were all it took. Twitter exploded with hashtags like #JackIsBack and #VirginRiverSeason7, while TikTok flooded with fan theories and emotional reactions. After months of silence surrounding the beloved actor’s future with the show, this was the confirmation everyone needed.

But Henderson didn’t stop there—he went even deeper, teasing intense storylines, major turning points, and a few game-changing surprises.

 Jack and Mel: Happily Ever After… Or Not?

After years of emotional highs and lows, fans finally saw Jack and Mel get engaged. But if you thought Season 6 ended on a hopeful note, think again.

“Jack and Mel are in a very different place now,” Henderson revealed. “The choices they make in Season 7 will surprise people.”

What could that mean? Are they struggling with parenthood? Facing new trauma? Or even—dare we say—thinking about leaving Virgin River?

Expect their relationship to hit serious turbulence, as past wounds resurface and fresh dilemmas push their love to its limits. Henderson hinted that the upcoming season won’t just explore their romance—it’ll test it like never before.

Behind the Scenes: Filming Is Already in Full Swing

Henderson also confirmed that production on Season 7 has already begun—and the energy on set is electric.

“We’ve been back on location for a while now,” he said. “There’s a real buzz. Everyone feels like this is going to be a standout season.”

Alongside Henderson, key cast members like Alexandra Breckenridge (Mel), Tim Matheson (Doc), and Annette O’Toole (Hope) have all returned. But that’s not all—Henderson teased the arrival of new characters who may disrupt the delicate balance in Virgin River.

“There are some new folks in town,” he said. “And they’re not exactly who they seem.”

Could this signal new villains? Hidden pasts? Or the return of old enemies?

 Is Season 7 the Final Chapter?

One question has been looming large: Is this the end of Virgin River? When pressed, Henderson offered a cryptic—but telling—response.

“Every show has its life span,” he said. “Let’s just say fans should cherish what’s coming.”

It’s not confirmation that the series is ending—but it’s not a denial either. With Netflix known for wrapping up shows at their peak, fans are preparing themselves emotionally. If Season 7 is the final ride, it promises to go out with a bang.
