Virgin River fans are rejoicing as they’ve been given exciting news about the show’s future way before the latest season has even been released.
Deadline has reported the series has already been picked up for a seventh season, two months before viewers have got their hands on season six.
The latest romantic escapades of Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson) will be releasing this December.
10 more episodes of the show have now been ordered, which will make it Netflix’s longest-running English-language drama series ever.
The cast of the show, which also includes Sarah Dugdale, Tim Matheson, Kandyse McClure, Zibby Allen and Colin Lawrence, took to to confirm the news, causing a minor meltdown among the fanbase.
“Good news, Virgin River is confirmed to come back for Season 7!” the show’s official account wrote in the caption.
“More love, drama, and small-town charm coming your way. You're very welcome.”
Based on Robyn Carr’s bestselling novels, the small-town drama has clearly become a fan-favourite amongst Netflix subscribers as hundreds of them took to the comments to share their excitement.
One thrilled viewer replied: “Congratulations @virginriverseries on your season 7 renewal!!!
“We are so so happy and excited for the cast, crew, writers, and everyone who works so hard to bring us this show! You totally deserve all the success!! Also can’t wait to see what is in store for season 6!!”
Another fan exclaimed: “Sooo pumped! Whooooo! Can't wait for December 19th!

And a third replied: “HOORAY!!!!!! Thank you for this exciting announcement!!!!! I cannot wait for A LOT more VIRGIN RIVER!!!!!!”
With its seventh season, Virgin River will surpass the likes of The Crown and House of Cards as Netflix’s longest-running English-language drama.
However, the show will have to reach an impressive nine seasons if it wants to beat Spanish drama Elite, which bowed out this year after its eighth instalment.
Virgin River season 6 will premiere Thursday, December 19 on Netflix.
