Filming for season seven of the hit Netflix show began earlier this month in Vancouver, British Columbia. Martin shared the announcement on social media. “Hi guys, it’s a very auspicious moment. It is day one of season seven of Virgin River,” he said in a video posted on Instagram, adding that he was “really excited” for the new season, which he hopes will be the “best yet”.

The romance-drama, which began in 2019, follows nurse Mel Monroe who moves to the idyllic and remote Northern Californian town of Virgin River in search of a fresh start after her husband’s death. But the quiet town isn’t as peaceful as she first thought, with drug kingpins, murders and kidnappings all common occurrences.

One of the central storylines is the romance between Mel and local bar owner Jack, who tied the knot in season six.

According to showrunner Patrick Sean Smith, season seven will see the newlyweds explore the “honeymoon phase as they’re building their lives on the farm, which can come with its own obstacles”.

“I think we’ve only just begun to see Mel and Jack function as a married couple, which is exciting,” he told Tudum.

He also said that he “can’t imagine creating a scenario where you think Mel and Jack are going to break up,” adding: “It forces you to dig a little bit deeper into, well, what other issues can they have in their relationship? Especially when you want to keep it through the romance lens. I think Alex and Martin play all of those [moments so well], it’s just resting on emotional stakes as opposed to will they, won’t they.”
