Virgin River's fate has been decided.
Netflix has confirmed Virgin River season 9's fate, just months after the forthcoming season 8 finished filming. The romantic drama based on Robyn Carr's book series of the same name has been a powerhouse for the platform ever since it began airing in 2019. Every season of Virgin River has brought something new to the table, as life in the titular Northern Californian town constantly evolves for its core characters. Season 7 arrived in March of this year, while season 8 wrapped filming over the summer.
Now, Netflix has officially confirmed that Virgin River season 9 is moving forward. The renewal announcement makes the romantic drama the longest-running scripted series in Netflix history. The report confirms season 9 will consist of 10 episodes, and will see showrunner Patrick Sean Smith return to head the upcoming episodes. Of course, Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson) will return to the series, leading the charge as the series enters record-breaking territory.
Check out what Henderson and Breckenridge had to say about the show's renewal:
Martin Henderson: I am so humbled and honored by the ongoing performance of Virgin River and can’t thank our fans enough for their continual support of the show. The crew and cast all work so hard to make it the best it can be, and I’m just thrilled that we will have yet another opportunity to entertain all the fans around the world.
Alexandra Breckenridge: I’m incredibly proud of our show and couldn’t be more thrilled to have the opportunity to continue into Season 9! Everyone on our production works so hard to make the world of Virgin River come alive.
