Netflix has officially renewed the hit romantic drama for Season 8, well ahead of the premiere of Season 7. Season 8 will consist of 10 new episodes, making Virgin River Netflix’s longest-running live-action scripted series so far at a whopping 84 episodes.

Before Season 7 of “Virgin River” even has a premiere date, the series has been renewed for its eighth season at Netflix. An early renewal is par for the course for “Virgin River,” which was renewed for Season 7 ahead of the October 2024 release of Season 6.

Virgin River, with 84 episodes expected after Season 8, overtakes Elite in volume and outpaces Grace and Frankie in total hours, given its hour-long format. That time spent onscreen translates into real engagement and it’s one reason Netflix didn’t wait long to give Season 8 the green light.
