Netflix announced today that Virgin River has been renewed for a ninth season. It's another early pickup for the romantic drama, which is now officially the streamer's longest-running original scripted series by number of seasons.
Since its premiere in 2019 the series has continued to be a fan favorite, with all seven seasons ranking in the Netflix Global Top 10 English series list. It has passed the half-billion views mark, spending 28 weeks in the Global Top 10 and reaching the Top 10 in over 80 countries.
"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," said star Martin Henderson. "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."
"I'm incredibly proud of our show and couldn't be more thrilled to have the opportunity to continue into Season 9!" said star Alexandra Breckenridge. "Everyone on our production works so hard to make the world of Virgin River come alive."
"Mel, Jack, and the whole town of Virgin River have become a place that feels like coming home for viewers around the world," said Jinny Howe, Netflix's head of scripted series in the US and Canada. "Reaching Season 9 as our longest-running original scripted series, with over half a billion views, is a milestone that speaks to how deeply fans continue to love being a part of this community. Patrick Sean Smith and the entire team have done a beautiful job keeping fans engaged in this world, and we can't wait to invite [them] back for more."
Based on Robyn Carr's bestselling book series, Virgin River follows a nurse practitioner looking for a fresh start. After moving from Los Angeles to a remote northern California town, she is surprised by the welcome she receives and who she finds there.
