We’ve been reporting for a short time that Virgin River is returning for season 4. Now we all know that the cast of Virgin River are going to be back on the set by the top of July 2021 just a couple of weeks after the premiere of season 3 on Netflix. 

Just to catch you up, Virgin River takes place during a fictional village in Northern California which follows Melinda Monroe who moves to become a NP . She plants her roots and gets involved all of the local drama of which there’s plenty. Season 3 hits on Friday, July 9th.

Currently in pre-production, Virgin River was quietly renewed earlier this year consistent with multiple production sites. Now we all know when the series production schedule is thanks to happen .

We’re seeing on multiple production sources that the present scheduled start for production is July 28th, 2021 with filming set to wrap on November 30th, 2021.

The show is about to once more happen in Vancouver in Canada. a number of the filming takes place in Squamish in B.C. Other filming takes place in locations like Snug Cove, New Westminster, Squamish, Agassiz, and Port Coquitlam.

Of course, it’s worth noting that in COVID-19 times (and normally for that matter) that production schedules aren’t set in stone and will adjust.

As we’ve mentioned Sue Tenney will remain because the showrunner for Virgin River season 4.

What does this mean for the discharge date for season 4 of Virgin River? Well, with production wrapped by the top of November, we could easily see the series return in summer 2022 or perhaps sooner. We expect season 2 of Sweet Magnolias early in 2022 so our greatest guess remains the summer.

As we’ve also stated before, this isn’t the primary time Virgin River has been renewed early. The show was renewed early for both season 2 and season 3 with filming starting before or soon after their respective former seasons dropped. It shows great confidence within the show which isn’t particularly normal for Netflix shows. Traditionally, you’ve got to attend a month or two after release before a choice to be made on future seasons.
