Netflix has renewed Virgin River for season 8 even before season 7's release, making it the longest-running original series on the platform.
The cliffhangers from season 6 may not all continue into season 8, with one involving Mel's possible surrogacy becoming less likely due to the early renewal.
Mel and Jack's journey towards parenthood might be delayed until season 8, as the show tends to extend storylines and the original book series hints at them having biological children.
Fans speculate on the outcome of the surrogacy plotline and hope to see Mel and Jack start a family on their own terms in Virgin River season 8.
