Following the renewal news, showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Tudum that there is "a lot more to go" with the characters of Virgin River, with season 7 following Mel and Jack's married life.

He added: "I think we’ve only just begun to see Mel and Jack function as a married couple, which is exciting. [Season 7 will] explore the honeymoon phase for them as they’re building their lives on the farm, which can come with its own obstacles."

But thankfully, fans won't need to worry about Mel and Jack's relationship, with Smith saying he couldn't imagine a scenario where the pair break up.

He continued: "It forces you to dig a little bit deeper into, well, what other issues can they have in their relationship? Especially when you want to keep it through the romance lens. I think Alex and Martin play all of those [moments so well], it’s just resting on emotional stakes as opposed to will they, won’t they."

There is plenty more exploration for other characters too, especially with Hope and Doc.

Smith explained: "Getting to tell love stories between two people at that age is something that television never does. Or if they do, it’s for comic relief or something. So the more that we get to grow those characters and dig into them, it just feels special. It feels like nothing else anybody is doing on television."
