The American series makes a comeback for its sixth season on Netflix, soon setting a peculiar record for the streaming platform.

It’s becoming increasingly uncommon to see a Netflix-produced series span multiple seasons. Across all categories, Orange is the New Black currently holds the record as the longest-running Netflix original with 91 episodes. However, focusing solely on dramas (the former being categorized as a dramedy), the record previously held by House of Cards is about to be surpassed.

With the release of its sixth season centered on the wedding of Mel and Jack on December 19, 2024, Virgin River is poised to become the longest English-language drama on the streaming service. The series has been renewed for a seventh season consisting of ten episodes, bringing the total to 74 episodes, thereby overtaking other dramatic series such as House of Cards (73 episodes) and The Crown (50 episodes).

Virgin River is based on Robyn Carr’s 19-volume literary saga. The show continues to capture the audience’s attention, consistently ranking in the top 10 following each season’s release. The cast includes Alexandra Breckenridge (This is Us, American Horror Story) and Martin Henderson (Grey’s Anatomy) in lead roles.

Mel, a grieving nurse, answers an ad to work in the remote town of Virgin River in California, hoping to leave her painful memories behind. However, she learns that fitting in isn’t as easy as it seems, despite the welcoming locals, and she must first heal from her past.
