The cozy Netflix drama topping charts right now is made for Virgin River fans. A funny story about a romantic scene between Mel and Jack in the first episode. The whole crew spent 30 minutes laughing.
WhileĀ Squid Game season 3 isĀ breaking Netflix recordsĀ all over the place, there’s a new top show on theĀ Netflix Top 10, and it’s the perfect show forĀ Virgin RiverĀ fans and those waiting to watchĀ Virgin RiverĀ season 7 on Netflix!
Earlier this week,Ā Sullivan’s Crossing,Ā the CTV and CW series, officially became the No. 1 show in the United States and bumpedĀ Squid GameĀ season 3 to the No. 2 spot on the list for the first time since the season premiered on June 27.
The first two seasons ofĀ Sullivan’s Crossing,Ā which stars Chad Michael Murray, Morgan Kohan, Scott Patterson, Tom Jackson, and Andrea Menard, were just added to Netflix in July 2025. Given the popularity of other romantic dramas likeĀ Virgin River, Sweet Magnolias,Ā and more on Netflix, it makes a lot of sense whyĀ Sullivan’s CrossingĀ is a big hit with Netflix subscribers.
The series tells the story of Maggie Sullivan, a surgeon who returns home to a small town in Canada after her career implodes. At home, a lot of things are different, but a lot of things are still the same.
Sullivan’s CrossingĀ is also based on a book series of the same name by Robyn Carr. You know the other Netflix series based on a book series by Robyn Carr? Well, that’d beĀ Virgin River!
I’m telling you, if you’re a fan of Mel and Jack (Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson), you’re going to love Maggie and Cal inĀ Sullivan’s Crossing!
You can watch the first two seasons ofĀ Sullivan’s CrossingĀ on Netflix right now. It looks likeĀ Sullivan’s CrossingĀ season 3 is coming to Netflix soon, as well! It’s beenĀ reportedĀ that theĀ new season will arrive on Netflix on Aug. 11, but that hasn’t been confirmed by Netflix just yet.
As forĀ Virgin RiverĀ season 7, there’s a little bit of confusion about what’s next. We thought that Netflix confirmedĀ Virgin RiverĀ season 7 was coming in 2026 by leaving it off a list of the shows coming back in 2025, but production onĀ season 7 wrappedĀ recently.Ā Breckenridge recently revealed that she didn’t know when the new season was coming out, and it seemed like she was speculating that a 2025 release was still in play. That would be ideal for fans of the series.
If that happens,Ā Virgin RiverĀ season 7 would probably be released in November or December 2025 at the very earliest. And, that’s if Netflix decides not to push it back to 2026, of course.
The other good news aboutĀ Virgin RiverĀ is that Netflix justĀ renewed the series for season 8. That’s right;Ā Virgin RiverĀ season 8 is officially in the works. The renewal makesĀ Virgin RiverĀ the longest-running scripted Netflix series of all time! We’ll share more about the new season soon.
If you need a new show to watch on Netflix right now and you’re a fan ofĀ Virgin River, Sullivan’s Crossing is a no-brainer!
