Virgin River’ Canceled? Here’s the Replacement Series Everyone’s Watching Instead
Rumors have been swirling that Netflix’s beloved small-town drama Virgin River might be nearing the end of its run — and while the streamer hasn’t officially confirmed a cancellation, industry insiders say Season 7 could be its last. In the meantime, viewers are already flocking to a new comfort-watch that’s quickly filling the Virgin River-shaped hole in their hearts.
The show in question? Sullivan’s Crossing, another heartwarming, scenic drama adapted from a bestselling romance book series. Much like Virgin River, it combines cozy small-town vibes, slow-burn romance, and plenty of family drama — but with its own fresh twists. Starring Morgan Kohan, Chad Michael Murray, and Scott Patterson, the series follows Maggie Sullivan, a big-city neurosurgeon who returns to her hometown after a scandal, only to face old wounds, rekindled relationships, and unexpected love.
Fans of Virgin River have been quick to notice the similarities: stunning natural landscapes, a tight-knit community full of secrets, and a lead heroine starting over. Social media has been buzzing with comparisons, with many viewers saying Sullivan’s Crossing scratches the exact same itch — some even calling it “Virgin River meets Gilmore Girls.”
What’s more, Sullivan’s Crossing has already been renewed for multiple seasons, giving fans confidence that they can invest without fear of a sudden ending. And with more streaming platforms picking it up internationally, it’s poised to become the next big small-town binge-watch.
While Virgin River fans wait for Netflix to make an official announcement about the series’ fate, many are happily immersing themselves in Maggie’s journey — finding comfort in another world where love, healing, and second chances are always possible.
