‘Virgin River' Cast Marks Last Day Of Filming For Season 7: 'Fingers Crossed More To Come'
It's only a matter of months until viewers can be transported back to a fictitious small town nestled in Northern California — as Netflix's Virgin River has wrapped filming its seventh season. Marking the occasion, cast members took to social media to celebrate. Benjamin Hollingsworth shared a joint post with Kandyse McClure, which included selfies of the two alongside fellow co-star Zibby Allen. 'First day of Summer and Last day of Filming Season 7 of Virgin River. ☀️ @netflix,' he wrote. More from Deadline 'Sirens' Debuts At No. 1 On Nielsen Top 10 As 'The Last Of Us' Season 2 Concludes & 'All American' Season 7 Generates Interest On Netflix 'Adolescence' Composers Aaron May & David Ridley On Using The Victim's "Innocent, Vulnerable Voice" As The Base Of The Score 5 Songs With 'Monsters: The Lyle & Erik Menendez Story' Music Supervisors Amanda Krieg Thomas & Anna Romanoff 'It was the best day!' added McClure in the comments alongside a heart-faced emoji. Meanwhile, Allen shared some additional photos alongside stars Alexandra Breckenridge and Martin Henderson. 'VRS7 wrapped. These lives within these lives… 💚,' she captioned the pics. 'I hit the scene partner jackpot,' Hollingsworth wrote in a comment underneath the post. Annette O'Toole took to Instagram for a simple post featuring her pup in a travel carrier, writing, 'Bye Vancouver!' Colin Lawrence posted a video tribute to the season, saying, 'And that, my friends, is a wrap on Season 7 for John 'Preacher' Middleton. Oh gosh, what can I tell you? Another stellar season, in my humble opinion. This show has been the most fun to work on. I've been so blessed to have been a part of this for the last seven seasons. Fingers crossed more to come,' and adding that there are 'more laughs, more tears, just a lot of emotion' in the forthcoming installment. While there is no official release date for Season 7, its preceding season bowed on the streamer in December 2024, and the one before that premiered September 2023. As such, it's possible that Season 7 could come to Netflix late this year. As Deadline reported earlier in March, Season 7 features new recurring characters played by Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries) and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale). The former's storyline is based on an existent plotline from Robyn Carr's expansive, eponymous novel series, with Canning playing an ex-cop who was shot in the line of duty and is now working for the state medical board as an investigator. She comes to Virgin River to investigate Doc's (Tim Matheson) practice but runs into a friend with whom she wouldn't mind catching up. Speaking to Deadline last December, series showrunner Patrick Sean Smith confirmed the fight for Virgin River's clinic will be a major storyline this year, following the investigation into Doc's actions while saving a patient, which led to a bait-and-switch ploy for the clinic to be taken over by a large hospital network.

Glenn Howerton nearly quit ‘It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' in shock move: ‘I was worried'
It was the implication. Glenn Howerton, who stars as the sociopathic Dennis Reynolds in the long running sitcom 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia,' revealed that he once almost left the show, which is currently in Season 17. During a recent PaleyLive panel to celebrate the show's 20th anniversary, Howerton, 49, spoke with his co-stars Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, and Kaitlin Olson. Advertisement Howerton, who co-created, writes, and produces on the show in addition to starring on it, said, 'It was actually before we started working on Season 12. I was like, 'Look, I just don't want to wear out our welcome.'' 9 Glenn Howerton attends 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia' 20th Anniversary Celebration hosted by The Paley Center For Media at DGA Theater Complex on July 1, 2025 in Los Angeles, California.

The 'Sirens' actor added, 'I was worried that maybe we had sort of peaked or something, and I just was like, you know, we've been doing this for a long time. And I think I was also anxious.' Howerton continued, 'I had not figured out yet how to stretch myself and be able to do other things that I wanted to do with my career outside of the show. I just hadn't figured out how to do that yet. I was aching to do other things, and so I was starting to feel a little boxed in, frankly.' 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia,' which first premiered on FX in 2005 (it currently airs on FXX and Hulu), is about a group of narcissistic and sociopathic friends who run a dive bar in the titular city.

'They were like, 'We don't want to end it,'' Howerton recalled his co-stars saying. 'And I was like, 'Oh, well I can't stop you.' And then Seasons 13 and 14, I came back as an actor but I wasn't in the writers room.' 9 Glenn Howerton, Charlie Day, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, Danny DeVito in a 2016 episode of 'It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia.' ©FX Networks/Courtesy Everett Collection 9 Charlie Day, Danny DeVito, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson and Glenn Howerton at the PaleyLive Program: 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' 20th Anniversary Celebration, July 1, 2025.

McElhenney joked that 'there were so many moments' where Howerton tried to quit, but the crew wouldn't 'let him because of the implication,' referring to an iconic Dennis scene from the show where the character states, 'it's the implication.' During an interview with the Post in May, Howerton said the cast has discussed ending the show. 'It's hard to say. It changes often, season to season. There are some seasons where we're like, 'Oh, I can't do this anymore.' But there are other seasons where everyone is just really stoked and excited to be there, and excited to get the opportunity to continue exploring these insane characters in this insane world,' Howerton explained. He added, 'We were quite invigorated this year. So, I think we're just taking it year by year.' 9 Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson and Charlie Day in a 2011 episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.' 9 Glenn Howerton attends the SAG-AFTRA Foundation screening and Q&A for 'Sirens' at SAG-AFTRA Foundation Robin Williams Center on May 18, 2025 in New York City.

Bio' star told The Post that after each season, we 'check in with ourselves.' 'We never like to have those conversations about what the future of the show is when we finish a season,' he explained. 'Because that's when we are like, 'Yeah, I'm done. I can't do this anymore.' It's always good to take a couple months off, and then have that conversation, like, 'Do we want to keep going?'' Howerton told The Post that as of 2025, 'We're still having such a blast working with each other. And, there seems to be endless ways to explore the world through these characters. So, we have no intention of stopping anytime soon.'
