Netflix's Virgin River enthusiasts have every reason to celebrate as the beloved show has been granted a thrilling extension to its saga, even before audiences could feast their eyes on the upcoming season.

Deadline has revealed that the series has secured its seventh outing, a full two months prior to the release of the sixth instalment.

Devotees can anticipate the continued amorous adventures of Mel Monroe (played by Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack Sheridan (Martin Henderson), set to grace screens this December.

A green light for another 10 episodes positions Virgin River as Netflix's most enduring English-language drama to date.

The show's ensemble, including talents like Sarah Dugdale, Tim Matheson, Kandyse McClure, Zibby Allen, and Colin Lawrence, took to Instagram in confirmation, sparking euphoria across their fanbase, reports the Mirror.

Delivering the joyous proclamation, the show's official Instagram handle enthused: "Good news, Virgin River is confirmed to come back for Season 7!

"More love, drama, and small-town charm coming your way. You're very welcome."

Adapted from Robyn Carr's bestselling literary works, the quaint drama clearly holds a cherished spot in the hearts of Netflix patrons, with countless aficionados expressing their elation in the comments section.

A particularly ecstatic supporter responded: "Congratulations @virginriverseries on your season 7 renewal!!!

"We are so so happy and excited for the cast, crew, writers, and everyone who works so hard to bring us this show! You totally deserve all the success! ! Also can't wait to see what is in store for season 6!!"

Thrilled fans have been sharing their excitement online, with one declaring: "Sooo pumped! Whooooo! Can't wait for December 19th!

"As for season 7 can't wait for that either, hopefully we won't have to wait long to see that one! Virgin river is the best show keep the new seasons rolling!!"

Adding to the chorus of delight, a fan commented: "HOORAY!!!!!! Thank you for this exciting announcement!!!!! I cannot wait for A LOT more VIRGIN RIVER!!!!!!"

Season seven of Virgin River is set to make history for Netflix, positioning itself ahead of esteemed series like The Crown and House of Cards as the streaming giant's longest-running English-language drama.

Still, for Virgin River to claim the ultimate crown, it needs to outlast the formidable Spanish drama Elite, which concluded this year following its eighth season.

Virgin River season 6 will premiere Thursday, December 19 on Netflix.
