I Virgin River the cast tried to guess how much time had passed on the show from season 1 to season 7.
Based on Robyn Carrbook series, Virgin River follows the lives of the citizens of a small town in Northern California, including Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge) and Jack (Martin Henderson). The new series, which started in 2019, also has stars Colin Lawrence, Annette O’Toole, Tim Matheson, Benjamin Hollingsworth, Sarah Dugdale, Zibby Allen, Marco Grazzini, Mark Ghanimé again Kai Bradbury.
The hit Netflix series is seven seasons old – but it seems time has passed for the residents of Virgin River.
“It was [around] six months,” Hollingsworth told Us Weekly exclusively.
Grazini had a different proposal, to share Us in a separate interview, “It’s been about 200 years, right? Because, if you think about it, it’s been about a year and a half since the first season because that’s when Charmaine got pregnant.”
He continued: “Now his twins are a few months old so let’s call them nine months and five months.
Allen’s proposal fell somewhere in between.
“I think it’s been a year and a half—like a year and three months,” he commented to us. “I know the writers told us once and I just forgot.”
Allen, who has been on the show since season 3, went on to share why he’s “a little worried” about season 8 after that shocking finale. Season 7 of the Netflix hit, which premiered on Thursday, March 12, saw Brie (Allen) and Brady (Hollingsworth) finally get on the same page about being together. Their happiness was short-lived, however, as Brady ended up in a motorcycle accident that left his fate unclear.
“We have guessed a lot about it, what will happen? Will you be okay?” Allen told us exclusively. “It’s unfortunate that things don’t seem to be going well with Brady.”
Allen confirmed that he doesn’t know what the plan is, adding, “I’m not going to lie, I’m worried. I want them to get a moment or longer than just a moment – because they had one minute on the bike before his accident. I want to give him a chance. [at happiness with Brie] so we’ll see what happens.”
In a separate interview, Hollingsworth joked that Brady has never won in his professional or personal life. “That has a lot to do with Brady’s luck,” Hollingsworth teased to Us. “I think I can’t have nice things. I think Brady can’t have nice things.”
Hollingsworth also revealed that he knows where Brady will end up in season 8. Allen, however, said the cast will need to wait until the show goes into production to get the full picture.
“I know like Ben — and not as much as he lets on,” he joked. “The writers always let us give us an idea of what the character arc is going to be next season. But that’s when they start writing the new season. So things usually – and they always change – actually change and change. It’s always a mystery to us until we get the actual scripts.”
Virgin River is currently streaming on Netflix.
