Where is Netflix’s hit series Virgin River filmed? When did it start? Who stars in it? Why was the Sea to Sky Corridor chosen as a backdrop? And what lies ahead for the beloved show? These are the questions fans around the world are asking — and the answers highlight the remarkable connection between British Columbia and Hollywood storytelling.

Since its debut on December 6, 2019, Virgin River has captivated audiences with its heartfelt drama, small-town charm, and breathtaking scenery — much of it filmed in the Sea to Sky region of British Columbia. Locations like Shannon Falls Provincial Park, Brandywine Falls, Smoke Bluffs Park, and the Sky Pilot Suspension Bridge in Squamish offer a stunning and serene setting that perfectly matches the fictional town’s tranquil atmosphere.

The series stars Alexandra Breckenridge as Mel Monroe, a nurse practitioner seeking a fresh start, and Martin Henderson as Jack Sheridan, a bar owner and ex-Marine. Other key cast members include Annette O’Toole, Colin Lawrence, and Tim Matheson. With strong performances and gorgeous visuals, Virgin River has become a global success.

Filming in the Sea to Sky area wasn't just a visual choice—it was a strategic one. The region’s diverse natural beauty, accessible filming infrastructure, and welcoming communities make it a top location for film and television production in Canada.

Now entering its seventh season, with a new prequel series in development, Virgin River shows no signs of slowing down. For fans and locals alike, it's a proud reminder of the world-class stories and scenery that British Columbia has to offer.
