‘Sweet Magnolias’ Has Been Renewed For Season 3, Here’s Everything We Know (So Far)

More sweet Serenity, please. - by Jess Pullar

‘Sweet Magnolias’ Has Been Renewed For Season 3, Here’s Everything We Know (So Far)

Warning: This article contains major spoilers to Sweet Magnolias season 2. 

Netflix's Sweet Magnolias is like a block of chocolate—it's comforting, sweet, and we can't get through it fast enough.

At least, that's our general consensus after binging through all of season two when it landed on Netflix in early February 2022. The show follows a trio of women named Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley) and Dana (Brooke Elliot) who each encounter the highs and lows of relationships, family and career in the Southern town of Serenity. 

Yes, the show is exactly as it sounds—cliche storylines and corny one-liners are a-plenty, but there's something so familiar and comforting about it that we can't stop, won't stop coming back, and its popularity will account for that (seriously, it shot straight to number one on Netflix in Australia within three days). 

Now, after a new season full of drama, we have one question: Will there be a season three? Here, everything we know about the third season.

Will there be a third season of Sweet Magnolias?

There definitely will be! On May 5, Netflix confirmed that our favourite ladies from Serenity would be returning to our screens for a third season. According to Variety, not only are JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley heading back for a third season, but so is showrunner and executive producer Sheryl J. Anderson.

 “We’re thrilled to be embarking on our third season for Netflix, and we’re looking forward to returning to Serenity,” producer Dan Paulson said in an official statement.

What will happen in Sweet Magnolias season 3? 

As mentioned, the end of season two was rather ambiguous. Firstly, Helen was proposed to by Ryan, but her answer remains to be seen. Plus, things are a little complicated due to the fact that she's now struck up a relationship with Erik. 

Of course, there's also the troubled relationship between Maddie and Cal. After an altercation at Sullivan's, which sees Cal get into a brawl with a superfan and subsequently arrested, Maddie is left wondering whether she really knows him that well after all. 

And then there's Isaac—in season two, he found out that his birth mother was none other than Peggy, the local newspaper editor who is shocked at the revelation, but ultimately decides to pursue a relationship with him. Things aren't all smooth sailing from there though, newcomer Noreen and her daughter move in with Isaac, but she's unaware that Bill, the father of her child, is actually Isaac's birth-father. Yep, things are going to get messy in season three...

Who will be cast in Sweet Magnolias season 3?

Our favourite main trio, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Heather Headley and Brooke Elliot, will undoubtedly return for a third season.

We can also expect to see Chris Medlan return as Isaac, Jamie Lynn Spears as Noreen, Dion Johnstone as Erik and Michael Shenefelt as Ryan. 

When will Sweet Magnolias season 3 be released? 

As Netflix just confirmed the third season, here's hoping that production gets underway ASAP. If they do, then we could potentially see it drop on the streaming platform by early 2023. Fingers crossed! 

In the meantime, you can re-watch Sweet Magnolias for the 50th time on Netflix here, or if you're looking to start a new show just like it, see our list of recommendations here.
