Netflix shared the following about the renewal:
“Based on the popular book series by New York Times best-selling author Sherryl Woods, Netflix today announced that Sweet Magnolias has been renewed for a fifth season. The fan-beloved comfort drama continuously ranks among Netflix’s Global Top 10 list in over 60 countries. Sweet Magnolias follows lifelong best friends Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley) as they juggle relationships, family, and careers in the charming small town of Serenity, SC.”
According to Tudum, showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson teased, “We are thrilled to let the Magnolias take Manhattan. Not only is this adventure huge fun, it’s also an opportunity to explore the facets of their relationships in a new context. While it’s crucial to have true friends in day-to-day life, it’s priceless to have them supporting you when you leap out of your comfort zone.”
The premiere date for the drama’s fifth season will be announced later.

I love this show! I live in a small town and it seems there are always the same people who get involved. This show feels like a primer for how community should be. Can’t wait for the next season!
