Netflix’s popular romantic drama Sweet Magnolias has been picked up for a fourth season. Like the first three seasons, Season 4 will consist of 10 episodes. The renewal comes three months after Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias debuted on July 20.
The delay in the announcement was due to logistics, including the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but the pickup was never in doubt as the series continues to draw large, passionate female audiences. Across its three seasons to date, Sweet Magnolias has been in the Global Top 10 for 10 weeks in over 60 countries, with the most recent third season debuting at No. 1.
Still, fans had a mild reason for concern as the Season 3 finale largely wrapped storylines in a nice bow, ending on a dance and a kiss vs. major cliffhangers for the Season 1 and Season 2 enders, including a car crash with lives hanging in the balance and a surprise marriage proposal.

The drama never stops in Serenity. From cliffhanger car crashes to surprise paternity reveals, Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias has spent three seasons delivering compulsively binge-able episodes of soapy, heartwarming TV. But could Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue’s story have come to a close? The streamer has yet to reveal if Sweet Magnolias will return for season 4. But the season 3 finale definitely felt like it could be a series finale.

Sweet Magnolias is a Netflix series created by Sheryl J. Anderson, and starring JoAnna Garcia, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley.
Sweet Magnolias is a series that embodies the melodramatic spirit of television and the charm of small, familiar American towns.
As one critic put it, it is a litany of romantic clichés, while for others (the fans), it is a wonderfully enchanting series that touches the heart.
Sheryl J. Anderson’s book series is faithfully reflected in the show (created by the author herself), and it caters to a specific audience by delivering what they desire: a classic, romantic, and deeply familial series that still manages to infuse a touch of modernity into its characters, all within the traditional framework of afternoon television production.
Sweet Magnolias
The series achieves a balanced ensemble narrative, where the true protagonist is the community, the environment in which these three women play a significant role.

Sometimes it's true, and you really can go home again.
A Country Christmas Harmony was such a delightful film, and Brooke Elliott and Brandon Quinn were amazing together.
But then, any fan of Sweet Magnolias knows how fantastic their chemistry is. Getting to see them in another project together during the offseason is a gift from Santa himself. We must've all been on the nice list to deserve this treat!
Who doesn't love a second-chance-at-love story? It's a classic, and the film captured the subgenre beautifully and had you rooting for these two to find their way back to one another from the second Chrissy teetered past Luke at his bar.
But there was so much pain, hurt, and baggage to unpack before they could proceed with their second shot at love with each other. It wasn't easy for them to work their way through all of that, either.
