Netflix has officially announced the coming of Sweet Magnolias Season 4, shutting down the fears that the show may get canceled after the previous season finale’s lack of a major cliffhanger. Of course, this causes a celebration among the best friends, Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen, but if there’s one thing fans want to know, it’s about the new season’s production. Thankfully, showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson gives a much-awaited update that fans want to hear.
In a post on Instagram, Anderson shares a picture of an online video call with the group of writers who will work on Sweet Magnolias Season 4. And yes, the writing process for the upcoming new season has officially begun now that the writers’ strike has ended.
“Now that the news is out, I thought you might enjoy meeting the brilliant people who are working with me to craft Season 4 of SWEET MAGNOLIAS,” she captioned the snap. From there, she introduced the writers one by one, from top left to bottom right: Bianca Sams, me, Alex Rubin, Barret Helms with his dog Tilly, Kale Futterman with her puppy Charlie, Anthony Epling, Sara Jumel, and Sean Benum.
And to tease fans of what’s to come, Anderson revealed everyone would love what these writers are creating. The show’s stars, JoAnna Garcia Swisher and Jamie Lynn Spears, who play the roles of Maddie and Noreen, respectively, also like the post. Now, all fans have to do is wait for the SAG-AFTRA strike to have a deal with the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), which represents the studios and streamers, so the cameras could start rolling.
What is Sweet Magnolias Season 4 about?
Netflix has officially renewed Sweet Magnolias for a fourth season this month. Once again, the besties Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen will return to Serenity, South Carolina, to continue juggling their lives, relationships, families, and careers. Based on the bestselling novels by Sherryl Woods, the new season has a lot of grounds to cover despite the third season ending on a high note.
Dana Sue and Ronnie renew their vows, while Helen reunites with Erik. As for Maddie, she’s in a happy relationship with Cal and will be taking the next step in her career. But though everything seems well, Anderson told Tudum that Sweet Magnolias Season 4 will explore the conflicts the finale has introduced.
The new season will analyze the twists and turns of their romances and the complexity of their friendship. There will also be surprises that are about to come in their lives. And amid these unexpected turns of events, Anderson added the fourth season will show how these things still make them grateful for the people who love them, whatever they’re going through.
So far, Netflix has yet to announce when Sweet Magnolias Season 4. But as the SAG-AFTRA strike continues, it may still be a long wait.
