The wait is almost over—Sweet Magnolias is heading back to Serenity on Thursday, February 6, 2025. Netflix has confirmed that all ten episodes of the fourth season will be available to stream that day, bringing us another chapter in the lives of Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue as they navigate love, family, and life in their quaint Southern hometown.
The show continues to be led by an ensemble cast, including Heather Headley, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, and Brooke Elliott, alongside returning favorites like Logan Allen, Anneliese Judge, and Brandon Quinn.
This season, Serenity faces storms of both the emotional and natural kind, creating challenges that ultimately bring the trio closer together. Spanning the holiday season from Halloween to Christmas, the new season promises plenty of laughter, heartbreak, and personal growth. While old foes resurface, great loves are tested, and cherished dreams evolve, the Magnolias continue to rely on their unshakable bond and weekly margarita nights to get through it all.
Season 4 also features two songs that will set the tone for the show’s festive moments. Heather Headley delivers a soulful rendition of “O Come, All Ye Faithful” and Dylan Rysstad’s original song, “Margarita Christmas.”
As the women of Serenity navigate their romantic lives, the men in their lives pursue new goals, and their teenagers take cautious steps toward adulthood. Fans can expect a mix of surprising turns and heartfelt resolutions as the show examines the complexities of friendship, the beauty of growth, and the challenges that make those connections stronger.
Episodes will be directed by Lauren Petzke, Christine Swanson, Norman Buckley, and cast member JoAnna Garcia Swisher. The series, based on Sherryl Woods’ beloved novels, is produced by Daniel L. Paulson Productions and was filmed in Atlanta, Georgia.
Season 3 ended with several key moments: Dana Sue and her estranged husband, Ronnie, renewed their vows; Helen seemed poised for a reunion with Erik; and Maddie found happiness in her relationship with Cal while preparing for a new chapter in her career. According to Garcia Swisher, these resolutions set the stage for deeper storytelling in the new season. “There’s still so much to be told,” she shared in a previous interview.
From its heartfelt moments to its Southern charm, Sweet Magnolias continues to resonate with audiences looking for comfort drama. As we return to Serenity, we’re reminded of the beauty in true friendship and the strength it provides during life’s most challenging times. Get ready to laugh, cry, and toast to new beginnings when the series premieres on February 6.
