What Is Sweet Magnolias?
Sweet Magnolias is a smash-hit romance series on Netflix, based on a beloved series of books by Sherryl Woods.

What Change Is Coming to Season 5 of Sweet Magnolias?
Sweet Magnolias is going to bring the biggest change to the show we’ve seen yet in Season 5.
Up until now, the three friends have been inseparable through all of life’s ups and downs. However, in Season 5, Maddie is accepting the offer of her dream job — which requires her to move to New York City, meaning the friends will be separated for the first time in their lives.
“We are thrilled to let the Magnolias take Manhattan,” Sweet Magnolias showrunner and Executive Producer Sheryl J. Anderson tells Tudum. “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.”
When Will Season 5 of Sweet Magnolias Start?
Netflix has not yet revealed the premiere date for Sweet Magnolias Season 5. The season will feature 10 episodes.
