Netflix Gives Sweet Magnolias Fans a Couple of Gifts for the Holidays Including Season 4 Intel

Virgin River just dropped, so our next soapy small-town fix must be the streaming juggernaut’s Sweet Magnolias. The third season premiered way back in July of 2023. So it’s been over a year since besties Helen, Maddie, and Dana Sue dealt with their southern-style drama that only living in Serenity can provide. Thankfully, Netflix recently announced the premiere date for season four, plus it released some first-look photos.

A fourth season of Sweet Magnolias will materialize on Thursday, February 6, 2025. All ten episodes will drop at once, meaning a great big binge will be in order.

According to Netflix’s companion website, Tudum, “this season, storms — both emotional and meteorological — disrupt life in Serenity, bringing Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley), and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) even closer in unexpected ways. It’ll also feature the women celebrating the holiday season — from Halloween to Christmas — with surprising laughter, unexpected heartbreak, and renewed resolve.”

But that’s not all. Just in time for our holiday season, Netflix gifted us with even more details about the upcoming season:

Season Four Synopsis. Come spend the holidays in Serenity, as Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias takes us from Halloween to Christmas, with surprising laughter, unexpected heartbreak, and renewed resolve along the way. While negotiating the twists and turns of their romantic lives, Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen must also navigate the return of old foes, the loss of great loves, and the pain of transition from past dreams to present ones. As the men in their lives pursue their own dreams and the teenagers take uneasy steps toward adulthood, the Magnolias support each other with creative problem-solving, deep-hearted commitment, and — as always — weekly margaritas.

Here’s what you should remember about the end of season 3:

• Dana Sue and her ex Ronnie (Brandon Quinn) renewed their vows
• Maddie and her beau, Cal (Justin Bruening), were in a good place after he struggled with anger issues.
• Helen ended things with Ryan (Michael Shenefelt) for good. And she reconnected with Erik (Dion Johnston).

And here are some first-look photos for the fourth season of Sweet Magnolias:
