Sweet Magnolias officially back for more margarita nights, drama and romance on … drum roll, please: Thursday, July 20, 2023. Netflix made the announcement this morning (Thursday, May 25, 2023) that means we’re less than two months away from season three.

It’s been a long wait for fans (a little over a year, to be exact), who have wanted answers to that season two cliffhanger since the beloved series starring JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley was renewed in May is. 4, 2022. The series—based on the popular novels by New York Times bestselling author Sherryl Woods – first appeared in May 2020 and quickly became the surprise hit of the summer. Season two started on February 4, 2022, and ended with a lot of shocks and surprises for the lives of everyone in Serenity. Now, we’ll know if Helen will accept Ryan’s proposal (um, no, she’d rather not), what will happen to Cal, and just who’s out to get Dana Sue.

Netflix also revealed that the third season will consist of 10 one-hour episodes, all dropping at the same time. This is the same amount as seasons one and two. Sheryl J. Anderson will return as showrunner and executive producer, along with Dan Paulson as executive producer.

We also have three first-look photos from the new season, which don’t reveal much, but you know there will be plenty of fan theories!

Brooke Elliott as Dana Sue Sullivan, Heather Headley as Helen Decatur in episode 310 of Sweet Magnolias. Okay, I don’t have anything for you here.
