Plot Synopsis
Based Sherryl Woods' "Sweet Magnolias" series of books, SWEET MAGNOLIAS is a one-hour drama series that follows lifelong best friends Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue as they juggle relationships, family, and careers in the charming small town of Serenity, SC. The story opens with Maddie trying to move on from Bill's fall from grace, Dana Sue dealing with problems in her kitchen, and Helen making a life-altering purchase. On Tuesday, May 19, 2020 at 3:01am ET/12:01am PT, Netflix released the 10-episode first season of SWEET MAGNOLIAS.
The entire 10-episode second season of SWEET MAGNOLIAS dropped on Friday, February 4, 2022 on Netflix. Together, the Magnolias work through new relationships, old wounds and town politics as the sweet parts of life blend with the salty and the sour. In the season opener, "Casseroles and Casualties," in the waiting room, the families gather for news from the doctors, and Ty's plans for the season change. Over margaritas, Helen shares an announcement.
Season 3 of SWEET MAGNOLIAS debuted on Thursday, July 20, 2023 on Netflix, which released all 10 episodes of the new season. Following the brawl at Sullivan's, Maddie wrestles with the best way to help Cal and works to clear her own emotional path. Helen faces difficult decisions about the men in her life. And Dana Sue searches for a way to use Miss Frances' check to help the community, without upending her family. The identity of the tire slasher sends shockwaves through Serenity, the recall causes unexpected consequences, and there are romantic surprises in every generation. Throughout the season, the ladies tackle these problems -- and all the complications they cause -- with their trademark warmth, humor, and devotion to each other and those they love. And margaritas.

On Thursday, February 6, 2025, Netflix released the entire 10-episode fourth season of SWEET MAGNOLIAS. Season 4 takes viewers 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. In the season opener, "The Other Side of the Veil," the Magnolias toast to the future with bubbly in hand. The restaurant hosts an elegant event, and a festive Halloween party conjures up bewitching surprises.
