Sweet Magnolias, the unexpected Netflix smash from summer 2020, will return for a second season in early 2022. The three girls loved by the fans Brooke Elliott, JoAnna Garcia Swisher, and Heather Headley (who portray close buddies Maddie Townsend, Dana Sue Sullivan, and Helen Decatur, respectively) returned to Serenity, South Carolina, for adding more drama which fans were expecting to see.
Even better, Netflix has now revealed the debut date and the first four photographs from the upcoming season.
Release Date
Season two will begin on February 4, 2022, and will consist of ten one-hour episodes. “Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue realize who is in the automobile,” according to Netflix. But that’s just the beginning of prom night’s numerous surprises—surprises that change relationships throughout town. Friendships are in jeopardy.
Old loves come to an end, and new ones begin. Jobs are disrupted, lives are changed, and the balance of power in Serenity is shifted due to long-hidden secrets. Everyone is influenced in some way. But, through joy and tragedy, the Sweet Magnolias continue to battle for what is right for themselves rather than the people they care about, even if it costs them a lot of money.
Season 2 contains a lot of unanswered concerns for fans, especially after the dramatic way season 1 concluded, especially in the last 10 minutes of the show, which was a wonderful approach to leave viewers thinking about the cast’s future.
What To Expect
The ending of the battle from the after-prom party was hugely anticipated at the end of Season 1 due to the concerns that arose. Kyle is now unconscious after an unfortunate vehicle accident she was in. The name of the passenger in the car, on the other hand, is never revealed, so it remains a major mystery heading into Season 2, and perhaps it will be revealed.
Maddie is already overworked as a result of her ex-partner’s proposal. Faced with the decision, they try again with their relationship, claiming their children as justification, and even succeed.
Helen just ended her on-again, off-again relationship, which in no way is stable or consistent, to say the least, so it’ll be fascinating to see what happens next, particularly since she’s anxious for a kid. Finally, Dana is dealing with her issues as she tries to keep her business viable. With options dwindling and an uncertain future for the business, she is now faced with the possibility of having an estranged son operating in her kitchen.
Season 2 starts up “minutes” after the season 1 end, according to Sheryl Woods. “What you find out in that scenario has a lot of ramifications,” she told Southern Living.
The Cast
Brooke Elliott played the role of Dana. Sue Sullivan, Helen Decatur (Heather Headley), Maddie Townsend (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), and Tyler ‘Ty’ Townsend (Carson Rowland). Annie Sullivan is played by Anneliese Judge. The previously seen trio of Jamie Lynn Spears, Dion Johnstone, and Brandon Quinn has been promoted to the main cast for the second season, according to Deadline.
The Support
Sheryll Woods indicated before production began that the writing crew was aware of the public’s desire for season 2, adding, “Please know we are pouring our hearts into all the answers and new questions that are at the center of Season 2.”
“That’s hard to respond because we’re still scrambling to determine out any safeguards that need to be taken and how that would affect the rate of production,” Sheryll said later, adding, “There are a lot of unknowns.” Early April 2021 marked the start of filming. Since the start of production, the cast and crew, as well as various members of the public, have shared several photos.
