Sweet Magnolias Season 5: What To Expect?
Sheryl J. Anderson, the showrunner and executive producer, told Tudum, “We are thrilled to let the Magnolias take Manhattan,” and felt, “Not only is this adventure huge fun, it’s also an opportunity to explore the facets of their relationships in a new context.” She pointed out that day-to-day life is one thing, but getting support when you’re out of your comfort zone is priceless.
She added that women around the world still struggle to put themselves first, and that’s what Maddie is currently feeling. With her husband, friends, and children back home, she wonders if she should pursue her dream in a city far from the haven of Serenity. Responsibilities are important, but “does that mean she has to say no to a dream?” Sheryl felt.
JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, and Heather Headley will be back to reprise their roles as the leading ladies. Season 5 will have 10 episodes, as the rest of the seasons. Dan Paulson and Matt Drake will be the executive producers, and Norman Buckley will be the co-executive producer. For those not aware, Sweet Magnolias is based on the hit novels by Sherryl Woods.
She also serves as an executive producer on the popular Netflix series. Other details are kept under wraps, including which other cast members will return and which new faces will be featured in the exciting new fifth season.
