Based on the books by Sherryl Woods, Netflix's Sweet Magnolias debuted in May 2020. Following its success and praise from the audience, it was renewed for an additional two seasons, with Season 3 wrapping in July 2023.
There was no confirmation for Sweet Magnolias Season 4 for the longest time, and fans were expecting that their beloved show had come under Netflix's radar and had been canceled like many others.
But it was finally renewed in October 2023, and the streaming platform has now announced a release date for the same.
The show follows three women, Maddie, Helen, and Dana, who have been best friends since childhood and live in Serenity, South Carolina, where they navigate friendships, careers, and family.
More on Sweet Magnolias Season 4 in our story.
What is the release date for Sweet Magnolias Season 4?
Season 3 ended in July 2023, and there was no news of a further renewal, which made fans worry that it was canceled after three seasons. However, this delay was due to the Hollywood Writer's strike, and Season 4 was finally announced in October 2023.
It was reported some months back that the show had wrapped the filming for its latest season, and now Netflix has finally released a date for Season 4.
Sweet Magnolias Season 4 will drop all 10 episodes on Netflix on February 6, 2025.
Who is in the cast for Sweet Magnolias Season 4?
While the show has not officially announced the cast for Sweet Magnolias Season 4, it is expected that all the major cast will reprise their roles for the upcoming season.
The three Magnolias will return for Season 4 as the titular characters navigating friendships and family in Serenity, South Carolina-
- JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Maddie Townsend
- Brooke Elliot as Dana Sue Sullivan
- Heather Headley as Helen Decatur
Since Chris Klein's Bill Townsend decided to leave Serenity for a while after apologizing to Maddie and making his peace with other characters, it is expected that Klein will not be a part of the upcoming season. However, he may return in a guest capacity.
Two actors will reportedly join Season 4, namely Kamarion Miller as Carter Glass and Nikita Patel in an undisclosed role.
The expected cast for Season 4 is as follows-
- Logan Allen as Kyle Townsend

What to expect from Sweet Magnolias Season 4?
Season 4 has a lot of source material as there are 11 novels, and the show only covered the first three in Season 1. While the later seasons digressed from the novels, it is yet to be seen which storylines from the novel will fans get to see in the upcoming season.
Speaking of possibilities, Season 3 ended with Ryan breaking up with Helen, saying that he cannot envision his future in Serenity. This might hint at Helen reconciling with Erik in Season 4.
Maddie and Cal are also working through their relationship with counseling, and Season 4 could bring them good news. Another budding romance hinted at in Season 3 was between Ty and Annie after she broke up with her boyfriend Jackson, and the two sneakily held hands in the finale.
With Trent resigning as the town's Mayor, Peggy could step into this new role. Catch all new episodes on Netflix on February 6, 2025.
