On Twitter, the Sweet Magnolias writer’s room confirmed the filming of season 3 has begun. They posted a video with a poster of the series saying Get Ready more Magnolias. They added a caption. We’re so thrilled to announce that Sweet Magnolias is renewed for a third season.
It’s fantastic that they announced the next season quickly. We waited more than two years for season 2, and we began assuming that we also have to wait this long for season 3. But thankfully, it is not like that this time.
Is There Any Exact Sweet Magnolias Season 3 Release Date?
As previously stated, the third season has already begun. It has already been confirmed by the Sweet Magnolias writers through their Twitter handle.
After season 1 ended in May 2020, the second season of the series was released in February 2022. Thus there was a pause of around two years. Thankfully, season 3 might be available on Netflix shortly, with filming wrapping up in mid-October.
It’s interesting to note that, according to What’s on Netflix, a press release announcing Jermain Rivers as a new cast member of the series stated that the upcoming season will premiere in the spring of 2023.
However, it was missing from the list of new series arriving in March 2023; therefore, the third season may appear in April at the very earliest.
So, we came to the conclusion that there’s a strong probability that the upcoming season 3 will release in the spring of 2023. However, it’s still being determined if the creators will do so in April. Even if there was no press statement, it is when we anticipate the season to begin.

What Will be the Storyline of Sweet Magnolias Season 3?
Season 2 ended with Helen, Maddie, and Dana Sue mourning Miss Frances’ departure. After the funeral, we see an unexpected occurrence that includes a proposal and a fight in the restaurant, resulting in Cal being handcuffed.
Also, we know that someone went back after the primary trio viewed a video of Sullivan’s delivery van’s tires being cut. Season 2 was difficult for Helen, who experienced several horrific incidents that ended with Ryan proposing to her.
The choice she makes will signal the start of season 3. After season two ended, Sheryl J. Anderson addressed many pressing queries in an interview with TVLine.
Anderson also hinted that Victoria might “potentially” make a comeback and that other “troublemakers” might follow suit. The connection between Dana Sue and Anderson was also discussed, and Anderson predicted that the three-way tango would remain challenging.
In an interview with Glamor, Anderson said that unlike season 2, more than one issue needs to be answered moving into the third season. She said I hope the main question that everyone has at the end of the second season is: There would be a season three?
I believe it will be an intriguing season, JoAnna Garcia Swisher said in a December 2022 interview with Rama’s Screen. It will include all the elements that made the series so beloved.
Will Helen Get Married to Ryan in Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias?
Fans are eager to find out how Helen, Erik, and Ryan’s love triangle will play out in season 3. Ryan is still unaware that Helen was pregnant and that they had a miscarriage. Since their relationship has been on and off for years, we are unsure if Helen will accept the proposal.
Headley claims she has yet to determine who Helen will select. She told TV Line she doesn’t know, and that’s the scary part. She has this thick sludge of a relationship, so sometimes she believes it’s Ryan. Since they were little, they have been in love with one another. Each time they parted ways, they immediately reconciled.
Is there any Released Trailer for Season 3?
It may take some time to receive a season three trailer. We have to wait until officials announce the release date of the upcoming season.
