When it comes to romance, Netflix knows how to keep viewers coming back from more. From international hits like Bridgerton to sweet series like XO, Kitty to fun romps like Emily in Paris, it’s easy to find a new show to get hooked on.

With four seasons already streaming, Sweet Magnolias fits the bill. Revolving around three best friends as they navigate through life and love, it’s the definition of a comfort watch. So, when can you expect fresh episodes? We’re not sure, but we bet they’re coming.

Sweet Magnolias Season 5 Release Date

Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias came out in February 2025 and quickly made its way to the highest position on the Netflix Top 10. At the time of writing, the show hasn’t been renewed for more episodes.

“We don’t have a Season 5 yet, but I’ve been doing this show long enough that 85% of my waking thoughts are about Sweet Magnolias. So all sorts of possibilities exist,” showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson recently told Deadline.

Given its popularity, there’s a good chance Sweet Magnolias Season 5 will eventually become a reality. If the series follows its current release pattern, it may hit Netflix in late 2026.

What Will Happen in Sweet Magnolias Season 5?

The residents of Serenity went through a lot in season 4 – and while some stories concluded in a satisfying manner, others were left more open-ended. For instance, will Maddie actually go through with her big life change? Are Helen and Erik truly endgame? Sweet Magnolias Season 5 is sure to provide some answers, so we’re sat.
