One of Netflix’s best in-house feel-good American romantic drama series, developed by Sheryl J. Anderson and based on the Sweet Magnolias novels by Sherryl Woods, Sweet Magnolias released its Season 2 on February 4, 2022. Since then, fans have been going crazy over whether the show would be renewed for Sweet Magnolias Season 3 or not.
Well, here we share with you all the latest updates we have regarding the renewal of Sweet Magnolias Season 3.
Will there be Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias?
Although many shows of this genre are usually renewed for their next season before time, this was not the case with Sweet Magnolias. Hence, we are still unaware of the renewal status of Sweet Magnolias Season 3, even after 2 months after the release of Season 2.
What we believe is that the renewal depends on the viewership and the love for the series to decide whether or not it will be renewed for a Season 3. Seeing the initial solid viewership base, we are quite sure that the show will be returning for Sweet Magnolias Season 3, but we cannot be really sure after we have seen the rather trigger-happy phase of Netflix in 2022, so far.
What is the release date of Sweet Magnolias Season 3?
As we don’t even have some solid data on the renewal status of Sweet Magnolias Season 3, we don’t even have a release date. But if things go well for the show, we can expect Sweet Magnolias Season 3 to premiere sometime next year.
How well has Sweet Magnolias performed so far?
As the future of the show depends a lot on how the show has been performing till now, it is important for the fans to have the knowledge of the authentic data about the same.
Some early indications showed that Sweet Magnolias is already one of the biggest shows of 2022 so far for Netflix. Season 1 recorded 21.64 million hours in its first week of launch, whereas Season 2 was watched globally on Netflix for 161.3 million hours in its first 30-days on Netflix.
According to IMDb’s MovieMeter, Season 1 peaked at #4 in its launch week, whereas Season 2 only managed to get up to #15.
According to the heat map provided by FlixPatrol, the show has been performing best in regions like the United States, Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Ireland, Sweden, and South Africa.

What is the cast of Sweet Magnolias season 3?
Since the show hasn’t officially been renewed yet, we can’t say for sure who will be the returning cast members. But what is Sweet Magnolias without the central trio? Season 3 might see the return of JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Maddie Townsend, Brooke Elliot as Dana Sue Sullivan, and Heather Headley as Helen Decatur. They will be joined by their supporting cast: Carson Rowland (Ty Townsend), Logan Allen (Kyle Townsend), Bianca Berry Tarantino (Katie Townsend), Justin Bruening (Cal Maddox); Anneliese Judge (Annie Sullivan) and Brandon Quinn (Ronnie Sullivan); and Dion Johnstone (Erik Whitley) and Michael Shenefelt (Ryan Wingate).

Smith (Peggy Martin), Al-Jaleel Knox (Gabe Weatherspoon), and Tracey Bonner (Pastor June).
Sweet Magnolias Season 2 Recap
*Spoilers Ahead*
The season ended on a cliffhanger. Cal and Maddie’s relationship turned rocky, Isaac discovered that his mother is the newspaper reporter, Peggy, and a lot more happened in the season that led to the surprising finale. Without giving any more spoilers, all we could say is that not many fans were quite happy with the ending of Season 2, and that, obviously, made them ask for more in the face of Sweet Magnolias Season 3.
we were robbed of these two in S2, and i’m still upset about it. we waited YEARS to just get slapped in the face. let’s just hope we get a season 3 so they can fix the mess S2 created. #SweetMagnolias #tynnie #tyannie pic.twitter.com/IhKhbXHyUN

— May (@mayle715) March 2, 2022
While many wanted more of the series, others were so disappointed with the Season 2 ending that Season 3 was a no-go for them.
I want you to all remind me how mad I am at “Sweet Magnolias” for the dumb way they ended season 2 and promise you’ll tell me not to watch season 3 whenever it drops. pic.twitter.com/UgrpRNNqSw

But whatever it is, fans’ bittersweet relationship with Season 2 ending and the loopholes in it definitely justifies the pouring demand for a Season 3.
