We\u2019re just one month away from the premiere of\u00a0Sweet Magnolias<\/a> Season 5! With the new season fast approaching, Netflix released a trailer with scenes of what we can expect when the series returns (scroll down for more).<\/p>\n

The trailer release comes four months after Netflix confirmed the Season 4 premiere date. There are also now more still photos of Dana Sue\u00a0(Brooke Elliott<\/a>), Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher<\/a>), and Helen (Heather Headley<\/a>) in the new season.<\/p>\n

While many storylines wrapped up nicely in Season 4\u2019s conclusion, there\u2019s still plenty of story left to be told in Season 5. Scroll down for everything we know about what\u2019s to come.<\/p>\n

Has\u00a0Sweet Magnolias been renewed for Season 5?<\/p>\n

Netflix confirmed on April 23, 2025, that\u00a0Sweet Magnolias has been renewed for a fifth season, which will consist of 10 episodes. This was a faster turnaround than when Season 4 was announced three months after Season 3\u2019s 2023 release.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to let the Magnolias take Manhattan,\u201d showrunner and executive producer Sheryl J. Anderson told Tudum<\/a>, referring to Maddie\u2019s\u00a0decision to take a job in New York City at the end of Season 4. \u201cNot only is this adventure huge fun, it\u2019s also an opportunity to explore the facets of their relationships in a new context. While it\u2019s crucial to have true friends in day-to-day life, it\u2019s priceless to have them supporting you when you leap out of your comfort zone.\u201d<\/p>\n

Before the renewal, Anderson had already said she was hopeful for more episodes to come. \u201cEverything\u2019s on the table,\u201d she told Deadline<\/a>. \u201cWe don\u2019t have a Season 5 yet, but I\u2019ve been doing this show long enough that 85% of my waking thoughts are about Sweet Magnolias. So all sorts of possibilities exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Heather Headley admitted that filming the finale of Season 4 did sort of feel like the end, although she was also hopeful to continue working on the show. \u201cWhen we got to the end of [filming] it, it felt final, but still in my heart, I was like, \u2018No, it\u2019s not done,’\u201d she told Parade<\/a>.<\/p>\n

When does\u00a0Sweet Magnolias Season 5 premiere?<\/p>\n

The episodes will drop on Thursday, June 11, 2026, on Netflix.<\/p>\n

Is there a\u00a0Sweet Magnolias Season 5 trailer?<\/p>\n

Yes, the trailer came out on May 11, and begins with Helen, Maddie, and Dana Sue in New York City. Helen goes wedding dress shopping, but fears her happy ending may be too good to be true. \u201cIs something going to go wrong?\u201d she asks her friends.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Maddie leans on her friends amid her big move, and Dana Sue is worried about the state of her fragile marriage to Ronnie (Brandon Quinn<\/a>). \u201cI\u2019m sorry, this is my fault,\u201d he says in one scene.<\/p>\n

The heart of the show is still the friendship between the three women, though. Watch the full trailer above.<\/p>\n

Will there be a\u00a0Sweet Magnolias spinoff?<\/p>\n

One thing Anderson did not entertain the idea of is a possible spinoff for Noreen (Jamie Lynn Spears<\/a>) or the younger generation of Magnolias, Annie (Anneliese Judge<\/a>), CeCe (Harlan Drum), and Lily (Artemis).<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat a fabulous idea. But that\u2019s not what we were doing,\u201d she admitted. \u201cAgain, this season is about seizing your passion, and we wanted to explore how Noreen felt about nursing, because that had gotten very confused with Bill (Chris Klein<\/a>) and everything else. And we wanted to show also how Annie, broadening her friendship with CeCe and Lily, is taking advantage of the lessons that her mother and her two best friends have modeled for her whole life.\u201d<\/p>\n

Who is in the Sweet Magnolias Season 5 cast?<\/p>\n

Swisher, Elliott, and Headley are all returning. Erik\u00a0(Dion Johnstone<\/a>) is also back after he and Helen finally got together in the most dramatic fashion. Season 4 ended with their engagement, so there\u2019s a perfect setup for another wedding in Season 5.<\/p>\n

Spears is back as Noreen, as is Logan Allen<\/a> as Kyle Townsend and Quinn as Ronnie. Maddie\u2019s eldest son Ty (Carson Rowland<\/a>) does not appear in the trailer, but Dana Sue\u2019s daughter Annie (Anneliese Judge) is back. Maddie\u2019s husband Cal (Justin Bruening<\/a>) also returns, along with Chris Medlin<\/a> as Isaac, who has a new love interest.<\/p>\n

Also joining the cast is Jamie-Lynn Sigler<\/a>, who plays Nell Winters, a writer that Maddie befriends in New York, Janice Wesley, a town matron of Serenity named Miss Eustice, Courtney Grace as Courtney Sinclar, Ronnie\u2019s new business partner, and John Gabriel Rodriquez<\/a>, who plays a rival Serenity business owner named Clark Bellson.<\/p>\n

Aidan Merwath will also join as Noah Wharton, while Austin Woods will be playing Blake Monaghan. Erik\u2019s niece, Jessica, will also be coming to town and played by Iman Benson<\/a>.<\/p>\n
