While Virgin River continues to dominate cozy-drama conversations, fellow Netflix favorite Sweet Magnolias is gearing up for a major return. The beloved series will officially be back for season 5 in 2026 — and fans finally have a premiere date.
Star JoAnna Garcia Swisher confirmed on Instagram that Sweet Magnolias season 5 will debut June 11, 2026, teasing emotional twists, deepened friendships, and a bold new setting. This time, Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue leave Serenity behind for an adventure in New York City.
