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.
Showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson says the move will test and strengthen the trio’s bond, offering a fresh backdrop while keeping the heart of the series intact. For fans who love the warmth of Virgin River, this next chapter of Sweet Magnolias promises the same comfort — with a big-city twist.
