After Season 3 Disaster, Will Sweet Magnolias Get a Season 4 Renewal?

One month after its third season dropped on Netflix, Sweet Magnolias is still on everyone's lips. While some fans enjoyed the new installment, many keep ranting and raving about the series going downhill with its poor writing and character development. And of course, people are wondering if the show will even get renewed for a fourth installment.

In its three seasons, Sweet Magnolias has followed three longtime friends Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen as they try to run a spa together and improve their personal lives in the idyllic Southern town of Serenity. Viewers say the Netflix melodrama was a sweet and satisfying watch for most of its run, but the latest Season 3 turned out to be overly corny.

Although some people say the third season was a complete disaster, many admit the increased cheesiness didn't ruin the show but actually added to its appeal. The fans argue that Sweet Magnolias is a melodrama, and that's exactly what they expect it to feel like, so this recent drop in quality doesn't nip Season 4 in the bud.

'I didn't hate it,' a fan commented on the recent season. 'It's over-the-top cheesy but that's what I watch it for — it's just kinda low-stakes romance porn — it's cheesier this season but I still had fun watching it.'

Not surprisingly, the new installment has garnered decent viewership that may well grant the show a fourth season. Remarkably, the recent chapter of Sweet Magnolias has the highest rating on IMDb, with a mean score of 8.1.

Besides, the audience can't stop discussing the beloved show, even though their opinions on the latest installment vary. While some fans criticize and others laud Season 3, the overall buzz proves that the show is still relevant and in demand, which suggests that a Season 4 renewal is just a matter of time.

Previously, Sweet Magnolias was renewed for more seasons within some three months following the premieres: after Season 2 was released in February 2022, Season 3 was greenlit in May of the same year.

If this pattern continues, we should expect Netflix to announce a fourth season in the next two months. Fans hope that the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes won't prevent the streaming service from renewing the show, as people are keen to follow the story of Sweet Magnolias for at least one more season.
