Sweet Magnolias season 3 is expected to arrive on Netflix between spring and summer this year. The series is inspired by Sherryl Woods' popular book series of the same name and chronicles the journey of three inseparable best friends living in the small town of Serenity.

Ever since the news of the Sweet Magnolias' renewal for a third season was released by Netflix, the audience has been eagerly waiting to see what the upcoming season will bring to the table. This is because season 2 ended with more unanswered questions than answers. On that note, this article will attempt to discuss a tentative release time for the series and who might be expected in Sweet Magnolias season 3.

Tentative release date, and what to expect from the upcoming season?

The highly anticipated third season reportedly wrapped filming on October 21, 2022, as revealed by the series' developer, Sheryl J. Anderson, who tweeted in a post from October 2022:

"We finished filming Season 3 last night. It’s been a joy to spend another season in Serenity, working with, laughing with, and learning from amazing artists in the cast and crew. Our community made something beautiful for you. I’m grateful to them and excited for you to see it!!!"

Given that Netflix shows usually take six to nine months to complete post-production work, the awaited season 3 of Sweet Magnolias will tentatively be released between March and May 2023.

There will be a total of ten episodes in the upcoming season. The list of writers for the new season includes Sheryl J. Anderson, Caron Tschampion, Anthony Epling, Barret Helms, Shani Am. Moore, Caron Tschampion and Sara Jumel. The new episodes will be directed by Norman Buckley, Mary Lou Belli, and a few others.

However, no official Sweet Magnolias season 3 trailer or synopsis has been made available yet.

In season 2, Maddie and Cal's relationship turned more complicated with Cal's gradually increasing anger issues, while Helen’s intriguing love life reached a crossroads. Since the season ended with the rising issues between characters, the upcoming installment will surely tie the loose strings.
