Sweet Magnolias Season 4 was filmed in Georgia

Sweet Magnolias Season 4 has continued the show's trend of using real-world locations to stand for the story's beautiful fictional town of Serenity. Contrary to the show, the actual locations where the series is shot are in Georgia. Below is the list of the main filming locations of the series.

Covington, Georgia

The main filming location for the series is the famous filming town of Covington, Georgia. The town has witnessed the production of over 250 films and series including Remember the Titans, Sweet Home Alabama, Doctor Sleep, The Vampire Diaries, and Dukes of Hazzard, among many others.

The Serenity Public Library is actually the Covington Woman's Club, the clocktower shown in the opening credits is part of the Newton County Courthouse, and the Corner Spa is a law office.

The popular meeting point of Maddie and friends, Sullivans & Friends, is a real restaurant. However, in the real world, it is known as The Mystic Grill, named after the fictional bar from The Vampire Diaries.

Decatur, Georgia

Around 30 miles from Covington is the town of Decatur, another major filming location for Sweet Magnolias. The 25,000-strong city is part of the Atlanta metropolitan area. The town has already been used in popular projects such as The Falcon and Winter Soldier, Life of the Party, and The Blind Side.

In the series, the area's Oakhurst Presbyterian Church was utilized to dress up as Serenity's Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.

McDonough, Georgia

Around 21 miles southeast of Covington is the picturesque town of McDonough, where the Serenity High School is located. However, the actual school is called Henry County Middle School. The show's production team has filmed pivotal scenes in the school's baseball field. Many shots of downtown McDonough can also be noticed in the series.
