Is Season 3 the End of 'Sweet Magnolias'? Here's What We Know

Sweet Magnolias is finally back, and while viewers of the Netflix drama settle in for a good, old-fashioned binge-watch, one question is bound to arise: Is Sweet Magnolias returning for season 4? No spoilers in case you haven't finished, but season 3 leaves viewers with some unanswered questions, and we're all ready to head back to Serenity once again.

Here's what we know: Netflix has not commented on the future of Sweet Magnolias, and we don't expect to get a renewal update any time soon. Streaming services tend to give a show a few weeks to see how they perform before making any official decisions, but it took three months after season two dropped for the season three announcement. (There are exceptions: Netflix went ahead and renewed Virgin River for season four and five at the same time.)

But the current climate has further complicated things. With the ongoing actors' and writers' strikes, all production and filming for scripted TV shows and movies is on hold. What's more, the time between seasons of Sweet Magnolias has been longer than most shows, with a year and 9 months between season one and season two, and a year and five months between seasons four and five.

So what does that mean for fans wanting to know if Sweet Magnolias has been renewed, or if season 3 is the end? Well, we expect you're in for a wait. To pass the time, we suggest checking out the books by Sherryl Woods that were the basis for the Netflix series (there are 11!).
