One of Netflix’s best original feel-good shows is Sweet Magnolias, so it comes as no surprise that a third season of Serenity has been confirmed. Here is all we currently know about Sweet Magnolias season 3, which will start filming this summer. We also discuss what to expect and how season 2 of Sweet Magnolias did on Netflix.
While there have been significant differences between the plot given in the book and what we’ve seen on screen, the series is based on the novel series by Sherryl Woods, and there is a tonne more source material for it to draw from. So let’s examine the potential for Sweet Magnolias season 3 and what to anticipate.
Will Netflix renew Sweet Magnolias for a third season?
We still hadn’t heard if season 2 would be renewed or cancelled two months later, but in early May, we got the good news that more episodes were on the way. Season 3 will once again consist of ten episodes. Following the confirmation, the Sweet Magnolias Writers Twitter page tweeted, “We’re heading back to Serenity, y’all! We are delighted to announce that Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias is now available. I can’t wait to see you all.”
Sweet Magnolias, unlike some of the other shows in the genre, has not been renewed in advance, so it all comes down to viewership and the series’ “stickiness.”
That is, while calculating what is known as adjusted view share, Netflix will consider the show’s viewership as well as other criteria.
Our renewal prediction was that the programme would be renewed because it has a strong fan base and is one of the few series that appeals to a wide audience across the United States.
How did Sweet Magnolias season 2 do on Netflix?
According to Netflix’s top ten stats, viewing of Sweet Magnolias swiftly declined after a good start.
With the introduction of season 2, there was also an increase in viewing for the first season. Between February 6th and February 13th, Season 1 received 21.64 million hours of viewing.
The series was viewed 161,300,000 times globally between January 30th and March 6th, 2022 (the first 30 days on the site). With a large photo of the cast and crew, the Sweet Magnolias writer’s room celebrated their 7th day in a row in the Netflix top tens.
Aside from viewing statistics, we can see how the show is doing on Google Trends and IMDb’s MovieMeter.
IMDb’s MovieMeter monitors inbound traffic to individual programme and movie pages. It gives you a decent notion of how popular shows are in comparison to other networks. The first season of the show peaked at #4 in its first week, but the second season only managed to reach #15 in its first week.
When will Sweet Magnolias Season 3 be released?
Although production dates have not been set, we have learned that filming will begin in the summer of 2022. It will be shot in Covington and Atlanta, Georgia in the United States once more.
The show’s production team was looking for new sites in early June 2022. Sheryl Anderson wrote on Instagram, “Thrilled to be thinking and planning Season 3 with friends, old and new!!!”
On July 1st, show star Joanna Garcia Swisher revealed on Instagram that she has coloured her hair again to reprise her part in the next third season, implying that filming is approaching. Assuming the show follows a similar filming schedule to season 2 (in production for 3-4 months), it should be completed by the fall, implying a mid-2023 release date for Netflix.
