What will season two of Sweet Magnolias be about?
While we don't yet know exactly what kind of plot will follow in new episodes of Sweet Magnolias, there have been a number of hints about what fans can expect from season two. Showrunner Sheryl J Anderson told Metro Online last year: "I don't think we'd ever run out of stories between the lovely paths that Sherryl Woods laid out in the books.
Are you looking forward to season two?
"And then the added elements that we are able to bring in the TV writers' room as well. I think we could tell season after season of amazing Sweet Magnolias stories." Sheryl also confirmed that a new series would answer plenty of fans' questions after the season finale saw a dramatic twist with Maddie's (JoAnna García Swisher) son, Kyle and a mystery passenger involved in a car crash.
More recently, Maddie actress JoAnna has revealed that season two picks up immediately after the events of season one. Speaking to Parade, she said: "There is no time jump. You will literally pick up right after the accident, and then just hold on to your hats cause the next 10 episodes are gonna be a wild ride."
