Sweet Magnolias has just recently released its much-anticipated Season 5 on Netflix, and fans are already speculating what might happen in a potential Season 6 of the beloved show.
Will There Be a Sweet Magnolias Season 6?
That’s not clear. Netflix has not yet made an announcement as to whether the show will get renewed for Season 6.
Sweet Magnolias Season 5 just began airing on Netflix on June 11, so it’s pretty soon for the streaming service to make that decision before the final rates of show completion come in.
Season 4 premiered in February 2025, and Season 5 was announced that April. If a similar time frame applies this time around, then an announcement about Season 6 could happen in August of 2026.

“Three South Carolina women, best friends since high school, shepherd one another through the complexities of romance, career and family,” IMDb describes the show.

Dana Sue and her husband, Ronnie, were on the rocks as Season 5 came to a close after he prioritized his new business over their family. By the finale, Dana Sue had decided to get her own apartment, so it’s likely the two will be living apart in Season 6.
