Netflix Drops 'Sweet Magnolias' Season 3 Trailer - Watch Now!

The brand new trailer for Sweet Magnolias season 3 is here!

JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, and Heather Headley are back together for another 10 episodes of the popular series.

Here’s the summary: Following the brawl at Sullivan’s, Maddie wrestles with the best way to help Cal and works to clear her own emotional path; Helen faces difficult decisions about the men in her life, and Dana Sue searches for a way to use Miss Frances’ check to help the community, without upending her family.

The identity of the tire slasher sends shockwaves through Serenity, the recall causes unexpected consequences, and there are romantic surprises in every generation.

Throughout the season, the ladies tackle these problems — and all the complications they cause — with their trademark warmth, humor, and devotion to each other and those they love. And margaritas.

Sweet Magnolias season three will be out on July 20.
