Is there a trailer for the new season of ‘Sweet Magnolias’?
Yes! Netflix’s teaser for the fifth season of the romantic drama sees Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue strolling the streets of Manhattan. They stop outside of Tiffany & Co., where the bride-to-be Helen is considering making a purchase.
“Oh, this could very well be the something blue I need to complete my wedding ensemble,” she says.
“You don’t have your dress yes,” Dana Sue points out.
“She’s got the man,” Maddie chimes in. “Everything else is the details.”
After years of romantic heartbreak, Helen seems to be on verge of happily ever after. But she’s nervous that “something [is] going to go wrong” before she and Erik (Dion Johnstone) say “I do.”
Meanwhile, Dana Sue’s relationship with Ronnie (Brandon Quinn) has hit another rough patch, and she worries their marriage is like a balloon that’s “about to pop.” As for Maddie, she’s thrilled to be pursuing her dreams, but she’s struggling with missing everything that she’s left behind. Fortunately, she has husband Cal (Justin Bruening) to lean on for support.
Whatever life throws in this trio’s way this season, they’re confident they’ll be able to overcome it, thanks to their friendship.
“As much as we would like life to be a smooth path, it’s like peaks and valleys,” Helen says. “It’s up to us to hold on to each other.”
