Sweet Magnolias on Netflix

The Netflix Original series tells the story of three women and their bond, as they face their own challenges. Netflix first announced the series in 2018 and released Season 1 on May 19, 2020.

Season 1 recap

As a reminder, at the end of Season 1, it left a huge cliffhanger. This relates to the outcome of the fight following the after-prom party. The fight led to a car crash, with Kyle unconscious. Meanwhile, one major cliffhanger was the identity of the passenger in the car, which will be a major question heading into Season 2.

Fans will remember that Helen has just split from her boyfriend, leaving many questions, especially as she is longing to have a child. On the other hand, Maddie is under strain over the fact that her former partner wants to give their relationship another go, using her kids as an excuse. As for Dana, she is under major strain trying to keep her business going. On top of this, she is now pressured by the fact that she might have an estranged son working in her kitchen.
