A 12 months after its premiere, “Sweet Magnolias” is lastly returning for season two on Feb. 4. The first installment of the Netflix series ends on a major cliffhanger with Kyle (Logan Allen) and an unknown passenger getting in a automotive accident. And whereas we have been hoping to get some solutions come season two, in response to Swisher, there’s rather more drama on the best way.
“It positively doesn’t resolve. I believe that the automotive crash — as a lot because it’s clearly very scary and nobody completely is aware of who’s within the automotive and what the fallout is — I believe the fallout is a lot deeper,” Swisher tells POPSUGAR. “Maddie thinks that she’s going to get to take a deep breath to course of the final 12 months of her life and all the private issues that she went by due to it. . . . However then inevitably, in ‘Candy Magnolias’ mysterious methods, she is straight away reminded that a complete new set of issues and dramas can happen. And so it simply would not let up. It simply would not let up.”
“Sweet Magnolias” has but to be renewed for a 3rd season, but when it does get picked up, Swisher is all in — and it looks like Netflix could also be on board as nicely. “I believe that there’s a nice pleasure and willingness to do it. I believe that Netflix has all the time been extremely supportive of the present, and we really feel like they actually like it,” she explains. “I believe everyone want to see it proceed. Clearly, it has to resonate with followers and achieve success in that method, however now we have each motive to consider that we’ll nonetheless get to proceed the story. And I hope that the followers love this season much more than they love the primary.”
