Soothe your soul with these comforting romance dramas.
We have good news and bad news. The good news is that Netflix officially announced that Sweet Magnolias has been renewed for a third season over the summer. The bad news is that we have no idea when Sweet Magnolias Season 3 will be released. We know, Season 2 only premiered earlier this year, but we can still miss our favorite comforting rom-dram.
Sweet Magnolias stars JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Maddie, a soon-to-be divorced mom of three children whose husband (Chris Klein) leaves her for a younger woman (Jamie Lynn Spears). On top of dealing with the fallout from her husband's very public affair, she's also juggling raising her kids and managing a new business with her best friends, Helen (Heather Headley) and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott). But thanks to her new relationship with her son's new baseball coach, former Major Leaguer Cal Maddox (Justin Bruening), things are finally starting to look up for Maddie.While you wait for Sweet Magnolias Season 3, check out our list of similar shows featuring small-town stories and sweeping romances that will leave you wanting more. If you're a Sweet Magnolias fan, these are the shows you should watch next.
Sweet Magnolias has a healthy helping of romance, but that's not all the show has in common with Virgin River. Also based on a book series, the Netflix drama follows Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge), a nurse practitioner who leaves Los Angeles for a remote but picturesque small town in Northern California to start over after a series of traumatic heartbreaks. Although she struggles to fit in at first — her new boss (Tim Matheson) doesn't make it too easy — a fast friendship with the rugged local bartender/restaurant owner (Martin Henderson) soon turns romantic, opening up a new chapter and a chance to move on.
Sweet Magnolias is a Netflix series in the vein of a Hallmark series, so why not watch an actual Hallmark series? When Calls the Heart, which was inspired by a series of novels by Janette Oke, has the same small-town charm of Sweet Magnolias, only it's set in a small town on the Canadian frontier. The romantic period drama stars Erin Krakow as a young teacher from a privileged upbringing who receives a teaching position in Coal Valley, a small mining town in Western Canada. We don't want to spoil it, but she may or may not fall in love with a hot Mountie.
