Where Was ‘Sweet Magnolias’ Filmed?

Sweet Magnolias is back and sweeter than ever. The lovely Netflix show has returned for a second season, bringing more of Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley), and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) for a series of uplifting episodes. And in their delightful Southern town, everything seems serene and peaceful. Want to spend your Spring break lounging back like they do? We can help.

The second season of Sweet Magnolias picks up right where we left off. After the car wreck, the ladies are trying to position themselves back in their sunny, happy attitudes towards life while supporting one another. We won’t spoil it from there — although all ten episodes are already streaming on Netflix. Get bingeing!

Here’s everything you need to know about the production behind Sweet Magnolias.

Where is Sweet Magnolias set?

Sweet Magnolias is set in the small town of Serenity, South Carolina. But is Serenity a real place? Keep reading to find out.

Where is Sweet Magnolias filmed? Is Serenity, South Carolina a real place?

No, Serenity isn’t a real place, sadly. To make matters even more confusing, Sweet Magnolias isn’t even filmed in South Carolina! It’s actually filmed in Covington, Georgia. Georgia hosts a lot of productions, especially in Atlanta, so this makes sense for the Netflix Original. Covington has housed a number of productions before, including The Vampire Diaries, The Dukes of Hazzard, Remember the Titans, and many more

When was Sweet Magnolias Season 2 filmed?

The second season of Sweet Magnolias was filmed after the COVID vaccine started rolling out in April 2021, continuing into the summer and finishing up in July 2021.

Will there be a Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias?

As of now, we don’t know. Sweet Magnolias hasn’t been renewed, but it also hasn’t been canceled. The show was renewed two months after it debuted in 2020 — with that logic, we should expect renewal news by April or earlier. Keep checking back!
