JoAnna Garcia Swisher Reveals 'Sweet Magnolias' Season 5 'Has the Most Romance,' Plus Her Thoughts on a Baby for Maddie and Cal (Exclusive)
JoAnna Garcia Swisher Reveals 'Sweet Magnolias' Season 5 'Has the Most Romance,' Plus Her Thoughts on a Baby for Maddie and Cal (Exclusive) originally appeared on Parade. While the titular Magnolias in Sweet Magnolias made their way to New York City in the upcoming season, they didn't trade their margaritas for cosmos à la Carrie Bradshaw. "We drank tequila all the way through Manhattan," star JoAnna Garcia Swisher laughed in an exclusive new interview with Parade. While they're back in Serenity now, and are heading to another destination at the end of Season 5, the beloved Netflix series shot in the Big Apple at the beginning of the summer. "I'm not gonna lie, Maddie liked NYC," the actress admitted. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias ended with Swisher's character, Maddie, deciding to accept a job offer from a publishing house in New York. After everything Maddie has gone through, Swisher says she relishes the opportunity "to be able to step into a moment for Maddie where she kind of did choose herself a little bit and see where that leads her." "[The Magnolias] have a lot of fun. We covered a lot of ground in Manhattan, and I think it's in Magnolia style with a lot of gratitude, a lot of just taking it all in," Swisher shared. "I love the way that the Magnolias look at the world, and look at their friendship, and look at the idea that we can have it all and we deserve to believe in ourselves in that way." Related: Swisher revealed that Sweet Magnolias fans can look forward to a new batch packed with romance and drama. "This season, in particular, has the most romance, I think, that we've ever had on our show in all five seasons," adding, "It's hard to even believe, but the most drama, too." Could a baby be in Cal and Maddie's future? Swisher doesn't know, but mysteriously teased, "This season is filled with new possibilities and new beginnings.". I don't mean to be so cagey about it, but I am excited to see how people feel about the idea of Cal and Maddie expanding their family after they watch the season. So I'm interested to see what fans will be rooting for after that." Related: Swisher, who made her directorial debut in Season 4 of Sweet Magnolias, is back in the director's chair this season, helming two episodes. Directing and acting are just two of the many hats that the Reba alum wears—she's also an executive producer. On Aug. 2, Swisher's production company, Rolling Clover, debuted its first cable series, Providence Falls, with Hallmark Media. The three-part event, starring The Bold Type's Katie Stevens, Tracker's Lachlan Quarmby and Spinning Out's Evan Roderick, is based on JudeDeveraux and Tara Sheets' book series of the same name. Funnily enough, Swisher read the first book while she was working in Ireland for Hallmark. "It felt very full circle in that way. Everything felt very meant to be about all of this," she said. "It's definitely a pinch-me moment in my life. Just even seeing the movies come together has been a dream come true. But now the thought of being able to share them with the world, it feels very special." And there are many other exciting projects on the horizon for Swisher. The co-founder of The Happy Place teased, "We have a very cool crime-solving procedural that we are developing right now. We have a little bit of a dark romance, we're looking in the world of fantasy. We are just excited about bringing stories to life and adapting novels and really anything that will resonate with people, that will make people feel inspired, that they can see themselves in. We want people to connect with the stories that we tell, and that's very much from every starting point of any project that we've taken on. But we have some exciting things that we're going to be rolling out." Part 2 of Providence Falls premieres Aug. 9 at 8 p.m. ET on Hallmark Channel, followed by Part 3 on Aug. 16. Next, JoAnna Garcia Swisher Reveals 'Sweet Magnolias' Season 5 'Has the Most Romance,' Plus Her Thoughts on a Baby for Maddie and Cal (Exclusive) first appeared on Parade on Aug 6, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Aug 6, 2025, where it first appeared.

Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, has had a rough go of it the past couple of years, between all the trademark paper debacles and her Netflix deal running out. However, her brand As If has been thriving nonetheless, despite what Prince William and Kate Middleton's pals may think. Now, we know not everyone is a fan of Meghan's Netflix show, but apparently, William and Kate's friends have a rather harsh nickname for the show. More from SheKnows An inside royal source told DailyMail that the Wales' pals roasted the lifestyle company being rebranded to As Ever in Feb 2025, giving it the nickname of 'As If.' It's reported that they mean 'as if,' as in 'as if it will take off.' One even reportedly said, 'It's caused quite a bit of laughter within the group. WhatsApp messages have been going back and forth. It's all very budget and rushed. Embarrassing, really.' Um, yikes. DUSSELDORF, GERMANY - SEPTEMBER 16: Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex and Meghan, Duchess of Sussex are seen during the closing ceremony of the Invictus Games Düsseldorf 2023 at Merkur Spiel-Arena on September 16, 2023 in Duesseldorf, Germany. (Photo by) Now, it's unclear whether William and Kate have joined in on that nickname, but it's not the first time we've heard of royal pals (or royal staff) giving Meghan an unflattering nickname. In fact, the royal staff allegedly called her 'Duchess Difficult.' (They claimed she sends multiple emails and texts with her 'incessant stream of ideas' as early as 5 a.m. and that her style of management is something 'veteran royal aides just aren't used to.' A source even claimed that 'the most difficult job in the royal family is to work with Meghan's ambitions and make them realizable.')

Virgin River Cast Shakeup: Will One Tree Hill Vet Cause Trouble for Mel and Jack?
Is the honeymoon period already over for newlyweds Mel and Jack on Virgin River? Last we saw the Netflix drama, Mel and Jack had gotten hitched, and then in the final moments of the Season 6 finale, mom-to-be Marley approached Mel and offered up her soon-to-arrive baby! Showrunner Patrick Sean Smith told Tudum that 'we've only just begun to see Mel and Jack function as a married couple, which is exciting.' Season 7 will 'explore the honeymoon phase for them as they're building their lives on the farm, which can come with its own obstacles,' he added. More from Virgin River Shocker: Cast Gets Big News Ahead of Season 7 Premiere Now comes news that a handsome addition is making his way to Virgin River, with One Tree Hill vet Austin Nichols joining the cast for Season 7, our sister site TVLine reports. The actor teased his arrival in an Instagram video, sharing, 'Hey guys, I just landed in Virgin– I mean, Vancouver. I'm starting a new job, and I can't wait for you guys to see it.' No details are currently available about Nichols' role or what his presence will mean for the rest of the characters, but what would a TV show be without conflict? (Not very interesting!) As previously announced, Nichols won't be the only new cast member next season: Sara Canning (The Vampire Diaries) and Cody Kearsley (Riverdale) have joined the series in recurring roles, Deadline reported. Canning will play Victoria, an ex-cop who now works for the state medical board and comes to Virgin River to investigate Doc's practice. In the process, she 'runs into a friend whom she wouldn't mind catching up with…or maybe more.' Kearsley will portray Clay, who's looking for his younger sister with whom he grew up in the foster care system. Meanwhile, Mark Ghanime, who played Dr. Cameron Hayek since Season 4, won't be returning to the show full-time. 'I love Mark, who plays Cameron, and I love the character of Cameron,' Smith told TVLine in December 2024. 'He will always be a part of the world, and I would love to see his character back, but he won't be a series regular in Season 7, unfortunately.' Additionally, Smith confirmed to TV Insider that there are 'no plans' to see Lexa Doig's Paige again, with her and Preacher's relationship officially over. Virgin River recently received some big news: a very early renewal for Season 8, ahead of its seventh season, which does not yet have a premiere date.
