Sweet Magnolias' Brooke Elliott pens emotional tribute to team behind season 4
Sweet Magnolias will be returning for more as Netflix has given the green light for a fifth series. WARNING: This article contains spoilers from Sweet Magnolias. Sweet Magnolias star Brooke Elliott, has taken to Instagram to express a heartfelt thanks to everyone involved in the show. After an agonising two-year hiatus, the third season of Netflix's much-loved romantic drama Sweet Magnolias finally returned to screens, offering up plenty of drama and intrigue in the idyllic town of Serenity. In the show's most recent season, we see Brooke Elliott's character, Dana Sue Sullivan, diving into a new adventure as she helps open a cookery school with the newly established Magnolia Community Foundation. Despite initially battling challenges with relinquishing control at Sullivan's restaurant to become a silent partner, Dana Sue finds her true passion lies within teaching her cooking expertise at the new establishment. With season three concluding, Elliott didn't miss the opportunity to extend her gratitude towards her fellow cast members and the diligent crew, especially shining a light on those who work magic behind the lens. Singling out the episode 'The Bulldog's Tailgating' as one of her best experiences during filming, Elliott praised the fun atmosphere and commitment to the craft evident on set. Elliott also gave a nod to the incredible efforts made by the wardrobe team, who decked the cast out in eye-catching Bulldog gear for the episode. Along with posting several snaps that gave fans a peek behind the curtains of the production, she delightfully penned: "The Bulldog's Tailgating episode was one of my favorites to shoot. We had so much fun." She continued with the heartfelt quip: "Don't underestimate how hard you can laugh when you give 100% to all out barking." Elliott then went onto post: "Special shoutout to our immensely talented wardrobe department for making all of our Bulldog Swag. "They put meticulous detail into our show and we are so lucky to have them on Sweet Mags." The fourth series began with a surprise as it was revealed that Bill Townsend (played by Chris Klein) had died off-screen. The sudden demise of Maddie Townsend's (portrayed by JoAnna Garcia Swisher) ex-husband sent shock waves through the tranquil town of Serenity, prompting characters to contemplate their lives. In a dramatic twist, the season's closing moments revealed that Maddie had secured a publishing gig in the bustling Big Apple, casting doubts on her continued journey with the 'Sweet Magnolias'. Netflix has already greenlit a fifth series, promising another dose of drama as Maddie navigates the next segment of her storyline.
