What is Sweet Magnolias about?

Sweet Magnolias is a sweet-hearted melodrama based in the fictional town of Serenity, South Carolina.

Central to the story are three lifelong best friends – Maddie, Dana Sue and Helen – who meet up once a week for margaritas and help each other through life’s ups and downs.

As each deals with problems in their relationships, raising their kids and tackling hurdles in their careers, the three women work together to make sure they can get through anything.

Over the course of the series, this has included infidelity, divorce and co-parenting, launching their own businesses, and dealing with less-than-polite in-laws.

But in a town like Serenity, secrets are behind every closed door, and they’re sure to come spilling out among the community.
