Grab yourself a margarita and get ready to "pour it out" in celebration, because Netflix has officially ordered a second season of Sweet Magnolias, the heartwarming series that stars All My Children alum Justin Bruening (ex-Jamie Martin) as super sexy baseball hunk Coach Cal.
Based on novels by writer Sherryl Woods, the romantic series follows best friends Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley). The drama proved extremely popular with fans, as did Bruening, whose character is now in a relationship with Swisher's Maddie.
Shares Swisher of Sweet Magnolias' renewal, "I have been counting down the minutes to be able to share the news! @netflix has renewed @sweetmagnoliasnetflix for another season! Each day I read all of your amazing messages and I'm truly humbled. This show has saved me in so many ways and I love that we get to continue telling our story. Thank you @Netflix! Thank you to every single person involved in the making of this special show! And thank all of YOU, for joining us in our little town and shining such a bright light on Serenity."
She continues, referencing the series' cliffhanger moment in which a character-- though viewers don't know which one -- is in critical condition after a car accident.
"I can promise #sweetmagnoliasS2 will be back with more stories to bring you hope, comfort, drama, and goodness! Until then...#whosinthecar! I swear I don't know...I would never keep that secret from ya'll," she teases. "Now I'm off to #pouritout!"
Netflix has yet to announce when the second season of Sweet Magnolias will premiere, so keep checking back to Soap Central for updates as they come.
Bruening won the hearts of daytime fans with his portrayal of AMC's Jamie, which he played from 2003 to 2007 and again in 2011. His other credits include Grey's Anatomy, Ringer, Switched at Birth, Hawaii Five-0, Ravenswood, and Good Behavior. He is married to AMC alum Alexa Havins (ex-Babe Carey).
