'Sweet Magnolias' Canceled at Netflix as Sheryl J. Anderson and
JoAnna Garcia Swisher Set New Series 'Ladies of the House'
---------------------------------------------------------------
It's bittersweet news for "Sweet Magnolias."

The romantic drama starring JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott
and Heather Headley has been canceled at Netflix after five
seasons. But Swisher, alongside "Sweet Magnolias" creator
Sheryl J. Anderson, are pairing up for a new drama series ordered
by the streamer titled "Ladies of the House."

Anderson will serve as showrunner of "Ladies of the House," with
Swisher potentially starring and executive producing with Kate
Gordon under their Rolling Clover banner, alongside executive
producers at Black Label Media. The show is loosely based on the
novel by Lauren Edmonson.

The logline reads, "When the charismatic owner of a winery dies
unexpectedly, his wife and two adult daughters must battle through
their issues with each other in order to confront challenges with
the business, their extended family, and the men in their lives.
Good friends and good wine will aid in the journey to hang on to
the winery, but what matters most is that they find a way to hang
on to each other."

"I'm thrilled to be embarking on this new adventure with JoAnna
and Netflix," said Anderson. "When Jo shared the novel with me,
I immediately saw the foundation for a series centered on three
women grappling with the complexities of family, friendship, and
romance - the kind of stories Jo and I most enjoy telling. I cannot
wait to share the Richardson women and their world with Netflix's
global audience."

Swisher added, "From the moment I read Lauren Edmondson's Ladies of
the House, I fell completely in love with Daisy, Cricket and
Wallis: their relationships, their messiness, their strength, and
most of all, their heart. I am beyond excited to continue to tell
meaningful, female-driven stories alongside the incredible
Sheryl J. Anderson, and to bring this to life through our
production company Rolling Clover and with our wonderful partners
at Black Label. Netflix has been my creative home for the past
seven years, and I couldn't imagine a better place, or a better
team, to tell this story."
