Sweet Magnolias is currently sitting in the UK Top 10 on Netflix after the second series was released earlier this month.
The American romantic drama follows three lifelong best friends - Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Helen (Heather Headley) and Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) - as they navigate and juggle their families, careers and relationships in a small town in South Carolina called Serenity.
The feel-good second series picks up from the first instalment which ended on a huge cliff-hanger after the three friends discovered there had been a car crash in the town on the night of their children's prom.

But the questions many viewers are asking are is Sweet Magnolias based on a true story and where is it filmed? Here's everything you need to know:
Is the Netflix drama based on a true story?
No, Sweet Magnolias isn't based off a true story - it has actually been based off a best-selling book series of the same name.
The series has been created by Sheryl J. Anderson - also known for her work on Charmed (1998) and TV series Detective McLean - and has been based off the Sweet Magnolias book series written by Sherryl Woods.
The first book was released back in 2007 and was titled Stealing Home. There are now 11 novels in total in the series - with the most recent being released in 2014.
So we hope that means there will plenty more still to come from the Netflix series.
Where is Sweet Magnolias filmed and is Serenity a real town?
The series is set in a fictional town in South Carolina called Serenity and is actually filmed in Covington, Georgia in America.
Filming for the first season of the Netflix show first started in the Summer of 2019 and they returned in Spring 2021 to film season two.
The Sweet Magnolia cast and crew are not the first to set up a shoot in the small Georgia town.
The 2002 film Sweet Home Alabama starring Reese Witherspoon and Josh Lucas and 2009 to 2017 series The Vampire Diaries have both been filmed in the same location.
Both season one and two of Sweet Magnolias are available to stream now on Netflix.
