The Ultimatum: Queer Lovemakes one thing abundantly clear: Straight couples don’t have a monopoly on commitment issues.
Brace yourself for even more relationship mess when the dating experiment returns for Season 2 with host JoAnna Garcia Swisher. This time around, the spin-off of The Ultimatum: Marry or Move Onis touching down with a batch of couples, made up of women and non-binary people, based in Miami for 10 new episodes.
Just like in Season 1, each couple faces a major crossroads in their relationship. The dilemma? One partner wants to settle down and get married, while the other isn’t quite ready to take the plunge. And so their relationship is put to the test: They agree to enter a trial marriage with other people in an attempt to figure out what — and perhaps more importantly who — they really want.

We’re one step closer to getting a new season of Sweet Magnolias on our screens with news today that filming on the fourth season of the series is set to begin in January 2024 and run through to the summer.
In case you missed it, Sweet Magnolias was given a fourth-season renewal on October 19th, following the third-season premiere in the summer on July 20th, 2023. Since that renewal, the writers on the show have been quietly working away.
The last update we had regarding any production was shortly after the renewal, where we got our first look at the crew behind the show on a Zoom call.

Netflix’s popular romantic drama Sweet Magnolias has been picked up for a fourth season. Like the first three seasons, Season 4 will consist of 10 episodes. The renewal comes three months after Season 3 of Sweet Magnolias debuted on July 20.
The delay in the announcement was due to logistics, including the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, but the pickup was never in doubt as the series continues to draw large, passionate female audiences. Across its three seasons to date, Sweet Magnolias has been in the Global Top 10 for 10 weeks in over 60 countries, with the most recent third season debuting at No. 1.
Still, fans had a mild reason for concern as the Season 3 finale largely wrapped storylines in a nice bow, ending on a dance and a kiss vs. major cliffhangers for the Season 1 and Season 2 enders, including a car crash with lives hanging in the balance and a surprise marriage proposal.

The drama never stops in Serenity. From cliffhanger car crashes to surprise paternity reveals, Netflix’s Sweet Magnolias has spent three seasons delivering compulsively binge-able episodes of soapy, heartwarming TV. But could Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue’s story have come to a close? The streamer has yet to reveal if Sweet Magnolias will return for season 4. But the season 3 finale definitely felt like it could be a series finale.

While they ended the season on a happy note, that engagement bliss was long gone in the Episode 10 reunion, streaming now on Netflix. Host JoAnna Garcia Swisher had been doing the rounds with the cast, asking about their noteworthy moments (good and bad) from the season when she asked Tiff about their fight with Sam Mark. Tiff barely got to comment on this moment before Mildred interrupted to shift the focus onto her. What happened next was a snowball of accusations as Mildred and Tiff fought about their sides of the story of their intense breakup. One of the revelations was Mildred revealing her arrest.

When Netflix revealed that actor JoAnna Garcia Swisher would be taking over for Nick and Vannesa Lachey as host of The Ultimatum: Queer Love, the announcement was met with widespread excitement. The Lacheys have become synonymous with the Netflix dating universe, but in recent months, fans have called for their removal, largely due to their disastrous performance during the "live" Love Is Blind Season 4 reunion. With public approval for the Lacheys declining, it made perfect sense to introduce a fresh face — especially alongside the streamer's first queer dating show.

JoAnna Garcia Swisher knows motherhood is a balancing act. "I struggle with it just as much as every mom does. I mean, we're pulled in so many different directions," she tells Popsugar. Still, she wants all moms to know that they should give themselves credit where credit is due.
"We're multitasking to the supreme, so I think it's so important to really just give yourself a little grace and to know that we can't do everything every day," she says. "As hard as it may seem when you're in the heat of the moment, even stepping away for just a few minutes is so important."
Swisher certainly has a lot going on. She serves as the host of Netflix's "The Ultimatum: Queer Love," a spinoff of "The Ultimatum" that focuses on queer couples exclusively, and stars in "Sweet Magnolias," which is set to release its third season in July.
