JoAnna Garcia Swisher (Maddie) Heather Headley (Helen) and Brooke Elliott (Dana Sue) all reprise their respective roles in the new season as the lifelong best friends. The rest of the season 4 cast includes Jamie Lynn Spears (Noreen), Justin Bruening (Cal), Carson Rowland (Ty), Logan Allen (Kyle), Anneliese Judge (Annie), Chris Medlin (Isaac), Brandon Quinn (Ronnie), Dion Johnstone (Erik), and others.

Here's what the fourth season will be about via Netflix:

"This season, storms — both emotional and meteorological — disrupt life in Serenity, bringing Maddie, Helen, and Dana Sue even closer in unexpected ways. It’ll also feature the women celebrating the holiday season — from Halloween to Christmas — with surprising laughter, unexpected heartbreak, and renewed resolve. (Don’t worry — margaritas are involved too.)

While negotiating the twists and turns of their romantic lives, Maddie, Dana Sue, and Helen must also navigate the return of old foes, the loss of great loves, and the painful transition from old dreams to new ones. As the men in their lives pursue their own goals and their teenagers take uneasy steps toward adulthood, the Magnolias support each other with creative problem-solving, deep-hearted commitment, and — as always — weekly margaritas."

Sweet Magnolias season 4 is set to make its way to Netflix on Feb. 6 at 12:00 a.m. PT/3:00 a.m. ET.
