This week brings a new season of two Netflix Original shows, a new documentary, and a new historical drama.

Sweet Magnolias season 2 is finally here! It hits Netflix on Friday, Feb. 4, 2022. The show follows three Southern women who have been best friends since high school. As they experience romance, career highs and lows, and starting families, they support each other every step of the way.

This season will start with more information about Kyle and how’s he doing after the car accident. We’ll also learn who was in the car with him.

She does her best to try to keep his gift hidden from the world.

Season 2 will show Dion learning more about his powers and finding a way to bring his dad back for good. But things won’t be easy and he’ll have to face lots of challenges along the way.
