JoAnna García Swisher revealed why Sweet Magnolias fans will have to wait a little "longer" for season 5. During an exclusive interview with Us Weekly while promoting her partnership with Ziploc, Swisher, 45, teased what viewers can expect from season 5, saying, "It is very exciting this season. We are all over the place. It's taking us a little bit longer to complete a season because we've gotten the opportunity to travel." Season 4 of the hit Netflix series showed Swisher's character, Maddie, choosing to take a job in New York City - despite living in South Carolina.
