- Netflix canceled romantic drama "Sweet Magnolias" after a five-season run on the platform.
- JoAnna Garcia Swisher starred alongside Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley as the three leads of the axed series.
- Sheryl J. Anderson, the show's creator, is reteaming with Swisher on a new drama series.
- The new series, titled "Ladies of the House," has been ordered — though the source text cuts off before naming the buying network.
Why it matters: A five-season run made "Sweet Magnolias" one of Netflix's longer-running recent originals, so its cancellation ends a notable franchise for the streamer; meanwhile, the creator-star pairing carries directly into "Ladies of the House," which the source confirms is ordered but does not yet name a network — leaving the destination of the follow-up as the open question.
