What to expect from Sweet Magnolias season 2

Fans have tons of questions going into season 2, especially after the dramatic way season one came to an in depth , particularly within the last 10 minutes.

The big cliffhanger at the top of season 1 is the outcome of the fight from the after-prom party. It led to a car crash and Kyle is currently unconscious. However, it’s never revealed who the passenger within the car is so that’s the main question leading into season 2.

Elsewhere, Maddie is already strained by the very fact that her ex-partner has suggested they provide their relationship another shot while using her kids as an honest reason to offer it a go.

Helen just split from her on-and-off-again boyfriend, so it’ll be interesting to ascertain what happens there especially since she’s desperate for a toddler .

Finally, Dana has her own problems trying to stay her business afloat and is now confronted with the very fact she may have an estranged son working in her kitchen.
