‘Sweet Magnolias’: JoAnna Garcia Swisher Hints at Maddie & Cal Honeymoon in Season 5
The Sweet Magnolias family is wasting no time getting down to business. The sweet, small-town Netflix series is currently filming the fifth season, and we can’t help but keep wondering when Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher) and Cal (Justin Bruening) will get to treat themselves to a honeymoon after their surprise Halloween party wedding in Season 4.
Fans already know that Maddie got a job in New York City, and her besties, Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) and Helen (Heather Headley), will be visiting her in the Big Apple. “It was really fun, and I think it was the perfect moment in our show to be able to do that, to be able to go explore a new city,” Swisher told Swooon.
She was quick to add, “It’s not the only city that we’re exploring in Season 5, though.” That immediately had us thinking about a honeymoon trip for Maddie and Cal.
When we brought it up to Swisher, the actress only said, “Cal gets a trip somewhere.” We pressed on specifically about a honeymoon, and all Swisher said was, “It’s a good one.”
Bruening previously told Swooon that he was all in for a Maddie and Cal romantic getaway. “I would like to go on a honeymoon. That would be wonderful,” he said.
The All My Children alum also admitted that he’s hoping for Maddie and Cal to welcome a little one into their family. “I almost thought it was going to happen this season because we were going into our room a lot, but we haven’t gone on a honeymoon yet, so who knows,” he said. “It’s up to the powers that be, but I would love to see that.” (In the book series, Maddie and Cal do have two kids together.)
