‘Sweet Magnolias’ Star Justin Bruening Talks Cal & Maddie’s Future and Season 5 Hopes

Sweet Magnolias Season 4 was full of changes, especially for Cal (Justin Bruening) and Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher). The beloved Serenity couple had a surprise wedding during the town’s Halloween party, but there wasn’t much time to celebrate after that due to Bill’s sudden and shocking death.

As Maddie and her kids coped with the loss, Cal was right there to be a pillar of support. However, Cal dealt with his own struggles as he tried to balance everyone’s needs and the pressure he’s always put on himself. Just as everything started to settle in Serenity, Maddie got the opportunity of a lifetime — in New York City. Bruening spoke with Swooon about Cal and Maddie’s next chapter in a possible Season 5.
