May 11 (UPI) -- Netflix is giving a glimpse of Sweet Magnolias Season 5.

The streaming service shared a trailer for the season Monday featuring JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley.

Sweet Magnolias is a romantic comedy-drama based on the Sherryl Woods book series. The show follows Maddie (Swisher), Dana Sue (Elliott) and Helen (Headley), best friends from the fictional town of Serenity, S.C., as they navigate their personal and professional lives.

The Season 5 trailer shows Helen worry ahead of her wedding to Erik (Dion Johnstone), Dana Sue and her husband Ronnie (Brandon Quinn) experience tensions in their marriage, and Maddie miss her family.

Showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson told Netflix's Tudum that the new episodes are about "chasing your dreams."

"In everybody chasing their dreams, somebody's catching them, some people are finding they were changed, and some people are just stumbling," she said. "We like having the three ladies in different places every season."

Sweet Magnolias Season 5 premieres June 11 on Netflix.
