We knew Serenity seemed almost too good to be true! But now that we're in the know, we can add Covington, Georgia and Sumter, South Carolina to our travel wish list.When you think of a tropical vacation, chances are that relaxing in a shimmering infinity pool, cocktail in hand, taking in the views of sugary white sands and turquoise water, is not too far off.Ī gorgeous swimming pool (and at TPG, we’ve been vocal about our favorites) isn’t just the icing on the cake - it can truly make a vacation. Fans interested in visiting Covington should definitely include a stop at Mystic Grill, as it includes a museum of film and TV costumes which could soon be home to pieces from Sweet Magnolias. Is Sullivan's Restaurant real?Īnd you know Sullivan's Restaurant, the eatery owned by Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott) in Sweet Magnolias? It's actually Covington's Mystic Grill, which was also featured prominently in The Vampire Diaries. Sherryl Woods, the author of the Sweet Magnolias book series that the show is based on, has previously revealed that Serenity was inspired by another town altogether: Sumter, South Carolina, a place she used to visit every summer to see an old family friend. (Hello, Mystic Falls!) What town inspired Serenity? Sweet Magnolias fans may be surprised to learn that Serenity, South Carolina does not exist and in fact, the show was shot in an entirely different state.Īccording to Newsweek, Sweet Magnolias was filmed in the real-life town of Covington, Georgia, which has also served as the location for a number of other films and television series, most famously the hit CW series The Vampire Diaries.
Another thing the two towns have in common? They're both fictional! It's a place where everybody knows your name-and your business. Much like Gilmore Girls' Stars Hollow, Connecticut, Sweet Magnolias' Serenity, South Carolina, is quaint, charming, and idyllic.
For starters, they're both shows where the town itself serves as a character in the story, instantly welcoming you with a warm hug and making you feel like you've lived there your whole life. The latest Netflix sensation, Sweet Magnolias, has already drawn comparisons to the beloved, small-town dramedy Gilmore Girls, and for good reason. They may be surprised to learn that Sweet Magnolias was actually filmed in an entirely different state!.
But many fans of the Netflix show are wondering if it's a real place.
