The Sweet Magnolias ladies are thick as thieves!
While promoting her partnership with Post-it® Brand and Scotch™ Brand for the launch of its ultimate all-in-one Back-to-School Countdown Kit, star JoAnna Garcia Swisher opened up about her close bond with castmates Brooke Elliott and Heather Headley.
“I mean, speaking for myself, I feel like they’re two of my favorite women. I genuinely love working with them,” Garcia Swisher, 44, tells PEOPLE exclusively. “We are so different, but we celebrate each other in such a way, and we have our own role.”
Revealing her own role in their friendship, the Reba alum admits: “I am just the one that’s the loose cannon.”‘
“I don’t know how I got that title,” she continues, adding, “But it’s really so fun. They make me laugh.”
Being able to work alongside Elliott and Headley, both 49, makes her days on set that much easier for Garcia Swisher.
“I love working with them so much. It’s hard work what we do. It’s not easy. We work crazy hours. We’re in the elements and all of these things, but just to be with them and be on this journey together and not take anything too seriously,” she shares. “I feel like our outtakes are absurd.”
The actress adds, “It’s really a sisterhood. There is such an affection and love for each other and they just make me happy.”
Garcia Swisher announced in May that Sweet Magnolias, which premiered on Netflix in 2020, had wrapped production on its upcoming fourth season. She initially shared with fans on Instagram that it was “BY FAR my favorite season,” later telling PEOPLE that she was even taken aback by all the twists and turns.
“First and foremost, a lot happens in season 4 — like, jaw-dropping moments. I also think that we know our characters so well. We’re so involved and in love with these stories, and I think that the fans also have that same sense of connection and being on this journey with us,” she said, noting how “this season isn’t without its inevitable swooping romance and beautiful moments and really tough, heartbreaking moments.”
“It’s got all of the Sweet Magnolias things, but it’s just in a package of pedal to the metal,” she continued of the new season, which has yet to receive an official release date. “There’s not just one or two things that happen this season. And literally, the first half of the season.”
Seasons 1-3 of Sweet Magnolias can be streamed on Netflix.
