Monica Potter Replaced by JoAnna Garcia Swisher in Netflix's 'Sweet Magnolias'

Monica Potter will no longer be starring in the upcoming Netflix series Sweet Magnolias.

The 48-year-old Parenthood actress has been replaced in the series by JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Deadline reports. It’s unknown why the show made the casting change.

JoAnna will now be playing Maddie Townsend – “a low-key, but resolute, warm and loving woman with a vocabulary like Southern poetry. She finds herself at a crossroads in her life and her best friends are trying desperately to convince her that now is the time for reinvention.”

Jamie Lynn Spears, Brooke Elliott, Heather Headley, Chris Klein, and Justin Bruening will also star. The series is based on Sherryl Woods’ popular series of novels set in Serenity, South Carolina.
