We don't know about you, but we pretty much binged the latest season of Virgin River as soon as it was out.
The heartbreak! The revelations! The drama! We are hooked – and already counting down until the next season comes out – even if we have to wait another while to find out what happens to Jack, Mel and everyone else in the sleepy North California town.
Simultaneously, we are also impatiently waiting on the third instalment of Sweet Magnolias – and eagerly stalking the show's official Instagram for updates. For instance, we know that they started filming season 3 back in July, something which was also confirmed by Jamie Lynn Spears, who plays Noreen on the popular Netflix show.
Are you also a big fan of feel-good guilty-pleasure shows like Virgin River and Sweet Magnolias? You need to add these shows to your must-watch list ASAP – to tide you over while you wait.

In short: The OC's Rachel Bilson stars as Zoe Hart, a New Yorker who relocates to a small town in Alabama to take over her late father’s medical practice.
Viewers get to follow Hart as she tries to settle into her new surroundings. And while she is clearly finding it hard at first, things might not be so bad after all—thanks to a charming bartender.
2. Chesapeake Shores

Based on the novel series by Sherryl Woods (who is also the author behind the Sweet Magnolia books), Chesapeake Shores revolves around Abby, a mother who returns to her hometown, Chesapeake Shores, Maryland with her daughters to save her sister's inn from foreclosure.
