Pour yourself a glass: A new family drama is taking root at Netflix. Ladies of the House, a new series from Sweet Magnolias showrunner Sheryl J. Anderson, is officially on its way and will bring Lauren Edmondson's novel of the same name to the screen.

So what's being poured at this family winery? When its charismatic owner dies unexpectedly, his wife and two adult daughters must battle through their issues with each other in order to confront challenges with the business, their extended family, and the men in their lives. Good friends and good wine will aid in the journey to hang on to the winery, but what matters most is that they find a way to hang on to each other.

The series reunites Anderson with Sweet Magnolias star JoAnna Garcia Swisher. Anderson will serve as showrunner and executive producer, while Garcia Swisher and Kate Gordon will executive produce under their Rolling Clover banner. Black Label Media, the company behind La La Land and Sicario, will also executive produce.

"I'm thrilled to be embarking on this new adventure with JoAnna and Netflix," Anderson tells Netflix. "When Jo shared the novel with me, I immediately saw the foundation for a series centered on three women grappling with the complexities of family, friendship, and romance - the kind of stories Jo and I most enjoy telling. I cannot wait to share the Richardson women and their world with Netflix's global audience."

"From the moment I read Lauren Edmondson's Ladies of the House, I fell completely in love with Daisy, Cricket, and Wallis: their relationships, their messiness, their strength, and most of all, their heart," Garcia Swisher tells Netflix. "I am beyond excited to continue to tell meaningful, female-driven stories alongside the incredible Sheryl Anderson, and to bring this to life through our production company, Rolling Clover, and with our wonderful partners at Black Label. Netflix has been my creative home for the past seven years, and I couldn't imagine a better place, or a better team, to tell this story."

Ladies of the House joins Netflix's growing slate of feel-good comfort entertainment, including series such as Virgin River, Little House on the Prairie, Leanne, The Hunting Wives, and America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders, as well as films like Ruth & Boaz, Remarkably Bright Creatures, and the upcoming Guarding Stars.
