Hart of Dixie Season 5: TV Show Review

The series debuted in 2013 to great critical acclaim, but a small audience. The network ordered only 13 episodes for Season 1 and another 13 for Season 2. However, both seasons proved so successful that they were given an additional six episodes for Season 3 in order to wrap things up as well as leave the door open for a potential spinoff or a crossover between Dixie and her home state of New York. After this summer’s Crossover Event with New York’s own Ruby Rose’s OOPS! and Rachel Bloom’s Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, there is even more speculation about what could happen next. This week we got news that Rachel Green has been cast in the reboot of Roseanne and will join the show sometime after mid-season break in March 2019. With that in mind, let’s take a look at Hart of Dixie Season 5: Episode 9 “The Last Waltz.”

Why Hart of Dixie Season 5 Needs To Happen Immediately

If you’ve been following the news about the CW’s Hart of Dixie reboot, you’ll notice that its release date has been pushed back several times. The pilot was supposed to be released in Spring 2018, but has since been pushed back to Summer 2019, then Fall 2019 Fall 2020, and now, sometime in January 2021. Despite strong reviews, strong buzz, and very positive scores, the ratings haven’t been encouraging. The Hart of Dixie reboot hasn’t even managed to break the Top 100 in any of the key demographics. Despite a strong cast and a strong premise, the show doesn’t seem to be connecting with audiences. With shows like Supergirl and Arrow dominating the network’s Tuesday night line-up and The Flash, Supernatural, and Riverdale taking up the rest, there’s little room for a new series to break through. The CW needs a hit. The Hart of Dixie reboot could be it.

Sophia and Wade’s Wedding

Sophia (Rachel Bilson) and Wade (Wilson Bethel) are getting married! They’ve hit a major milestone in their relationship, and we’ve hit a major milestone in our need to see them have the big, romantic wedding we know they deserve. This is a big moment. Why did it have to be delayed? The Hart of Dixie reboot has been delayed several times, yet Rachel and Candice are in Perpetual Spin-Off Promo mode. Something must be up.

Wade and Zoe have been gone for months, and St. John is still trying to find his footing in this new trio.
