Despite semi-frequent comparisons to Gilmore Girls, Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia is its own dramedy. It’s a genre-savvy addition to an otherwise crowded and competitive field. More importantly, fans are looking forward to its upcoming third season. And it’s not as if the show is a niche hit. It handily earned the second top spot as Netflix’s most-streamed show in early 2023. While its first season may have been a rocky start, critics have praised its second streaming foray as its best yet. Like many shows, it took time for Ginny & Georgia to find its stride.
As if the show’s rising prominence isn’t enough, it seems like big changes are just around the corner. In a recent interview with People magazine, Brianne Howey, Georgia’s actress, teased that her character will be doing “one or two things” viewers might find “hard to get behind.” It’s an exciting, larger-than-life statement, especially considering Georgia’s historically homicidal treatment of her exes.
Netflix’s Ginny & Georgia Is One of the Platform’s Most Recent (and Suprising) Success Stories
Ginny & Georgia is a joint Canadian-American production.
Back in 2021, a Season One throw-away insult drew fierce ire from Taylor Swift fans.
During filming, the Canadian flags at Ontario’s Victoria Hall were temporarily swapped for American counterparts.
The show’s second season had a late 2023 release, meaning it’s been over a year since many fans last saw the titular codependent duo. So, a refresher may be in order. As the title implies, the show follows the deeply and problematically intertwined lives of the two protagonists.
Her eldest daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), is just fifteen. Nonetheless, she possesses an immense sense of emotional maturity. Most of this comes from her status as the recipient of her mother’s constant emotional parentification. Thanks to her mother’s frequent relocations, neither Ginny nor her younger brother, Austin (Diesel La Torraca), have many friends.
More recently — at least in the Ginny & Georgia canonical timeline — the kids have enjoyed some much-needed but tentative stability. Maxine “Max” Baker (Sara Waisglass), a narcissistic teenager, has become Ginny’s new best friend. As of Season 2, the youthful duo is joined by two new members: Abby (Katie Douglas) and Norah (Chelsea Clark).
More to the point, the show’s pivotal second season ended on a nail-biting cliffhanger. Flashbacks show Georgia facing increasing violence from her ex, Gil Timmins (Smallville’s Aaron Ashmore), and drawing a gun. In the present, Georgia is arrested for murder. Being a dramedy, the arrest happens in the middle of her otherwise picturesque wedding ceremony. Needless to say, everyone present — including Georgia’s new husband and Wellsbury’s mayor, Paul Rudolph (Scott Porter) — is left flabbergasted.
What to Know About Ginny & Georgia Season 3
A tie-in bonus series, Ginny & Georgia: The Afterparty, was released in 2021.
Ginny & Georgia’s second season was in Nielsen’s top tens for eight consecutive weeks.
The series began production in 2019.
Here’s the good news: Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is ready for a June 5, 2025, debut. Everyone is set to reprise their roles, and the cast list shows a few newcomers to Wellsbury, Massachusetts. Both “Wolfe” (Ty Doran) and “Tris” (Noah Lamanna) are hitherto unknown names appearing in Season 3, and both are known to be Ginny’s classmates.
Not surprisingly, promotional photos hint at some juicy courtroom drama. Everyone is sharply dressed as they sit behind a wooden divider. This next instalment will span ten drama-laden episodes, and its synopsis promises a familial focus “like never before.”
In an official Netflix preview article, director and series creator Sara Lampert promises that Season 3 is all about pushing everyone to “new places” and performances that will leave fans speechless. Of course, the narrative must also tackle Georgia’s drama-filled and catastrophically toxic relationship with her daughter. When asked about that specific dynamic, Lampert ominously stated that the duo will “evolve in unexpected ways.”
