In January 2023, the genre-bending Netflix hit Ginny & Georgia returned for its second season, filled with laughs, tears, and another huge cliffhanger. The small-town thriller picked up right where season 1 ended, as Ginny (Antonia Gentry) was left reeling after learning that her mother Georgia (Brianne Howey) murdered her late stepfather to protect her. Throughout the season—which thankfully didn't keep Ginny away from Wellsbury for long—both the mother and daughter had to reckon with Georgia's past, which continued to haunt Georgia in the lead-up to her wedding with town mayor Paul (Scott Porter).
Like the first installment, Ginny & Georgia season 2 ended with many unanswered questions, including a final scene that completely blows up the Millers' lives. It's an ending that demands another season, and after several months of waiting, Netflix has just given word on when viewers can return to Wellsbury Read on for everything we know so far about Ginny & Georgia season 3.
Has 'Ginny & Georgia' been renewed for a third season?
Yes! Netflix finally announced in May 2023 that Ginny & Georgia was renewed for both season 3 and season 4(!). They dropped the long-awaited news during their Upfronts presentation, also revealing that Sarah Glinski will join the series as showrunner for season 3, replacing Debra J. Fisher.
The news came four months after the January 2023 premiere of season 2, which hit No. 1 on the streamer as soon as it dropped and remained within the Top 10 most popular shows for several months. Netflix co-CEOs Ted Sarandos and Greg Peters also name-checked Ginny & Georgia as a "phenomenal US success" in a Bloomberg interview. (The one where they claimed that they've "never canceled a successful show.")
When will 'Ginny & Georgia' season 3 come out?
After a long wait, Netflix has announced that Ginny & Georgia will finally return for season 3 on June 5, 2025. The new episodes will arrive 29 months after season 2's debut in January 2023, marking one of the longest breaks between seasons for a Netflix original.
According to Tudum, season 3 began filming in April 2024 and wrapped in August. Sarah Glinski told the outlet of season 3, “It’s incredibly complex, filled with lots of love but also lots of pain. This season, we’ll see it evolve in unexpected ways. These women don’t start and end the season the same people."
Which of the cast will return for 'Ginny & Georgia' season 3?
After season 2's shocking ending, the entire main cast of Ginny & Georgia is expected to return for season 3: Brianne Howey (Georgia Miller), Antonia Gentry (Ginny Miller), Diesel La Torraca (Austin Miller), Felix Mallard (Marcus Baker), Sara Waisglass (Max), Jennifer Robertson (Ellen), Nathan Mitchell (Zion), Scott Porter (Mayor Paul Randolph), Raymond Ablack (Joe), Alex Mallari Jr. (Gabriel Cordova), Nikki Roumel (young Georgia), Katie Douglas (Abby), Chelsea Clark (Norah), and Tameka Griffiths (Bracia).
Who are the new cast members joining 'Ginny & Georgia' season 3?
In September 2024, Netflix marked the end of filming on season 3 by revealing two new cast members joining Wellsbury High. Per Variety, Manifest alum Ty Doran will play "Wolfe, a laid-back student in Ginny’s poetry class who is not particularly interested in academics." Also, Noah Lamanna will portray "Tris, a brainy skateboarder and a peer tutor who is a close friend of Marcus and Silver."
What will season 3 of 'Ginny & Georgia' be about?
Just when we thought that season 2 would end with the beautiful scenes of Georgia and Paul's town hall wedding (that cape! that dress! Milkshake!), it was ruined as PI Gabriel and the cops crashed during the couple's first dance, arresting Georgia for the murder of Cynthia's husband, Tom Fuller. Of all of Georgia's past crimes, she finally got caught for the most recent—the one with an actual witness. Unfortunately, that witness was her son Austin, who assured Ginny that he "didn't tell anyone" before running off behind the cop car that was taking his mother to jail. (They really need to get that kid into therapy.)
Season 3 is set to begin in the immediate aftermath of Georgia's arrest. The official synopsis reads: "Georgia (Brianne Howey) has just been arrested for murder during her wedding—ruining her fairy tale ending and putting the spotlight on the Millers like never before. It's always been Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this. Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove—is the two of them against the world something Ginny really wants to sign up for?”
There are so many threads that the show needs to explore just based on Georgia's arrest: How can Georgia get out of jail? Will Paul continue to stand by her and the kids? Has the arrest tanked his re-election chances? Where do things stand with Cynthia and Georgia? What will Ginny and Austin's reactions be now that they know the truth about their mother's past? There's also the question of Gil, who plans to keep fighting for custody of Austin and will likely try to use Georgia's arrest to his advantage. Amid all that, the show will have to balance its core relationships, including Ginny and Marcus' post-breakup friendship (relationship? situationship?) and the simmering attraction between Georgia and Joe.
Back in January 2023, creator Sarah Lampert assured fans that there was a plan to balance the "surprises" the creative team has in store for season 3. She also told Deadline that Ginny and Georgia will probably evolve into a different form in the new season.
She explained that season 3 is going to look "really different" now that it's centered on "a woman who was a superhero at what she did, and now she’s been caught...It’s almost like Superman got taken down. We’ll see if she can get out of this mess she’s found herself in."
What have the cast and crew said about season 3?
Lampert also touched on several characters' love lives in the wide-ranging Deadline interview, including Georgia and Joe, Ginny and Marcus, and Maxine and Silver. When asked whether Ginny and Marcus could get back together, she hinted that some big changes could happen once the writers start working.
"In terms of season 3, all bets are off," she said. "Maybe there are new characters, who knows? We don’t have a season 3 yet. The process of the writers's room is very much, [showrunner Debra J. Fisher] and I going in with our plan. We have it all planned out, we have some really structured ideas of what we want it to look like. But then in the writers's room, everything always changes, you have so many more brains coming to the table, and you have a better idea... The best idea wins in the writers's room, so I could tell you right now what the plan is, and it might not be at all what shows up on screen."
Gentry has her own opinion on whether the teens should end up back together, telling TV Guide that they should probably stay friends for now. (After all, Ginny has a lot going on.)
"Ginny has that layer of like, 'My mom's a killer,' all this stuff," she told the outlet. "I think they should be friends right. I think they need to be there for each other in a way that doesn't have strings attached."
Fisher also shared her thoughts on the show's future with The Hollywood Reporter in January 2023, revealing that the creative team had a plan to end the show on saeson 4.
"We’re not writing any scripts or anything like that, but we know where we want to go. We would love to get in a writers room up and running to get going with this. Seeing everybody watch the show and seeing all the excitement for the show, I will say that it’s been hard to not think about season three and where we want to go. Because when Sarah and I pitched the show to Netflix, we did pitch four seasons, so we know what we want the end game to be. We know what we want the last episode to be," Fisher said.
