Exciting news forGinny & Georgia fans – season two is on the way!
The series renewal was announced in a fun video by the cast, including the show’s stars Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howey.
“We are so appreciative of the incredible response and love you all have shown Ginny & Georgia. We’re especially grateful to Brianne and Toni, who set the highest bar every step of the way. We can’t wait to return to Wellsbury for Season 2,” showrunner/executive producer Debra J. Fisher and creator/executive producer Sarah Lampert shared in a statement.
Season one followed angsty and awkward fifteen year old Ginny Miller (Gentry), who often feels she doesn’t measure up to her thirty year old mother, the irresistible and dynamic Georgia Miller (Howey). Growing up on the move, Georgia desperately wants to put down roots in picturesque New England and give her family something they’ve never had… a normal life. But it’s not all carpool and Kombucha as Georgia’s past follows them to threaten her and her family’s fresh start.

But it’s not all carpool and Kombucha as Georgia’s past follows them to threaten her and her family’s fresh start.
“As a young girl, I always wanted to watch a TV show that had a heroine who looked like me and Ginny was finally THAT GIRL!” director and producer Anya Adams shared. “Her story was compelling and exciting and I wanted to be a part of bringing that to life. The opportunity to be part of creating a coming-of-age series with an all-female creative team that is centered on a mixed-race young woman was ultimately the draw for me.”
“We wanted Ginny & Georgia to be a fun, feel-good ride about women, by women, for everyone; one that depicted a nuanced and complicated mother-daughter relationship, and layered female friendships in a way that isn’t always seen in shows,” showrunner Debra J. Fisher said.
Ginny & Georgia premieres February 24th on Netflix!
