Introduction and Popularity Ginny & Georgia

Despite the controversy, the show became one of Netflix’s biggest hits, with seasons 1 and 2 briefly making it onto Netflix’s all-time most-watched list.

Starring Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry, the drama follows the Miller family as they navigate life’s ups and downs after moving to a new town.

Renewal Announcement

At the Netflix Upfronts in 2023, it was announced that Ginny & Georgia would return for a third and fourth season. The cast celebrated the news in a brief clip released by Netflix on social media. Show creator Sarah Lampert shared her excitement on Instagram, hinting at exciting developments to come. Additionally, Deadline reported a significant change: Sarah Glinski, known for her work on Degrassi: The Next Generation, replaced Debra J. Fisher as the showrunner for the upcoming seasons. Fisher had been involved since season 1, and there were rumors of friction between her and Sarah Lampert.

Reason for Renewal

Ginny & Georgia’s renewal was due to its immense success on Netflix. Factors like viewing hours, number of viewers, completion rates, and overall reception played a role in the decision. Netflix co-CEO Ted Sarandos highlighted the show’s popularity, especially in the US.

Production Delays

Despite the May 2023 renewal, production faced delays. The Writer’s Guild of America went on strike in May 2023, halting script development. Shortly after, SAG-AFTRA also began striking, further delaying production. These strikes affected many Netflix shows, including Ginny & Georgia. Fortunately, the strikes ended in October and November 2023, and by December 2023, it was confirmed that season 3 would start pre-production in Toronto in February 2024. The Directors Guild of Canada revealed the codename for season 3: TULIPS & TUXES.

Filming for the new season began on April 29, 2024, and will continue until September 6, 2024. Initially, it was predicted that seasons 3 and 4 would be filmed back-to-back, but this was later clarified. In an interview with ScreenRant, Nathan Mitchell confirmed a break in filming at the end of 2024, with a return in 2025.

Plot Expectations for Season 3

On April 29, Netflix confirmed that production had started. Sarah Lampert said, “We ended season two with Georgia arrested for murder – ruining her fairy tale wedding and leaving the fate of the Miller family hanging in the balance. It’s always been Ginny & Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite as hard as it will in season three. We are beyond excited to finally kick off production and keep bringing our fans the characters they love.”
