GINNY & GEORGIA SEASON 1:
Created by Sarah Lampert, and starring Brianne Howey, Antonia Gentry, and Diesel La Torraca, “Ginny & Georgia” revolves around free-spirited Georgia and her two kids, Ginny and Austin, who move north in search of a fresh start but find that the road to new beginnings can be bumpy that premiered on Wednesday, February 24, 2021, on Netflix.
It’s an hour-long drama about a woman named Georgia (Brianne Howey) with a checkered past and two kids, who move to an affluent suburban community in Massachusetts for a fresh start. Her daughter, Ginny (Antonia Gentry), was born when Georgia was only 15, and the Gilmore Girls mom-and-daughter-are-more-like-sisters impression is palpable.
As the show starts digging into Georgia’s past, which includes a smorgasbord of illegal activity, Georgia also starts covering her tracks in the present, and the show becomes a crime drama. When Ginny starts making friends at her new school, the show shifts into light teen drama mode, but when they party pretty hard and Ginny engages in some frightening self-harm, the teen drama becomes much darker. Georgia starts working for the town’s mayor (Scott Porter) and in those portions the series shifts more into a local political dramedy.
The first season’s 10 episodes explore the cracks in Ginny’s relationship with her ever-secretive mother, together with her first forays into friendships and romance, all the while tackling issues of race, class, and identity. Georgia, on the other hand, drowns in her financial troubles while attempting to maintain her facade of put-together charm and southern irresistibility.
Will there be a Season 2?
If we get lucky, we’ll get a second season in February of next year. But it might come as late as February 2022—and that’s if it gets renewed.
