The third season of the American comedy-drama television series Ginny & Georgia premiered on Netflix on June 5, 2025, and ran for 10 episodes.[1] The season was produced by Madica Productions, Critical Content, Dynamic Television, and Blue Ice Pictures, with executive producers including Sarah Lampert, Sarah Glinski, Jeff Tahler, Jenny Daly, Holly Hines, Daniel March, Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, and Armand Leo, with Sarah Glinski serving as showrunner.
In promotional materials, the season carries the tagline "Everything Just Peachy", reflecting the ironic contrast between Georgia's outward confidence and the inner turmoil of her family’s unraveling life.[2] The season continues the story of Georgia Miller and her teenage daughter Ginny, picking up after Georgia’s cliffhanger arrest for Tom Fuller’s murder at the end of Season 2. Under new showrunner Sarah Glinski, who succeeded Debra J. Fisher,[3] the season shifts toward a darker legal drama while retaining the show’s mix of humor, teen angst, and mother-daughter conflict.[4]
Filming for the season began in April 2024 in Toronto, Canada, under the working title Tulips & Tuxes, and concluded in early September 2024.[3] The storyline explores the fallout from Georgia’s arrest, Ginny’s increasing independence, and the emotional toll on the Miller family, while also developing the roles of supporting characters like Marcus, Maxine, Abby, and Austin.
Reviews were generally positive from viewers and critics, who commended the performances, particularly Brianne Howey’s depiction of Georgia’s moral complexity and the show’s treatment of themes like trauma, identity, and reproductive rights. Some reviews, however, pointed out uneven pacing in the second half and a dependence on melodrama in courtroom scenes.[5] The season concludes on a tense emotional note, paving the way for the confirmed fourth season.

Development
Following the success of Ginny & Georgia’s second season, which premiered on January 5, 2023, Netflix renewed the series for both a third and fourth season in May 2023. The renewal followed Season 2’s inclusion in Netflix’s Global Top 10 for English-language TV for several weeks, accumulating over 500 million viewing hours in its first month. The announcement also noted a leadership change, with Sarah Glinski, known for Degrassi: The Next Generation, taking over as showrunner for Season 3.[3]
In interviews following the renewal, both Glinski and Lampert indicated that the third season would delve deeper into Georgia's criminal past and the emotional ramifications of her arrest on the Miller family. Lampert emphasized that while Season 2 was “about discovery,” Season 3 would be about “reckoning and consequence.” The season's tagline, “Everything Just Peachy,”[6] was introduced during early promotional campaigns to signal the ironic duality between Georgia’s public persona and the darker truths beneath the surface.[7]
The season was produced by Madica Productions, Critical Content, Dynamic Television, and Blue Ice Pictures, with executive producers including Sarah Lampert, Sarah Glinski, Jeff Tahler, Jenny Daly, Holly Hines, Daniel March, Lance Samuels, Daniel Iron, and Armand Leo, while creator Sarah Lampert continued as an executive producer.[4]
Writing
Writing for Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia began shortly after Netflix’s renewal announcement in May 2023. Under new showrunner Sarah Glinski, the writers’ room reconvened in mid-2023 to address the Season 2 cliffhanger, where Georgia is arrested for Tom Fuller’s murder, emphasizing emotional realism and character depth, particularly in depicting Ginny’s psychological growth and Georgia’s legal troubles.[8]
Glinski shaped the narrative, focusing on accountability, identity, and trauma. Interviews with cast and writers indicate the season adopted a more serialized structure, with each of the ten episodes advancing Georgia’s legal case and Ginny’s emotional distance from her mother. The writers balanced the show’s teen drama with serious topics like reproductive rights, abuse survival, and media sensationalism.[9]
New character arcs reflected these themes, with Ginny’s poetry club and a new romance highlighting her independence, and Georgia’s house arrest and court proceedings forcing her to face past crimes. Supporting characters like Maxine, Marcus, Abby, and Austin received expanded roles, exploring adolescent grief, friendship, and identity crises.[10]
Despite delays from the 2023 Writers Guild of America strike, all ten scripts were finished before it began, keeping production on schedule after the strike ended in late 2023.[11][12] A Teen Vogue feature noted the team’s effort to portray the mother-daughter dynamic with emotional honesty while preserving the series’ fast-paced, sharp dialogue.[13]
Season 3 introduced new recurring cast members to support its evolving story. Ty Doran joined as Wolfe, a poetry club member and potential love interest for Ginny, depicted as intellectually grounded and emotionally supportive, contrasting with her tense dynamic with Marcus.[18][19]Noah Lamanna was cast as Tris, a nonbinary skater and tutor who connects with Abby as she deals with body image and isolation.[20]
Casting aimed to reflect diverse experiences, aligning with the show’s coming-of-age focus. Showrunner Sarah Glinski noted the new characters were added to “challenge and grow” the main cast emotionally while preserving the show’s blend of drama, humor, and social relevance. The returning cast signed multi-season contracts before the renewal, ensuring continuity into Season 4.[8][21]
Filming
Principal photography for Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia began on April 29, 2024, in Toronto, Ontario, Canada,[22][23][24] and wrapped in early September 2024. Filming used the working title Tulips & Tuxes, nodding to Georgia’s wedding storyline and the show’s Southern visual themes.[25] Like previous seasons, it relied heavily on locations in Toronto and Cobourg, with Cobourg again standing in for the fictional New England town of Wellsbury.[26][27]
Production faced initial delays due to the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, impacting industry schedules. However, with scripts completed before the strikes began, filming resumed on schedule after negotiations concluded in late 2023. The delay allowed extra time to prepare sets, secure permits, and ensure visual continuity, especially for complex courtroom and domestic scenes.[28][29]
Courtroom and house arrest scenes were filmed on Toronto soundstages for controlled, intense sequences, while on-location shoots for school, café, and residential settings maintained the show’s grounded aesthetic. Despite the darker themes, the production preserved the series’ vibrant cinematography and dynamic camera work, balancing the narrative with its teen-comedy roots.[30]
