Since Ginny & Georgia premiered on Netflix on February 24, 2021, the series has enjoyed a growing fan base amongst viewers and critics. Created by Sarah Lampert in her screenwriting and producing debut, the comedy-drama follows its two titular characters as they try to build a new life in the fictional affluent town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts. After a two-year wait, Ginny & Georgia premiered its second season on January 5, 2023.
Besides the dramedy’s plot, audiences have been drawn to the cast and characters of the show. With the cliffhanger Ginny & Georgia left at the end of its second season, expectations for a third season have been rising. Unsurprisingly, Netflix renewed the series for a third and fourth season in May 2023. With a few character upgrades in season 2, these are the cast and characters of Ginny & Georgia.
Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller
Arguably, the success of Ginny & Georgia has hinged on the character of Georgia Miller. Hate or love the character, Georgia’s actions have been the glue that has held the series’ plot together.

To help the viewers properly understand Georgia’s backstory, the series incorporates flashbacks to what happened to her before she and her children arrived in Wellsbury, Massachusetts.
