#FIRSTLOOK: “GINNY & GEORGIA” SEASON TWO

Following the popularity and positive reviews of Season One, Netflix’s GINNY & GEORGIA is about to return for a second season. Bringing back many of the same elements we loved about the first season of this Greater Toronto Area-filmed series, the stakes are upped here as Georgia (Brianne Howey) continues to ruffle feathers, seeking to gain acceptance in Wellsbury, yet at once not giving a care what others think. And Ginny (Antonia Gentry) continues uncovering some disagreeable things in the name of surviving and supporting her kids.

When a Series is looking to push boundaries and approach “real topics”, it is bound to cause a bit of controversy. One thing we admire about this second season is its bravery exploring Ginny‘s mental health struggles as she copes with her challenging mother and her relationship with the town’s mayor, Paul (Scott Porter). At once, Ginny is trying to navigate her relationship with Marcus (Felix Mallard), more than ever before leaning-on her biological father Zion (Nathan Mitchell) for support when her mother is impossible. Gentry really does some commendable work decliately exploring Ginny‘s battles and sexual awakening.

Howey continues to excel, drawing us into Georgia’s world. On one hand we kinda want Child Protective Services to nail her, but the compassion in which she brings here makes us want to root for her and get away with some of the unforgivable things she’s done.

Toronto’s Sara Waisglass also is just fantastic in the supporting role of Max, Ginny‘s best friend and sister of her love interest Marcus. She’s a scene-stealer whose energy provides this deeper, darker second season a much-needed lift in spirits.

We enjoyed the first season of this Series, but found ourselves more invested than ever in this second season. Things get tangled and messy and what fun it be if it weren’t? The wait has been more than worthwhile and we foresee more seasons to come after this solid follow-up.

The second season of GINNY & GEORGIA arrives January 5, 2023 on Netflix.

#SPOTTED: ANTONIA GENTRY, BRIANNE HOWEY AND CAST OF “GINNY & GEORGIA” FILMING SEASON TWO IN COBOURG

After beginning production in its second season last November, Netflix’s hit series GINNY & GEORGIA is about to wrap. Filming made its way to Cobourg’s downtown district as the final episode of the second season filmed in the small town, an hour east of Toronto.

The Series centers on a free-spirited single mother Georgia (Brianne Howey) and her mature teen daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) as they navigate their new life in New England together, trying to fit in while having to confront their past. Without giving too much away, fans can expect a bit of explosive finale where Georgia has to pay the price for her actions. And there is a wedding! With a horse and carriage!

The first season of the Series which premiered February 2021 during the Pandemic reached a stellar 52 million subscribers, making for an undisputed demand for a second season. And if the Series’ continued popularity, propelled by its presence on TikTok, is any indicator, a third season should be on its way. Or there will be an outcry!

We’ll have to wait to see what happens exactly in this second season, but here are a couple snaps from the day as Howey and Gentry filmed outdoors, both looking smashing!! Bridalicious! These cellphone snaps don’t do them justice but their makeup looked incredible.

beanie and I were so lucky to get a snap with stars Sara Waisglass who plays Ginny‘s BFF Maxine, and Gentry herself as they were waiting to begin filming! How exciting! Cannot wait for this new season!
