The mother-daughter duo returns! The Netflix series Ginny & Georgia<\/em><\/a> is returning for a second season.<\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s smart women who are funny<\/a>, complicated, troubled and intense, and it had everything that I love: drama, mystery, humor, living room dance parties,\u201d showrunner Debra Fischer<\/strong> told Entertainment Weekly<\/em><\/a> of the comedy-drama just after the series premiere in February 2021.<\/p>\n Season 1 introduced viewers to the titular characters \u2014 30-something single mother Georgia (Brianne Howey<\/strong><\/a>) and her more-mature 15-year-old daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry<\/strong><\/a>) \u2014 and chronicled their experience relocating to a New England town along with Ginny\u2019s younger half-brother, Austin (Diesel La Torraca<\/strong>).<\/p>\n \u201cI grew up with a super young, single mom<\/a>. This couldn\u2019t have hit any more close to home,\u201d Howey told DuJour<\/em> <\/a>in February 2021. \u201cThe lack of boundaries and a little bit of codependency and oversharing and keeping secrets and then being offended that they kept the secret and the lines getting blurred of the mom wanting to protec<\/a>t where the daughter feels entitled to know everything because there are only so many years apart, so that part actually really resonated with me.\u201d<\/p>\n [jwplayer OFBX30Dx-zhNYySv2]<\/p>\n The California native joined the cast late in the auditioning process<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u201cBrianne was the last, literally, the last to be cast,\u201d Fisher told EW<\/em>. \u201cWe had to find the perfect Georgia, that balanced beauty that’s going to kill you with a smile but will stab you in the chest without seeing it coming. We met actresses from the U.S., Canada and England and on one of our last days, Bri got back from a European vacation and put herself on tape. \u2026 Monday morning, we brought her in read her with Toni and we were like, \u2018We just found Ginny and Georgia<\/a>. There they are.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n Although the mother-daughter dynamic is the heart of the show, there are also romantic storylines<\/a>. In February 2021, Gentry told EW<\/em> that she liked Felix Mallard<\/strong><\/a>, who plays her love interest Marcus Baker, from their first chemistry read.<\/p>\n “He was very, very kind. He greeted me in the room and we just had a normal conversation. Then we went in and did it and he was just so focused and grounded. There’s just a presence about him when he enters a room that you really want to work with him. I felt that immediately. I even got lost in his eyes<\/a> \u2014 so I may have forgotten my lines or two in the audition room,” she admitted.<\/p>\n
