Ginny & Georgia is back after a two-year wait, and the first look at season 3 shows the mother-daughter duo at odds.
Netflix released a sneak peek on Thursday, April 17, where Ginny (Antonia Gentry) deals with the aftermath of Georgia‘s (Brianne Howey) arrest.
“What happens when everything falls apart?” Ginny asks in a voiceover while her mother is seen behind bars. “The rug can be pulled out from you in a second.”
Georgia, however, doesn’t appear too worried about her fate. “Don’t you want to ask me if I did it?” she wonders in the video before another clip shows her saying, “I am not a bad person, it is all about perception.”

According to a message alongside the teaser, viewers should “prepare for judgment day” as Ginny, Georgia and those around them pick up the pieces after season 2 ended in chaos.
Ginny & Georgia, which premiered in 2021, follows a young single mother who moved her family to Wellsbury, Massachusetts, after running away from her past. In addition to Howey, 35, and Gentry, 27, the Netflix series also stars Diesel La Torraca, Felix Mallard, Sara Waisglass, Scott Porter and Raymond Ablack.
The newest batch of episodes are set to air on June 5 after a lengthy hiatus. When season 2 wrapped up in 2023, Georgia and her brother Austin finally found out about their mother’s murderous past. By the finale, Georgia was arrested on her and Paul’s (Porter) wedding day for the murder of fellow Wellsbury resident Cynthia’s husband. Georgia previously killed Cynthia’s terminally ill husband after learning Cynthia blocked Austin’s dad Gil’s application to move to Wellsbury.
“We see entirely new sides of Ginny and Georgia,” Howey exclusively told Us Weekly in January. “I feel like [it’s] surprising ’cause we’ve already seen so many sides of them, but lo and behold, there’s more.”
One month later, Howey expanded on what is to come, telling Us, “All of the characters are now, as we see, on their own mental health journey, and it’s a really important part of the show. Georgia, for the first time in her life, is realizing the catastrophic consequences of her actions that they have on her children.”
Howey was excited for Georgia to continue to evolve. “As season 2 starts, Georgia has been so exposed — all of their private family secrets are now out in the open — and you can only imagine the domino effect of what this does to everyone in Georgia’s life, including Georgia,” she added.

The one constant will always be Georgia and Ginny’s bond.
“I think what we love so much about Ginny and Georgia is their love for each other. What Georgia is out there showing is that there’s no wrong way to love your child — it might look different on everybody, but there’s no wrong way to love your child,” Howey continued. “Georgia, even with her limited toolbox — and she, of course, doesn’t get it all right — but she is trying so hard. I think that’s what really matters.”
Season 3 is premiering after Howey became a mother off screen. (Howey and husband Matt Ziering welcomed a daughter in 2023.)
“Having my own daughter going through these scenes … meant so much more in a new way,” she noted. “The more personal you make the work, the more universal it becomes, and the writing, the story, the nuance, it’s so personal to everybody involved and it seems to be making waves. No matter what walk of life you come from, there seems to be a character that you feel like you can really relate to and that you want to go on this journey with them.”
Ginny & Georgia returns to Netflix on June 5.
