The cast and showrunners of Netflix’s Ginny and Georgia explain that wild season three ending

‘And on this show, nothing is ever simple’


If you’ve just finished season three of Ginny and Georgia, chances are you’re sitting there with your jaw on the floor. The finale packed in emotional punches, unexpected exits, and one seriously ominous twist. Naturally, you might wonder, what does it all mean? And where does the show go from here?

Thankfully, the cast, along with showrunners Sarah Lampert and Sarah Glinski, explain that explosive season three ending and tease what to expect in season four.

So, is Georgia truly free?

After being arrested for Tom’s death, Georgia ends the season back home, but not in peace. Though she’s technically cleared of charges, she’s more alone than ever. Her husband, Paul, leaves her for good after learning she lied about being pregnant. Her son, Austin, perjured himself in court to protect her. And in the final moments of the finale, Georgia’s estranged mother and stepfather appear at her doorstep, raising more questions than answers.

Speaking with Today, Howey called this Georgia’s “breakdown season,” adding, “She got very burned this season but she’s also resilient.” The idea is not that Georgia is victorious, it’s that she’s survived, and just barely. “We’re hoping to see her rise from the ashes,” Howey said. “But the stakes just got so much higher.”

But is Georgia actually pregnant?

Earlier in the season, Georgia faked a pregnancy to convince Paul to support her through the legal chaos. When the truth comes out, Paul is done. But here’s the kicker: The finale hints that Georgia might actually be pregnant now, for real this time.

In an interview with Tudum, showrunner Sarah Lampert confirmed, “Ginny gets pregnant, Georgia fakes a pregnancy, and then Georgia really gets pregnant and we don’t know who the dad is.” While the show doesn’t state it outright, it plants enough seeds to suggest that Georgia’s future just got a lot more complicated.

To make things messier, Joe, the coffee shop owner and Georgia’s longtime maybe-love interest, has stepped back into her emotional orbit. Their connection is rekindled late in the season, and season four could explore where that goes, especially with Paul out of the picture.

Ginny pulls a Georgia and pays the price

Ginny spends much of season three trying not to become like her mother. But in the finale, she crosses a line. She persuades Austin to lie in court and claim their abusive father, Gil, was responsible for Tom’s death. It’s a bold, calculated move and it works. Georgia walks free.

But it’s not without consequences. Antonia Gentry said, “She definitely manipulates him. It’s survival. She pulled a Georgia.” Ginny’s motivation was to protect Austin from living with Gil, but the emotional damage is clear. By the end of the episode, Austin is closed off and visibly altered.

“That’s the scary part,” Gentry said. “(Austin) has already changed.”

So, who exactly is the villain now?

With Gil unstable, Cynthia furious, Paul gone, and Joe re-entering the frame, it would seem like external threats are circling Georgia from all sides. But both Gentry and Howey suggest that the real danger in season four might come from within.

“Honestly? The danger might not come from one person,” Gentry said. “It could be Georgia herself—or even Ginny.”

Howey echoed that sentiment: “There’s a little bit of villain and hero in everyone.”

It’s a theme that’s been consistent throughout the series: Everyone lies, everyone protects, and everyone breaks the rules, especially when it comes to family.

So, what happens next?

Season three leaves nearly every character at a crossroads. Georgia is emotionally isolated and possibly pregnant. Ginny has compromised her values to protect her mother. Austin is no longer the innocent bystander. And Georgia’s past is literally knocking at the door.

Showrunner Sarah Glinski teased that season four will explore these shifting dynamics. “You see Ginny kind of turning into Georgia in season three,” she said. “In season four, we want to unpack what that means and whether she can come back from it.”

One thing’s for sure, in Ginny & Georgia, there are no clean breaks, no easy redemptions. Just consequences.
