Got any nice plans for the week? Maybe a big work project you need to finish or a hot date? Well, cancel them now because there’s a new Netflix show coming and you’ve only got days to prepare.

Yes, I know that sounds dramatic, but this isn’t any old Netflix show. This is Ginny and Georgia season 3 we’re talking about.

If somehow, though, you’ve never heard of the comedy-drama, which is unlikely considering it’s one of the streaming giant’s most-watched shows, allow us to explain what it’s about.

The series follows a daughter and mother, Ginny and Georgia, as they try and settle down after years on the run.

Sadly, though, Georgia’s past has an unfortunate habit of catching up with her, threatening the stability of their new home.

This all culminated in a dramatic season 2 cliffhanger, which we won’t spoil here, but needless it involves a wedding, the police, and a murder.

It’s basically a slightly pulpier version of Little Fires Everywhere or Big Little Lies in that it’s about women dealing with some pretty dark secrets.

Perhaps unexpectedly, considering it’s basically a TV soap of sorts, the show has divided critics with the general consensus being it’s good, not great.

As such, it’s only scored a rather middling 64% on Rotten Tomatoes, with its most excoriating critic being Alison Stine from Salon.

‘Ginny & Georgia operates in its own universe, one where the rules of physics don’t seem to apply,’ Stine’s review reads. ‘Events happen fast and dramatically. Consequences, rarely at all. And in its second season, the show has a major tone problem.’

But it does have its defenders, including Kristen Maldonado from Pop Culture Planet, who labelled the show ‘fun’ and ‘enjoyable’.

It’s also worth noting that the show has a far more respectable audience score of 75% on Rotten Tomatoes, and the series has been a huge hit for Netflix.

52 million subscribers watched the first season inthe first 28 days after its release, while globally, people spent 381 million hours binge-watching the mother and daughter’s misadventures.

This wasn’t a one-off hit either; globally, viewers spent 504.77 million hours watching the second series, which (at the time) made it one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever.

Since then, fans have spent years waiting to see what’s next for Ginny and Georgia, so we’re expecting a similar tidal wave of viewers, and you don’t want to miss out on the fun, do you?

So book that day off, cancel those plans, and settle in for some fun.

Ginny and Georgia season three will be available to watch on Netflix from June 5, 2025.
