Meet the cast of Ginny & Georgia
The hit Netflix series is back for a second instalment, but which characters have returned? **Warning: Contains spoilers for Ginny & Georgia season 1**
When Ginny & Georgia first landed on Netflix in February 2021, it's safe to say that it quickly became the talk of the streaming platform.
Moving to a New England town hasn't been all roses and fairytales for teenage Ginny and her mother Georgia, and with a major cliffhanger at the end of season 1, fans have been even more excited for the second season.
Landing on Netflix earlier this January, the new season focuses on Ginny now having to live with the knowledge that her mother is a murderer. And with secrets and the past always threatening to rear their heads in this show, it's a season packed with revelations, emotion and pure drama.
So much so, that the shocking cliffhanger ending to season 2 already has fans hoping for a third instalment.
The series may turn on the cringe factor for many people, but there's no denying its appeal and it's quickly risen to the top of Netflix's streaming charts, ranking as Number 1. It's racked up an impressive 180.47 million hours viewed in the first few days of release.
