Ginny & Georgia on Netflix Might Be the Next Gilmore Girls —Here’s Your First Look
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Netflix just released the first trailer of its new family dramedy, Ginny & Georgia—the show fans have been comparing to Gilmore Girls since it was first announced in 2019.
Take a look, below:
The series is definitely darker and more mysterious than Gilmore Girls. In fact, there are plenty of parallels to Desperate Housewives and Little Fires Everywhere. Says creator and executive producer Sarah Lampert, “We wanted to make a grounded show with real teenagers, real emotions, and honesty. Fifteen-year-old girls go through a lot. Like, a hell of a lot. Something we talked about a lot in the writers’ room is that everyone is fighting a battle that you can’t see. And although our characters are flawed, we treat them with compassion, which is something the world needs more of right now. We weren’t really interested in labeling our characters ‘right’ and ‘wrong’ or passing judgement on them, but instead wanted to explore their gray areas.”
Showrunner Debra J. Fisher says that the overall goal is for Ginny & Georgia “to be a fun, feel-good ride about women, by women, for everyone; one that depicted a nuanced and complicated mother-daughter relationship, and layered female friendships in a way that isn’t always seen in shows.”
In addition to the trailer, Netflix also released the key art for the series:

NetflixIt’s coming to Netflix on February 24, and here is the official description for the 10-episode series:
“Angsty and awkward 15-year-old Ginny Miller (Antonia Gentry) often feels more mature than her 30-year-old mother, the irresistible and dynamic Georgia Miller (Brianna Howey). After years on the run, Georgia desperately wants to put down roots in picturesque New England and give her family something they’ve never had…a normal life. But it’s not all carpool and kombucha as Georgia’s past threatens her and her family’s new way of life…and Georgia will do anything to protect her family.”
Hmmm…a mother-daughter duo with switched dynamics living in a quaint New England town? It’s really no wonder comparisons to Gilmore Girls keep rolling in. (Reader, I was going to shorten Gilmore Girls to GG in this sentence, but Ginny & Georgia share the same initials. Interesting!)
Without further ado, let’s take a look at Stars Hollow—I mean, whatever town Ginny and Georgia live in (actually, a small town in Massachusetts).
Here’s your first difference: There’s a third Miller! Does he also have G-name? Nope. Austin (Diesel La Torraca) was not only left out of the title and description, but he doesn’t even get to share an initial with his mom and sister. Awkward.
Okay, but Marcus (Felix Mallard, above) is kind of serving Jesse vibes, no? And if we have Jesse, we def need a Dean…or maybe a Deanna?
Meanwhile, which of these fine fellows seem like Georgia’s Luke?
I’d say the guy at the bar/cafe/whatever this place is, right? He and his plaid shirt have my vote.
You’ll have to wait until February 24 to see if this series will fill the hole that Lorelei and Rory Gilmore have left behind. Mark your calendars!
