Netflix has given a 10-episode series order for Debra J. Fisher and Sarah Lampert’s upcoming coming-of-age drama Ginny & Georgia which centers on the relationship between the titular mother and daughter. Set to debut in 2020, the series will star newcomer Antonia Gentry (Candy Jar) as Ginny and Brianne Howey (Scream Queens, I Live with Models) as Georgia.
Diesel La Torraca (Little Monsters), Jennifer Robertson (Schitt’s Creek), Felix Mallard (Happy Together), Sara Waisglass (Degrassi: Next Class), Scott Porter (Friday Night Lights) and Raymond Ablack (Narcos) have also been cast as series regulars, portraying the roles of Austin, Ellen, Marcus, Maxine, Mayor Paul Randolph and Joe, respectively.
Written by Lampert, Ginny & Georgia is an hour-long series which will follow the story of angsty and awkward fifteen-year-old Ginny Miller who often feels more mature than her thirty-year-old mother, the irresistible and dynamic Georgia Miller. 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. For Ginny, that means navigating a prestigious school, rising popularity, and complicated love interests. But it’s not all carpool and Kombucha as Georgia’s past threatens her and her family’s new way of life.
