Has Netflix Renewed or Canceled Ginny & Georgia season 3?

Official Renewal Status: Pending
Our Renewal Prediction: Likely Renewal

Officially, Netflix has yet to renew Ginny & Georgia for a third season as of February 24th, 2023.

Despite being relatively trigger-happy so far in 2023 with shows, Ginny & Georgia will likely be getting a third season, given its early performance.

We’ve gone into detail here on the factors Netflix takes into consideration when it comes to renewing shows, and it comes down to things like viewing hours, number of people watching, completion rates, and how well the show is being received.

Speaking just before the second season release, Sarah Lampert, one of the showrunners for the series, said a renewal decision hadn’t been made, with the creator telling Deadline:

“… no, there’s been no talks with Netflix about Season 3. They’re very regimented about how they do things. So there’s very much a strategy in place where I think we’ll drop it, and then we have to wait to see how it does and if we’re going to see Season 3 but I certainly hope we do because it’s going to be a wild ride.”

Ted Sarandos, at Netflix’s Q4 2022 earnings, mentioned that the show was a success for them, saying:

“… Sometimes that’s also content that’s uniquely interesting to Americans that doesn’t travel internationally. We have the show Ginny and Georgia right now. That’s a phenomenal US success.”
