Is Ginny & Georgia season 4 happening? Everything we know so far
Alright, Ginny & Georgia fans, let's talk about the big question: Is Season 4 of Ginny & Georgia actually happening? After that wild Season 3 finale on Netflix (June 5, 2025, anyone?), we're all dying to know what's next for Ginny, Georgia, and the Wellsbury crew. From release dates to cast gossip and juicy plot hints, here's the lowdown on everything we know about Season 4. Has Ginny & Georgia Season 4 Been Greenlit?
You bet it is! Netflix dropped the news back in May 2023, giving the green light for both Seasons 3 and 4 in one go. With almost a billion hours of watch time racked up by fans (yep, we're obsessed), it's no shocker they're keeping the Wellsbury drama train chugging. The writers are already scribbling away, so Season 4 is locked and loaded. More Miller family chaos? Count us in! When Can We Expect Season 4 to Hit Netflix?
No exact date yet, but let's play detective with the timeline. Ginny & Georgia has a history of making us wait—Season 1 hit in February 2021, Season 2 in January 2023, and Season 3 took forever until June 2025. That's roughly a two-year gap, give or take some production hiccups.
Word on the street (okay, from Brianne Howey's interviews) is that filming might kick off late 2025—maybe September or December. Shooting usually takes about five months, and then they need another eight or nine for editing and all that jazz. So, best guess? Season 4 could land between October 2026 and February 2027. Who's Coming Back for Season 4?
The gang's (mostly) all here! Based on Season 3's cliffhangers and what we've heard, expect these familiar faces to pop up in Season 4: Brianne Howey as Georgia Miller, the fierce mama bear
Antonia Gentry as Ginny Miller, navigating her complicated teen years
Diesel La Torraca as Austin Miller, Georgia's son with a growing dark side
Felix Mallard as Marcus Baker, Ginny's on-again, off-again love
Sara Waisglass as Max Baker, Marcus's sister and drama queen
Jennifer Robertson as Ellen Baker, the supportive mom next door
Scott Porter as Paul Randolph, Wellsbury's mayor and Georgia's husband
Raymond Ablack as Joe, Georgia's old flame
Nathan Mitchell as Zion Miller, Ginny's dad
Katie Douglas as Abby, part of the MANG crew
Chelsea Clark as Norah, another MANG member
Sabrina Grdevich as Cynthia Fuller, the grieving mom with a grudge
Some characters' futures are shakier. Gil (Aaron Ashmore) got framed by Austin for murder, so his return is uncertain, though Brianne Howey teased there might be more to his story. Nick (Dan Beirne) got the boot from Paul's team, so his role could be reduced. We might also meet new characters, like Georgia's creepy stepfather or her mysterious mom, who popped up in the Season 3 finale. What's the Story for Season 4?
Heads-up: Season 3 spoilers ahead!
Season 3 left us with a lot to unpack, and Season 4 is set to dig deeper into the Miller family's messy world. The creators, Sarah Lampert and Sarah Glinski, have teased that the theme for Season 4 is 'Cycles and Origins.' That means we're diving into Georgia's past—think her abusive stepfather and maybe even her mom, who could stir up trouble in Wellsbury.
One of the biggest bombshells from Season 3? Georgia's pregnant! Creator Sarah Lampert confirmed it, pointing to Georgia's milk-chugging scene in the finale. But here's the twist: Who's the dad? Georgia hooked up with both Paul and Joe, and even Lampert admitted she's torn on who it'll be. This love triangle is sure to spark major drama, especially with Georgia and Paul's marriage on rocky ground.

Sweet Magnolias Season 5: Release date rumors, cast updates and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on July 7, 2025, 18:30 IST Last updated July 7, 2025, 11:05 IST Alright, Sweet Magnolias fans, grab your margarita glasses because we're diving into the latest scoop on Season 5! After Season 4 dropped on Netflix in February 2025, leaving us all reeling from that emotional finale, we're itching to know what's next for Maddie, Dana Sue, Helen, and the whole Serenity gang. From whispers about the release date to who's coming back and what drama's brewing, here's the lowdown on what to expect. Let's spill the tea! When Will Sweet Magnolias Season 5 Hit Netflix? No official release date yet, but let's piece together the clues. Filming kicked off on June 2, 2025, and should wrap by September 17, 2025, mostly in Atlanta, Georgia, with some cool New York City scenes thrown in. If we look at Season 4, which finished filming in May 2024 and landed on Netflix nine months later in February 2025, we're probably looking at a similar timeline. My guess? Season 5 could drop between summer and fall 2026, maybe August or September. Who's Back? Cast Updates for Season 5 The soul of Sweet Magnolias is its cast, and Season 5 is bringing back all our favorites. Here's who's set to return and what they're up to: JoAnna Garcia Swisher as Maddie Townsend Brooke Elliott as Dana Sue Sullivan Heather Headley as Helen Decatur The Supporting Crew: Expect Justin Bruening (Cal), Brandon Quinn (Ronnie), Dion Johnstone (Erik), Carson Rowland (Ty), Anneliese Judge (Annie), Logan Allen (Kyle), Jamie Lynn Spears (Noreen), and Chris Medlin (Isaac) to return. Sadly, Chris Klein's Bill Townsend won't be back after his heartbreaking exit in Season 4. New characters might pop up too, because Serenity loves a fresh face to stir the pot. The writing team's got some familiar names like Sheryl J. Anderson and Michelle Denise Jackson, plus a new writer, Quincy Cho, who's penning her first episode. I'm excited to see what new vibes they bring! What's Coming in Season 5? Season 4 left us with cliffhangers and big changes, so let's break down what might happen next. Spoiler alert: We are just guessing based on the finale and cast interviews, but here's what we think we're in for: Helen and Erik's Big Day Helen's engagement to Erik had me tearing up, and Season 5 is gearing up for their wedding. Heather Headley promised it'll be a stylish, emotional bash, and I'm all in for the Magnolias planning it together. Maybe Maddie and Dana Sue will be bridesmaids, pouring their hearts into making it perfect. Annie and Ty's Long-Distance Love Annie's heading to California for photography school, and Ty's off to Europe with his band. Can their romance survive the miles? We are rooting for these two, but young love is tricky. Season 5 might show them growing apart or finding ways to stay connected, like late-night video calls or surprise visits. Either way, it's gonna tug at our heartstrings. Serenity's New Normal After Season 4's storm and Bill's death, Serenity's rebuilding. Noreen's running a mobile clinic with Jeremy, Isaac's got a new romance with Michael, and Peggy's stepping up as mayor. We are betting we'll see new faces or old enemies (Mary Vaughn, anyone?) stirring up trouble. The show's great at balancing cozy vibes with just enough drama to keep us hooked.

How Netflix keeps luring big-name directors away from the traditional box office
Netflix isn't interested in bringing movies to theaters. The company's leaders have said they see theatrical movie releases as an "outdated" model. Yet for more than a decade, the streamer has lured in some of Hollywood's biggest directors to make content exclusively for its platform. Martin Scorsese, Alfonso Cuarón, Bong Joon-ho, Spike Lee and Guillermo del Toro, darlings of the big screen, have all directed films for the streaming service without the promise of a wide theatrical release. More recently, Netflix has wooed Greta Gerwig into the director's seat after acquiring the rights to C.S. Lewis' "The Chronicles of Narnia" book series, signed Rian Johnson to make two sequels to 2019's "Knives Out" and made itself the home of Kathryn Bigelow's first film release in nearly a decade. Many of these creatives have touted the importance of the theatrical experience, but few of the Netflix projects are expected to garner a wide release or a long run in cinemas. Most of the time, Netflix's films are launched in a limited number of theaters for a week, just long enough to be eligible for Academy Award contention. In fact, Gerwig's "Narnia" film is getting an exclusive two-week global debut in IMAX starting Thanksgiving Day 2026, something that has never been done before. Netflix has been able to bring Hollywood talent away from the traditional theatrical model by offering lucrative contracts, creative freedom and an audience pool of more than 300 million subscribers, Hollywood insiders, who requested anonymity to discuss industry moves, told CNBC. It's also become a haven for auteurs whose films might not otherwise get made, either because of pricey budgets or risky genres. "What Netflix offers filmmakers is an irresistible combination of deep financial pockets and wide creative latitude," said Paul Dergarabedian, senior media analyst at Comscore. "This is enough to draw some of the biggest names in filmmaking today both behind and in front of the camera, and it's striking since most of these notable names have built their careers on the canvas of the big screen in the movie theater." For as long as Netflix has been disrupting the traditional Hollywood model, analysts and box-office proponents have argued for why the streamer should embrace a more conventional theatrical approach. Every year or so, a study appears from a box-office analytics company or on behalf of one of Hollywood's theatrical trade groups concluding that audiences are more likely to stream a movie that's been released in theaters. "It seems like for most of the other traditional media companies the pendulum has flown back to the idea that, yes, theatrical does enhance the value of a movie," said Robert Fishman, analyst at MoffettNathanson. Hollywood insiders told CNBC that Netflix's leaders have long admitted that money is being left on the table by not employing a typical theatrical model. But Netflix's co-CEO, Ted Sarandos, has said he has no plans to change the company's box-office strategy. "It would be complicated for Netflix, a distraction from what they're trying to do," said industry analyst David Poland. "And it would be potentially money-losing." Sarandos has repeatedly said that Netflix's purpose is to provide content for its streaming subscribers, noting that the audience that pays for its service should get it as soon as possible, not wait for an extended theatrical window to elapse. Netflix has benefited from its partnership with Sony, which gives the streamer exclusive U.S. streaming rights to the studio's theatrical releases after they wrap up in theaters. With the deal, Netflix gets fresh content without the box-office risk. Of course, keeping subscribers happy is only part of the strategy. Netflix saves millions in marketing costs by skipping theaters, industry experts said. Typically, a film's marketing budget is half of what it spent on production. So a film like the Russo Brothers' "The Electric State," which reportedly cost $320 million to make, could have had up to a $160 million marketing budget if it went to theaters. That's a nearly $500 million investment before a theatrical opening, and a studio would then split ticket sales with cinemas. Notably, the film was originally slated to be produced under Universal Studios but was transferred to Netflix after executives at Universal balked at its steep budget, people familiar with the matter told CNBC. Success of a Netflix film is based on viewership, a metric that is not comparable to box-office dollars. "The Electric State" was streamed by 25.2 million subscribers in its first three days on the platform, according to Netflix's Tudum site at the time of its release. That is about one-third of what Netflix's "Red Notice" generated during its three-day launch in 2021. "Red Notice" is Netflix's best-performing film to date with more than 230.9 million views. It's hard for directors and other creatives to dismiss the kind of viewership Netflix brings, Hollywood insiders told CNBC. It's one of the reasons that Netflix has been able to draw in big-name directors, writers and producers over the last decade. Netflix has also been more flexible with its purse strings. "The Electric State" is just one example. Scorsese's "The Irishman" also saw studios pass on the film because of its ballooning budget, but Netflix stepped in and acquired the rights. The film went on to garner 10 Oscar nominations, although it ultimately went home empty-handed during the 2020 ceremony. "Netflix, because they have interest in getting awards and nominations and all that stuff, have funded and purchased and been involved with directors who are really high-quality filmmakers worldwide," Poland said. "It's a tribute to Netflix that those movies exist." The streamer has had at least one best picture contender at the Academy Awards since 2019. The company has not been shy about spending money to secure top talent either. It's signed dozens of lucrative first-look deals with creators, which give it the exclusive right to review and potentially purchase or distribute a new project before it is offered to other buyers. Past deals have run the gamut between television and film and included creators like Tyler Perry, Antoine Fuqua, Shonda Rhimes and Jennifer Lopez. Netflix has even been more targeted in its contracts, as was seen when it penned a two-picture deal with Johnson for sequels to his 2019 film "Knives Out," which reportedly was for more than $400 million. "It would be tough for any creative to turn down the offer of the financial resources to realize their creative vision. And despite wanting their movies to be seen on the biggest screen possible, [they] have made the calculus that getting their works realized on film and presented on a major streaming platform is a bargain worth making," Dergarabedian said. Wall Street doesn't seem to mind Netflix's movie strategy. The company's stock is valued at nearly $1,300 a share and has soared 45% since January and more than 90% in the past year. Netflix is expected to spend around $18 billion on content this year, according to the company. It does not disclose what percentage of that funding goes to its movies versus its television productions. The company currently projects that its full-year 2025 revenue will be between $43.5 billion and $44.5 billion. Insiders said that with those kinds of investments, consumers might need to watch out for more price hikes. MoffettNathanson's Fishman noted that Netflix will continue to weigh its value proposition to determine if it needs to increase the cost of its services. If Netflix keeps creating content from top-tier creators, then the analyst firm expects prices to increase.
