Agape Mngomezulu Talks Bryon and Bracia's Relationship in GINNY & GEORGIA Season 3

If there's one thing you can expect while watching Ginny & Georgia Season 3, it's a rollercoaster of emotional highs and lows. And if explosive family drama is your thing, you're in for a wild ride. For starters, Georgia (Brianne Howey) stands trial for murder, and Ginny (Antonia Gentry) must reckon with her mom's predicament. However, it's not only the titular mother-daughter duo who endures a heaping helping of narrative turbulence. Other characters like Bryon (Agape Mngomezulu) and Bracia (Tameka Griffiths) are navigating uncharted territory — the ups and downs of young love. Recently, I had the privilege of chatting with Agape about his role in Ginny & Georgia Season 3, what viewers can expect and Bryon and Bracia's relationship.

How did you get into acting? Agape Mngomezulu: I started acting in high school. I would do community plays and musicals. When I was in grade 9 or 10, I was like, 'Yes, this is what I want to do.' In grade 12, I got into background work to see if this was a good fit. Then, right after I graduated from high school, I went to film school. Then, 18 months later, I was in the professional world. Ginny & Georgia Season 3 MM: Let's talk about Ginny & Georgia . Can you tell me what Season 3 is about and how your character fits into the story? AM: Season 3 finds a lot of characters going through their deepest, darkest moments. We see Georgia in the aftermath of her getting arrested at her wedding. We see Ginny deal with her mom going to prison and a whole murder trial. Then, her friends are dealing with their own personal issues. The way my character, Bryon, fits into that is that you see a different side of him. Last season, [he was] very cool, calm and collected. This season, you see him start to comfort Maxine (Sara Waisglass), for example, when she's going through it. You also get to see a more emotional, caring side of him as well.

Amanda Matlovich/Netflix © 2025 MM: What can you tease about Bryon and Bracia's relationship in Season 3? How does this season test their bond? AM: This season, you see the ups and downs of young love. You see them wrestle with what love is. Because [this is] the first time they've both been in a situation and wrestled with, 'Do we love each other? What's happening here?' Their relationship definitely gets tested, more so like, 'What are we doing here?' MM: What can viewers expect when they watch this season? AM: A lot of drama. It's a very emotional season, really. Out of the three seasons, this one definitely pushes all the characters to their breaking point. We see them deal with things in ways we've never seen before. MM: Describe Season 3 using three words. AM: Emotional. Deep. Surprising. MM: Do you share any similarities with Bryon? AM: We do have a few similarities. In Season 2, Bryon stops playing football to join the musical because he has a crush on Bracia. When I was in high school, I did the opposite. I played rugby to impress a girl in grade 9 instead of doing theater. It worked, but I quickly realized I'm not a rugby guy.

AM: It's always such a joy shooting the musical episodes. It takes me back to when I was still in high school doing musicals for my school. Those are always a treat to do because it's like a combination of doing real-life theater. It feels like a real production, while also getting that film and TV aspect of it. On the Horizon Tameka Griffiths as Bracia Charles, Agape Mngomezulu as Bryon in episode 302 of Ginny & Georgia. Cr. Courtesy of Netflix © 2025 MM: What else is on the horizon for you, career-wise? AM: I have a movie coming out called Lucky Weekend . It's written, produced and directed by Kevin Alves, who is on Yellowjackets . He also stars in it. That'll come out at some point. It'll be doing a festival run between this year and the upcoming year. That'll be really exciting. It's a fun movie. MM: Have you watched anything interesting lately? AM: I've really been in my reality TV bag. I'm loving this season of Love Island USA . There's something about watching other people go through real-life drama. It's an escape because when I watch movies and TV, I'm analyzing the acting. How things are done in the production. When I'm watching reality TV, I'm like, 'Wow, this is just fun.' MM: You can turn your brain off for a little bit. AM: Exactly. Brain off. We're just enjoying [things] after a long day. RELATED: Cecilia Lee on the Wild Ride That Is Fear Street: Prom Queen MM: Last question. Name your five favorite films. AM: Number one favorite film of all time — Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. Mr. Nobody . Meet the Robinsons . Inception . A more recent one, Sinners . I know everyone's talking about it. I didn't want to buy into the hype; I was like, 'I'm going to watch this without any preconceived notions, and I'm going to judge it critically.' Then, I watched it and was like, 'Okay, this is pretty amazing.' All three seasons of Ginny & Georgia are now streaming on Netflix.
