SUMMARY
- Ginny & Georgia set a new streaming record on Netflix, ensuring a promising future for the series and its fans, particularly those who enjoyed Gilmore Girls.
- The show explores the complex relationship between a former teen mother, Georgia, and her now-teenage daughter, Ginny, with similarities to Gilmore Girls but with a darker tone.

Netflix's Ginny & Georgia set a new streaming record on the platform, which gives the series a promising future, especially for fans of Gilmore Girls. The show explores the close relationship between a former teen mother, Georgia Miller, and her now-teenage daughter, Ginny. The series bears many similarities to Gilmore Girls, and not just in their alliterative titles.
A close-in-age mother-daughter duo who often butt heads due to their differing maturity levels is at the core of both shows, though Ginny & Georgia has a much darker tone. In the first episode, Georgia even tells Ginny that the two of them are "like the Gilmore girls, but with bigger boobs."
Season 1 of Ginny & Georgia ended up being a huge hit, quickly earning a second season, which was also massively successful. Ginny & Georgia season 3 is already in the works with an additional fourth season to follow.
Based on the renewals alone, Ginny & Georgia is clearly very popular. In fact, Netflix's latest streaming data reports that Ginny & Georgia was one of the top 10 most popular series on Netflix this year, and it even set a new streaming record.
Ginny & Georgia Was Netflix's Biggest Returning Show In The First Half Of 2023
According to Netflix's engagement report, Ginny & Georgia season 2 was the second most streamed title on Netflix between January and June 2023 with 665 million hours streamed. It comes second only to season 1 of The Night Agent, which premiered in March.
Season 1 of Ginny & Georgia also managed to crack the top 10, in ninth place with 302 million hours streamed, despite premiering back in February 2021. With seasons 1 and 2 coming in second and ninth, Ginny & Georgia was the only show to rank multiple seasons in the top 10, making it the biggest returning series for Netflix in the first half of 2023.
Ginny & Georgia's Viewership Could Mean It Runs As Long As Gilmore Girls
Clearly, Ginny & Georgia is massively popular and a huge moneymaker for Netflix. If it continues to bring in the same level of viewership and remains consistent in its quality, Ginny & Georgia could last as long as its thematic predecessor, Gilmore Girls. Of course, in the streaming era, TV shows tend to have a shorter lifespan than network shows like Gilmore Girls, which ran for seven seasons, from 2000 to 2007.
Ginny & Georgia will have to keep proving itself and earning its stay to avoid a cancelation in the near future, especially as a Netflix original. That said, with numbers like these, Netflix will likely hold on to Ginny & Georgia for a while. The show has already been renewed for a third and fourth season, so it's not implausible for Ginny & Georgia to end up with a seven-year run like Gilmore Girls, or even longer.
