The Town of Cobourg would like to advise citizens that the production company G2G Series Inc. will return to Cobourg from Saturday, November 23rd until Tuesday, November 26th to film the final episode of season one of the Netflix TV series, Ginny & Georgia.
The series includes 10-episodes for “Ginny & Georgia,” a mother-daughter coming of age series featuring Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howy (“The Passage”) who will play the daughter and mother. “Ginny & Georgia” centres on Ginny Miller, a fifteen-year-old who often feels more mature than her thirty-year-old mother Georgia Miller. After years on the run, Georgia wants to put down roots in the charming New England town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts and give her family a normal life. For Ginny, that means navigating a prestigious school, rising popularity, and complicated love interests. The new series will stream on Netflix in 2020.
