If you’re anything like me, you spent two years whining about the wait for Ginny & Georgia season 3, and then you binged the whole season in a day or two when it came out last month. Hey, it happens. Sue me for appreciating high art that spotlights complex female villains, messy mother-daughter dynamics, juicy as fuck love triangles, and a (deeply triggering) dive into the psychology of teen girl bullying.
So, what’s a woman to do after she’s just finished one of the greatest recent seasons of television? Well, first, she needs to check out what show creator Sarah Lampert teased to Betches about season 4 (which is confirmed, yes). But after that, it’s time to go on a hunt for some shows that deliver a similar thrill and take her on an equally emotional journey.
Fortunately for all the Ginny & Georgia girlies out there, I’ve watched an alarming amount of television throughout my life, including many shows that hit the same sweet spot. Today, I gift you: the best shows similar to Ginny & Georgia. My expertly crafted list includes more teen dramas, mother-daughter stories, and comedies with a dash of a crime. Happy binging <3.
Shows Similar To Ginny & Georgia
Tiny Pretty Things
Tiny Pretty Things is an extremely underrated dark teen drama on Netflix! Set in an elite ballet academy in Chicago, the show kicks off with star student Cassie Shore getting pushed from a rooftop, falling to her death. When a new dancer replaces Cassie, she uncovers a whole lot of secrets and betrayals. If you’re into the crime and teen chaos of Ginny & Georgia, you’re gonna eat this up.
13 Reasons Why
Max’s storyline in Ginny & Georgia season 3 instantly brought me back to this powerful, formative 2017 series starring Katherine Langford and Wallows king Dylan Minnette. If you want more teen drama and devastating stories about bullying and mental health, this is the follow-up show for you. Based on Jay Asher’s book, the series follows the story of Hannah Baker and the heartbreaking events that led to her suicide.
Never Have I Ever
Never Have I Ever, I miss you every day. This beautiful, perfect Netflix comedy follows high school student Devi as she navigates her father’s death, school life, and a love triangle. This show is perfect for the Ginny & Georgia fans who appreciate a balance of serious topics and light, funny moments. The great news? There are four seasons for you to enjoy.
Little Fires Everywhere
Much like Ginny & Georgia, Little Fires Everywhere follows a single mother and her teenage daughter moving to an affluent suburb. (Except in Little Fires Everywhere it’s Ohio, not Massachusetts.) The highly addictive limited series, based on Celeste Ng’s book, explores complex mother-daughter relationships, racial and class tensions, and the secrets simmering beneath ~perfect~ suburban lives.
Dead To Me
Dead to Me (one of the best dark comedies out there, for real) follows a recently widowed real estate agent, Jen, and Judy, a woman she meets at a grief support group. The twist? Judy was secretly involved in the hit-and-run that killed Jen’s husband. As Jen finds out more of the truth about her husband’s death, things spiral real fast. It definitely has those unhinged Ginny & Georgia vibes!
My Life With The Walter Boys
My Life With the Walter Boys is one of the most elite new Netflix teen dramas, and we’re about to be blessed with season 2 in August! The show follows Jackie, a teen from New York who moves to Colorado after her family dies in a tragic accident. She moves in with the Walter family (which includes 10 boys) and finds herself in a love triangle with two of the brothers. So, if you want more romance and high school drama, I highly recommend.
