Netflix's Ginny & Georgia may seem like a classic mother-daughter drama on the surface, but it doesn't take long to realize that Georgia Miller has a few more skeletons in her closet than Lorelai Gilmore ever did. When Georgia's wealthy husband suddenly dies and she decides to relocate her kids to a small town outside of Boston, it seems like the fresh start that they've all been looking for. But unsurprisingly, the problems that Georgia was so desperately trying to run from soon catch up with the family in their new town — spelling trouble for her relationship with her daughter Ginny.

Add in two different sets of love triangles (one for Georgia and one for Ginny, of course), some classic teenage drama, and a little mystery and intrigue, and you've got Ginny & Georgia. Here's a guide to the cast of characters that populate this small New England town.

Brianne Howey as Georgia

Brianne Howey stars as Georgia, the mother to Ginny and Austin who's reportedly a bit of a grifter. Although Ginny & Georgia is Howey's first leading role, she's also known for portraying Reagan in the CW's Batwoman, as well as Shauna Babcock in FOX's The Passage.

Antonia Gentry as Ginny

Prior to Ginny & Georgia, Antonia Gentry was best known for her role as Wendy in the Netflix series Raising Dion. In a recent interview with W Magazine, Gentry discussed the portrayal of Ginny in the series. "I didn’t feel like Ginny [was] a token,” she remarked. “When we do bring up her more serious struggles, whether it be with her mom, self-harm, or her identity, it’s not done for shock value. It’s understated, but it’s still serious."

Diesel La Torraca as Austin

Diesel La Torraca plays Austin, Georgia's son and Ginny's younger half-brother, who reportedly loves the Harry Potter series (notice his glasses?). La Torraca may be young, but he's been building up his resumé — most recently, he was in the film Little Monsters and the limited series Lambs of God.
