The wait for season 3 of Ginny & Georgia is almost over!

On Thursday, Jan. 30, Netflix announced the third season of the hit teen drama series will premiere on June 5. The story will pick up right after last season’s cliffhanger.

“Georgia (Brianne Howey) has just been arrested for murder during her wedding — ruining her fairy tale ending and putting the spotlight on the Millers like never before,” the official synopsis reads. “It’s always been Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this.” 

The description continues: “Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – is the two of them against the world something Ginny really wants to sign up for?”

In the first-look images from the upcoming season, Georgia is behind bars, with a worried look on her face, and in the other, Ginny and her younger brother Austin (Diesel La Torraca) sit in what appears to be a courtroom with stern faces, likely awaiting news from their mom’s trial.

As fans may recall, the final episode of the show’s second season ended with Georgia Miller being arrested for the murder of Cynthia Fuller (Sabrina Grdevich)’s husband in the middle of her wedding reception. She was then taken away by the police as her new husband Paul (Scott Porter) and children — Ginny and Austin — watched.

The series creator Sarah Lampert told PEOPLE in January 2023 that the surprise ending was planned from the beginning.

“How we pitched season 1 and then how we ended our pitch of season 2 was, ‘Then Georgia’s married to Paul, they’re having their first dance, and she’s arrested for murder,’” she recalled. “So it was always the plan.”

As for what’s to come in season 3, Lampert teased “all of the dominoes have been set up as far back as season 1.”

As for Georgia’s children Ginny and Austin, they will struggle in the aftermath of their mother’s arrest, according to Lampert.

“Ginny also has a lot of guilt associated with actions that her mother has done,” she explained. “We see that conversation with her in Cordova, in the coffee shop, where he’s like, ‘If this happens again, it’s on you. You’re protecting your mom, and she plays God. If she hurts someone else, this one’s on you.’ That’s something Ginny’s going to have to grapple with.”

Lampert added Austin will wrestle with his emotions after witnessing his mother’s murder “because that is unarguably a traumatic thing for a little boy to witness.”

Earlier this month, Howey, 35, told PEOPLE that the upcoming season of Ginny & Georgia is “unhinged.”

“I’m blown away that the writers are still able to show us completely new sides of each character, and that’s what you’re going to see in season 3,” she gushed.

“You will see a lot of grit and hustle, but in an entirely new way. Georgia has to dig deeper into a part of herself we haven’t seen yet,” she added. “So, she has to use that grit in all new ways.”

When it comes to Georgia and her daughter Ginny’s “ever-changing relationship,” the actress also explained that fans will begin to see “new similarities between them as well as enormous differences.”
