SPOILER ALERT:The story includes details about Season 2 ofNetflixsGinny & Georgia.
When Cynthia witnesses Gil being abusive toward Georgia, she blocks his rental utility.
Its almost like Superman got taken down.
(L to R) Antonia Gentry as Ginny, Brianne Howey as GeorgiaNetflix
Well see if she can get out of this mess shes found herself in.
DEADLINE:What are your thoughts about getting Season 3?
Are you already working on potential storylines?
Ginny & Georgia. (L to R) Chelsea Clark as Norah, Sara Waisglass as Maxine Baker (Netflix)
LAMPERT: You know whats great?
So theres a lot of freedom there.
That being said, no, theres been no talks with Netflix about Season 3.
Theyre very regimented about how they do things.
DEADLINE:Lets talk about that.
What can you tease about what happens next?
We have two minors, Ginny and Austin.
Who will they stay with?
DEADLINE:Lets talk about Georgias decision to kill Tom.
Why did she do it?
DEADLINE: SinceCynthiashowed compassion for Georgia once, could she come forward?
She could hold the key toexonerating Georgia who was arrested for essentially trying to help her.
LAMPERT: Anything could happen.
I think that Cynthiain no meanswanted Georgia to do that.
But that would definitely be something that I think we would want to explore in Season 3.
Nick also has secrets that Cordova was not aware of about Georgias crime in the Mayors office.
Does the police know about that?
How much can he take?
LAMPERT: My favorite thing about all the characters is they have these layers, and theyre very surprising.
So in a Season 3, I think honestly anything could happen.
DEADLINE:Paul has been way too perfect and forgiving.
LAMPERT: I think we see him lose his temper a little bit, especially around guns.
I think that that is a really interesting choice that Scott made.
DEADLINE:But we dont know whether or not hes aware of the check situation?
LAMPERT: We do not know whether he is aware of the check situation or not, no.
I think for Paul, we see him be very supportive; they just got married.
DEADLINE:And poor Joe,everybodys favorite character who is always suffering.
Is there possibly a future for him and Georgia now that she clearly also is aware of their past?
LAMPERT: Yes, she knows who he is.
What Ill say about Joe is that I think he loves very purely.
I just need to know.
Is it all in my head?
Because he feels like hes the only one with these feelings.
At least not at this moment in her life.
Then they reconciled, with Ginnyaccepting her mothers motives.
Can you talk about that first rebellious phase and how the two made up?
We spent all of Season 2 getting them there.
Because I do think that Ginny really grapples with who her mother is and what her mother has done.
DEADLINE:Ginny and Marcus relationship.
Talk aboutthe future of their relationship as well as portraying difficult issues like depression and self-harm.
LAMPERT: Its really important for us to portray these issues in a realistic way.
So we actually have a licensed psychiatrist who reads every script and gives us feedback.
And then Mental Health America watches every episode and gives us notes.
A very realistic thing with that is relapse.
For Marcus depression, its the same thing.
So we really wanted the characters to go through a lot but then ultimately be gentle to one another.
Will we see her romantically with one of them or could there be a new guy coming in?
I think its very clear that he is in acceptance of the fact that Ginny loves Marcus.
She loves Marcus more than she loves him, and I dont think hes angry about it.
I dont think he holds it against her.
Hes just hurt, he has hurt feelings about it.
DEADLINE:What about Ginny and Marcus?
Is there a romantic future for them?
LAMPERT: In terms of Season 3, all bets are off.
Maybe there are new characters, who knows.
We dont have a Season 3 yet.
The process of the writers room is very much, Deb and I going in with our plan.
The idea for episodes 8-9 being a Tarantino reference in Season 2 came from a writers assistant.
DEADLINE:Can you talk about those Tarantino references?
So thats where we see all these other characters.
The episode is called Kill Gil, which is a reference toKill Bill.
And we have Georgia in her yellow suit, which is very Uma Thurman-y.
The shows entertainment, its super fun.
Will we see more about that in Season 3?
LAMPERT: Yes, thats definitely the plan.
So it was important to us not to resolve it because thats just not realistic.
Its the same with Marcus depression coming back.
These things are not easily tied up by end credits.
DEADLINE:Season 2 delved deeper into Ginnys racial identity.
She got closer with the other Black students at the school.
She also had another incident in her AP English class and ended up dropping the class.
Can you talk about that and what may happen next?
LAMPERT: Yeah, we had a lot of discussion about this in the writers room.
And these are all complicated issues.
So in Season 2, shes trying to figure out what safe spaces exist for her.
I think she had to do what felt right to her, and thats ultimately what she did.
But we see that she is also the one whos punished for it.
Talk aboutdoingthat and do you have a musical in mind for next year?
Youre talking about Ginnys struggle.
It adds a level of like, all right, were very much back in high school.
DEADLINE:Speaking of Maxine, she made up with Ginny but her romantic life is still a mess.
Theres a potential new love for her after Sophie, Silver.
Whats next for her?
Thank you, maam.
Your ex comes back into the picture with some complicated emotions.
Shes trying to figure out her own feelings too.
Shes always been brutally honest with Maxine and not playing games with her.
But at the same time, its Maxine setting a really firm boundary and making a decision with Silver.
DEADLINE:Felix is a musician.
Were like, Okay, fair enough.
I think its such a cool thing about Felix.
His acting absolutely destroyed me this season, absolutely blew me away.
DEADLINE:Marcus now knows Georgias secret, and Georgia knows Marcus knows.
If we follow Stanislavskis gun on the wall rule, eventually something is going to happen.
Will that play into the storyline next season?
LAMPERT: I think that thats very much something that we would uncover in the writers room.
This is her idea of a successful life.
This is why Joe means so much to her because he really symbolizes this dove of hope.
This is how it could be.
And she was the opposite of that.
Her daughter was going to be on that field trip.
I think that thats what this town really means to her.
Thats why she sought out Wellsbury specifically, because thats where he was from.
DEADLINE:Anything else it’s possible for you to say about the themes in a potential third season?
Its just really, really hard to be human.
So its hard for our characters to be human.
We deal with complex, messy characters, and its hard for all of our viewers to human.
So sit back, relax and let us entertain you for 10 hours.
