But it's not all carpool and Kombucha; Georgia's past threatens her family's new lifestyle, and she will do anything to protect her family.”
This exciting plot is carried forward by the talented cast members. Let us now explore in detail the characters of Ginny & Georgia and the actors who play them.
Ginny & Georgia cast and character guide
Brianne Howey as Georgia
One of the main characters, Brianne Howey, plays the role of Georgia, Ginny's and Autin’s mother. While, in the beginning, she appeared as this sweet and simple woman who just wanted the best for her family, it gradually became evident that she had a lot to hide and must do so to survive.
Besides Ginny & Georgia, Howey has also been part of projects like - I'm Dying Up Here, The Passage, Batwoman, etc.
Antonia Gentry as Ginny
Another protagonist of the show, Antonia Gentry, plays Georgia’s daughter, Ginny. She is a teenager going through a lot because of the constant moving around.
Ginny also serves as the narrator of Ginny & Georgia and sometimes feels that she might eventually be turning into her mother. Ginny’s romantic life is also quite tumultuous, and with the knowledge of her mother being a murderer, things turn even more difficult for her.
Gentry’s other projects include Driver's Ed: Tales from the Street, Time Cut, Candy Jar, etc.
Sara Waisglass As Maxine
Sara Waisglass plays the role of Maxine, a lesbian and Marcus’ twin sister. She is also a key member of the group MANG and has treated Ginny well since she joined them. However, despite being warm and friendly, she is also shown to have a neurotic side that tends to come out when unexpected things happen.
For instance, she does not take her breakup with Sophie well, nor does she react joyously to the news of Ginny and Marcus’ romance. However, her character goes through development and growth throughout the course of two seasons.
Waisglass has also been part of projects like October Faction, Degrassi: The Next Generation, Holly Hobbie, etc.
Mason Temple as Hunter Chen
Mason Temple is cast as Hunter Chen in Ginny & Georgia and is Ginny’s boyfriend. Despite being shown to be a positive individual, it is revealed that Hunter has issues of his own, especially regarding the treatment Asians receive there. Moreover, given how Ginny is totally attracted to Marcus, her relationship with Hunter becomes troubling despite Hunter being a really decent guy.
Temple has worked on projects like Boot Camp, iZombie season 4, etc.
Felix Mallard As Marcus
Felix Mallard’s Marcus is the stoner guy in Ginny & Georgia to whom Ginny feels deeply attracted. However, more than his external behavior, it is his internal qualities that draw Ginny to him. Moreover, Marcus also suffers from depression, and that further complicates things between him and Ginny. The fact that both of them were already in relationships also made matters worse.
Mallard’s other projects include Turtles All the Way Down, All the Bright Places, etc.
Katie Douglas As Abby
Katie Douglas brings Abby to life in Ginny & Georgia. She is a part of the MANG group and is shown to be going through a difficult time because of her parent’s divorce.

However, she tries to be a good friend to Ginny, and they bond better throughout the two seasons.
Katie has previously starred in The Girl Who Escaped: The Kara Robinson Story, Mary Kills People, Spooksville, etc.
Scott Porter as Paul Randolph

Paul also turns out to be Georgia’s romantic partner, which started after she took his help to get herself a job.
