If you see American flags flying at Victoria Hall in downtown Cobourg later this month, it’s not an invasion — the production company for Ginny & Georgia is returning to shoot the second second season of the Netflix series.
G2G Series 2 Inc. will be visiting Cobourg from Tuesday, February 22nd until Friday, February 25th, with filming taking place at Victoria Park, Victoria Hall, and on King Street West (from Third Street to Hibernia Street).

Filming preparation will take place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on February 22 and 23, with filming from 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. on February 24 and tear-down from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on February 25.
A mother-and-daughter coming-of-age series starring Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howy, Ginny & Georgia tells the story of 15-year-old Ginny Miller, who often feels more mature than her free-spirited 30-year-old mother Georgia Miller.
The production company visited Cobourg in August and October 2019 to film the first season of the series, which was watched by 52 million subscribers in the first 28 days after its release in 2021.
