Cobourg residents will once again see American flags flying at Victoria Hall when the production company for Ginny & Georgia returns to downtown Cobourg to shoot the third season of the popular Netflix series.
American flags will also be flying on King Street West and Canada Post mailboxes on downtown Cobourg sidewalks will be transformed into American mailboxes from Tuesday (May 14) through Thursday.
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 G2G Series 3 Inc. previously visited Cobourg in 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, and then in 2022 to film the second season, which spent nearly two months in the global top 10 in 88 countries.
There will around 120 crew members, 45 background performers, and 40 production trucks in Cobourg for the shoot. Filming preparation will take place on Tuesday and Wednesday, with filming on Thursday and tear-down on Friday.
Filming locations will include The El at 74 King St West, William Academy at 135 King St West, Victoria Park near the bandshell, Victoria Hall at 55 King Street West (exterior shots only), and travelling shots on downtown roads.

During filming day on Thursday, Third Street between King Street to Albert Street will be temporarily closed from 4 to 11 p.m. (local access will be allowed) and King Street West between Hibernia Street and Third Street will be closed from 6 to 11 p.m. There will also be intermittent traffic stoppages on King Street West from 9 a.m. to 2 a.m.
Production vehicles will be parking in the Marina parking lot, the McGill Street lot, and in various metered parking spaces on Third Street and King Street West, which will be paid for by the production company.
The project is supported by the Town of Cobourg and the Downtown Business Improvement Area (DBIA). Cobourg police will be working directly with the production company to ensure safety and traffic control.
