It’s been two years since we last saw Ginny & Georgia on our screens, with season two concluding with a dramatic and emotional finale that left us wanting more. Good news: the highly anticipated third season releases today (5 June), which fans expect will explore the fallout following Georgia’s shocking arrest at her wedding from hell. No doubt we’ll all be logging into Netflix to binge it like a dog starved for chaos. 

But what about the inevitable post-binge void that washes over you after finishing a show that’s just so good that you fear nothing will ever live up to it? Well, whether you came for the murder mystery, stayed for the LGBTQIA+ storylines, or enjoy your drama with a generous helping of family dysfunction, here are five shows that will fill the Ginny & Georgia-shaped hole in your heart. 

Atypical 

While Atypical might lack that thriller edge that Ginny & Georgia brings, it more than makes up for it with emotional depth. If you were drawn to the raw, complicated family dynamics of Ginny & Georgia, then this one will absolutely hit you right in the feels. Following Sam, a teenager on the autism spectrum, the show explores family relationships and teenage identity as he navigates high school.

Not to mention the show’s exploration of sexuality through Sam’s sister, Casey (Jack Haven), who develops a relationship with Izzie, forming one of the most realistic and grounded portrayals of teen lesbian love on screen. 

Never Have I Ever 

Created by Mindy Kaling, Never Have I Ever is another show that balances sharp humour with emotional depth. It follows Devi, a high-achieving Indian American teen dealing with the grief of losing her father, culture clashes, and the chaotic impulses that come with being a teenage girl. With a loving but strained relationship with her mother, Devi’s story reflects the same themes of loss, identity, and independence that we see in Ginny’s. 

Plus, the show doesn’t shy away from race, class, or mental health, and features LGBTQIA+ characters, including one of Devi’s best friends, Fabiola.

Glee 

For a more over-the-top, campy take on teen life, Glee is definitely a classic. The show brings together high school outsiders through music, drama, and chaos. Under all the glitter and show tunes, though, is a strong emotional core.  LGBTQIA+ characters, like Santana, a closeted lesbian cheerleader who eventually comes out and finds love and acceptance, are major parts of the story. The show also dives into class, bullying, body image, and family rejection, all while delivering iconic one-liners and musical numbers. Even if you’re like me and you’ve rewatched it a million times, it’s always a joy to go back to. 

Euphoria

If you’re looking for some teen drama with a little more grit, Euphoria hits the mark. This intense, beautifully shot drama follows Rue, a Black lesbian teen dealing with addiction, grief, and mental illness, as she falls for Jules, a trans girl new to town. It’s raw, moody, and emotionally devastating while also exploring sexuality, gender, friendship, and the desire to feel something real in a hyper-digital world.

While Euphoria is heavier and darker, it shares Ginny & Georgia’s exploration of mental health and self-destruction. 

Desperate Housewives

If you loved Ginny & Georgia for the themes of motherhood, secrets, and survival, this one is for you. Swap teen drama for suburban scandal and you’ve got Desperate Housewives. Set on the seemingly picture-perfect Wisteria Lane, the show blends murder mystery, romantic entanglements, and emotional meltdowns with comedy and a dash of satire that critiques gender roles and expectations. Women hide affairs, crimes, and traumas while trying to protect their children and their reputations.

The show also includes LGBTQIA+ characters, like Katherine Mayfair, a bisexual woman who, much like Georgia, escapes abuse to try and start a new life.
