Ginny & Georgia Season 3 Predictions: Arrests, Breakups, and One Major Betrayal

If you thought Georgia walking down the aisle was going to end happily ever after, bless your heart. Because instead of tossing the bouquet, our favorite ride-or-die Southern belle got slapped with handcuffs, at her own wedding—and not in the fun kind of way. Now with Season 3 of Ginny & Georgia less than a week away, all I can say is: grab your wine, your therapy journal, and maybe a lawyer, because things are about to get messy.

We’ve got arrests, emotional trauma, exes lurking like bad decisions, and a daughter who’s trying real hard not to become her mother (while accidentally doing just that). So naturally, I’ve got predictions—and plenty of them. Let’s get into the possible chaos, character growth (or lack thereof), and romantic rebounds coming our way in Season 3.

Austin & Zion—The Bond We Didn’t Know We Needed

Now this is the relationship I’ve got my eye on this season. Because listen—Austin has seen way too much for a kid his age. Gun violence, secrets, murder confessions, and now his mama getting hauled off in a wedding dress? Whew. That boy is not okay, and Zion might just be the only adult in his life stable enough to show up consistently without dragging a trail of emotional destruction behind him.

Zion has that calm, grounded, emotionally intelligent dad energy—and let’s be real, Austin needs more of that and less “Gil popping up with a smirk and a threat.” I see this season giving us some tender, much-needed moments between them as well as some flashbacks on their relationship in the past. I can see Zion being the one Austin finally opens up to about what he saw Georgia do. And Zion stepping into that protector role not just for Ginny, but for Austin too? That’s the redemption arc I’m rooting for.

Paul & Georgia – A Marriage Built on Mayhem (and Lies)

Let’s go ahead and call it, Paul and Georgia are just not it! Pretty together for about five minutes… until the truth hits. Yes, he's charming, decent, and has that small-town political prince energy—but Georgia? Georgia is chaos wrapped in deceiving charm and survival instincts. And Paul? Baby, he still thinks honesty is a love language. 

Season 3 is going to peel the bandaid all the way off this mismatched marriage. Georgia lied to him, manipulated him, and walked down the aisle with a smile full of secrets. Yes, she did come clean about a few things, but those things were definitely selective. He found out the very next second that he married a woman accused of murder. Now unless Paul suddenly taps into his dark side (and I’m not holding my breath), I don’t see him sticking around for Georgia's emotional firestorm.

And don’t get me wrong—Paul wants to be her safe space. He wants the white picket fence, the kids, the clean slate. But Georgia doesn't do clean. She does “survive at all costs,” and Paul? He’s allergic to mess, especially the kind that could ruin his mayoral career and land him on the evening news.

The real issue here? Georgia doesn’t trust him enough to be real. She gave him the curated version of herself, not the scarred woman beneath. And when the truth is that ugly, love alone won’t be enough to hold things together. Trust me, I’ve seen this in real life too many times—if someone can’t handle the whole truth, they can’t handle you.

So my bet? This marriage either combusts early in Season 3 or simmers into resentment and power plays. Either way, Georgia’s going to realize something: marrying a “good guy” doesn’t work if you’ve never felt safe enough to be good yourself.

Georgia & Zion – Old Flame, New Fire?

Let’s be honest—Zion has always been that guy. Smooth, steady, and somehow still has Georgia’s number (emotionally and probably literally). He knows her past, has seen her mess, and still shows up—camera in hand, heart in pocket, ready to love her and the chaos she brings. That kind of history doesn’t just fade, especially when the new husband is falling apart at the seams.

In Season 3, with Paul questioning everything and Georgia possibly facing jail time, don’t be surprised if Zion steps back into her orbit—and not just as the cool co-parent. There’s a bond there that’s never fully broken. And unlike Paul, Zion doesn’t need Georgia to be perfect. He already knows she’s cracked and complicated—and he respects the grind that got her here.

The tension? Still there. The trust? Stronger than with Paul, ironically. And the love? Oh, it’s always been simmering under the surface, waiting for the right (or wrong) moment to catch fire again.

Because here’s the thing: Zion’s not naïve. He knows Georgia didn’t just “fall into” a life of lies and body counts. He’s watched her cover things up, manipulate situations, and weaponize charm like it’s her superpower. And while he’s turned a blind eye to a lot of it in the name of co-parenting and complicated love, Season 3 could be the moment where he draws a line—for his sake, and for Ginny and Austin.

And that would hurt Georgia in a whole new way.

I see a moment coming where Zion has to choose: does he keep enabling Georgia's survival tactics, or does he finally challenge her to stop running from herself? And if that means loving her from a distance? Whew. That’s going to sting more than any breakup—because Georgia trusts Zion’s love, but she’s never really earned his trust in return.

Would a Georgia-Zion reunion be messy? Absolutely. But would it be real? Yes—and maybe for once, that’s what they need to finally be themselves.

Marcus Breaks the Code and Tells on Georgia

Now if this happens? We are in for a season-shaking moment. Because Marcus? Sweet, broody, sad-boy Marcus? He might be more dangerous to Georgia than anyone realizes—and not because he wants to hurt her, but because he actually cares about Ginny in a real, unfiltered, “I want you safe even if it costs me everything” kind of way.

Let’s go back to when Ginny told Marcus her mother killed her stepfather to protect her. That’s not some lighthearted “my mom's wild” confession. That’s deep trauma. And Marcus, bless his quiet little heart, is walking around with that secret burning a hole in his conscience.

The reality is, Marcus has his own mental health struggles,and he doesn't play about emotional safety. He sees Ginny spiraling. He sees how this trauma is eating at her. And one day—especially if Georgia keeps hurting Ginny, or if the law closes in—I can absolutely see Marcus breaking and going to someone. Maybe Zion. Maybe the police. Maybe even Paul.

Not to be malicious. Not for revenge. But because he believes telling the truth might be the only way to finally free Ginny from Georgia’s web.

And when Georgia finds out? Oh, it’s over.

She will see that as betrayal of the highest order. Because Georgia doesn’t just survive off secrets—she needs loyalty to breathe. And Marcus? He’ll be enemy number one, especially if it leads to new charges, new danger, or Ginny emotionally pulling away from her mother even more.

Zion’s Girlfriend Defends Georgia? The Pettiest Plot Twist Yet

Okay, now hear me out, Simone, Zion’s smart, accomplished, no-nonsense criminal lawyer girlfriend, stepping in to defend Georgia after she gets arrested? That would be the ultimate plot twist—and I am here for it!

Because let’s remember: Simone was introduced last season with a career that was lowkey suspiciously relevant. Criminal law? In a show about a woman with bodies buried figuratively and literally? That wasn't a coincidence—that was setup.

So now Georgia’s behind bars, and who better to step up than Simone? Except, Simone does not like Georgia. You could feel the tension whenever they shared screen time. Simone knows Georgia is manipulative. She sees right through the “Southern charm” act, and she probably has a whole group chat dedicated to unpacking Georgia’s demeanor.

But here’s where it gets real complicated, what if Zion asks her for help. And if Zion asks, Simone might actually say yes. Why? Because she’s a professional, and despite the pettiness simmering beneath the surface, she loves him. She cares about Ginny. And somewhere deep down, she knows that Georgia’s mess doesn’t mean Ginny should lose her mother completely.

Ginny & Max Are About to Get Their Flirt On

First up—Ginny. Sis has been through it. Marcus, heartbreak, family drama, and a casual side of generational trauma. So when Netflix announced a new boy in her poetry class—Wolfe, played by Ty Doran—I leaned all the way in.

Wolfe is described as “laid-back” and “not that into poetry,” which screams disinterested bad boy who ends up accidentally falling in love through a shared trauma monologue and a group project. You know the type. And Ginny? She loves a brooding boy with a messy edge (Oh, hey, Marcus!). 

Wolfe might be the kind of love interest Ginny needs now—someone outside her circle, who doesn’t know her history or her mom’s rap sheet. Someone who sees her for who she is, not what she’s been through. And if he challenges her in class? Bonus points. I can already see her writing a poem about him, and then swearing it isn’t about him. 

Now for Max—oh, my chaos loving drama queen. After that wild ride with Sophie, Max deserves someone who gets her, matches her energy, and doesn’t make her feel like she has to shrink to be loved.

Netflix broke news that Noah Lamanna (they/them) will play Tris, introduced as a skateboard friend of Marcus and Silver will be recurring this season, who is already giving fresh energy and a much-needed nonbinary rep. I’m predicting this character will not only shake up Max’s love life, but also challenge her to grow emotionally—because let’s be honest, Max can be a lot, and she needs someone who can call her out while still cuddling on the couch afterward.

Georgia & Joe’s Backstory Is About to Hit Us Where It Hurts

So let’s rewind. Way back when, teen Georgia and teen Joe had that blink-and-you’ll-miss-it meet-cute moment at a bus stop. He gave her his number, she kept his sunglasses, and they both went on with their lives like fate hadn’t just literally tried to start something.

But now? Years later, she’s back in his orbit, married (for now), wanted (again), and emotionally unavailable (per usual)—and Joe’s just… there. Watching. Waiting. Running that coffee shop like it’s his emotional support business. And I don’t care what anyone says, the connection is there. And the past? It’s begging to be explored.

I can foreshadow Season 3 cracking open that lost chapter of Georgia and Joe’s teenage years. Maybe we get flashbacks. I pray we get flashbacks! Maybe Georgia confesses more than she meant to after one too many wine nights or police interrogations. But either way, we’re going to find out exactly why she never called him—and I bet it’s because she couldn’t, not because she didn’t want to.

Maybe she was running from something, or someone. Maybe she already knew she was pregnant with Ginny. Maybe she saw Joe’s kindness and knew she’d ruin it. Because Georgia doesn’t just avoid love—she dodges anything that feels safe. And Joe? He’s always been the one safe space she never dared step into.

But this season? The walls are crumbling. Her marriage is probably over, her secrets are catching up, and Joe is still standing there, loyal in flannel, offering decaf and quiet judgment. You know he still feels something. But will he finally say something?

Season 3 is about consequences, identity, and those messy in-between moments where love and survival get twisted up.

Whatever happens, I’m ready—with snacks, tissues, and zero judgment. So what do you think is coming? Let’s hear your wildest predictions!

Season 3 of Ginny and Georgia is set to premiere June 5th on Netflix.
