It’s now been several weeks since Ginny & Georgia (finally) returned to our screens after an extended hiatus, with the show being impacted by the Hollywood strikes of 2023. We won’t be waiting quite as long for season 4, which is currently in active development with a planned shoot for later this Summer. In the past few days, showrunner Sarah Lampert has revealed some interesting tidbits about the show’s development and what we can expect going into season 4.
In a new interview with Popternative, Lampert opened up about cliffhangers, character growth, and how fan reactions are helping shape the future of the Netflix hit. A few of the headlines:
- Season 4 is currently in the writers’ room (it began earlier this year) and is already halfway through development.
- Lampert confirms she knows who Georgia’s baby’s father is, but isn’t telling.
- The team plans to take a pause to integrate fan reactions directly into the story.
Lampert began by reflecting on the journey thus far, expressing how she has undergone a similar creative evolution alongside her characters. She described how each season has brought its own unique emotional experience. Season 1, she admitted, caught her off guard. The sudden release into the world and the whirlwind of attention was overwhelming, and she hadn’t anticipated how intense the response would be. By Season 2, Lampert felt more grounded and confident in her role. “I had a little thicker skin,” she explained, adding that she fully leaned into the experience. On the night of the premiere, she spent hours on Twitter watching fans react in real time to specific episodes and plot twists. She described it as “one of the more fun nights” of her career.
Season 3, however, was on a whole new level. Lampert said the “fervor for the show was at an all-time high,” with fans posting countdowns and building massive anticipation. Rather than feeling pressure, she embraced it. Her favorite part, she shared, is when the show finally leaves her hands and belongs to the audience. After years of obsessing over tiny details — like which shirt a character should wear or which song should play in a scene, she finds joy in watching the world respond. “I protect it from each stage,” she said, “and then I get to just give it to the world.”
Speaking about the end of Season 3, which concluded with several major developments, including the revelation of Georgia’s pregnancy and Ginny continuing to reckon with her mother’s violent past, Lampert emphasized that these moments aren’t just dramatic twists, but foundational shifts in the characters’ emotional landscapes. She called them “life-changing cliffhangers” that will drive the direction of Season 4. “Ginny finding out her mom is a murderer changes that world for that character,” she said. “Georgia getting arrested changes the world for that character. And then, you know, Georgia finding out she’s pregnant… that changes the world for the character.”

Moving on to what’s coming next, Lampert first provided an update on the writing process for the show, saying, “I’m halfway through the writer’s room with the writers right now. I’m doing this, and I should be in the writer’s room right now.” You may recall that we recently received word that filming is scheduled to take place sometime in Summer 2025, with a planned wrap in February 2026. Although this is not confirmed here, it does suggest that things are moving rapidly.
Naturally, one of the biggest fan questions coming out of the finale is the identity of the father of Georgia’s baby. Lampert confirmed that she knows who the father is, but isn’t revealing it. She brought the decision into the writers’ room, sharing her theory with the team and challenging them to change her mind, going through all the butterfly effects of each character if they were the father. After intense discussion, the group briefly changed course before ultimately returning to Lampert’s original idea. “So it’s who I originally wanted it to be,” she said.
Looking ahead, Lampert didn’t reveal specific storylines for Season 4 but expressed excitement about the direction things are heading. She said the writers’ room is energized, and she feels creatively inspired by the people around her. And while fans are hungry for answers, she’s just as committed to letting the show unfold with care and emotional honesty.
Another interesting tidbit is how much fan reaction and commentary influence the show stating that the writer’s room is planning to take a pause to reflect on the feedback on season 3. “We’re going to take Monday to stop, not push story forward, and really talk about all of the commentary and the reactions to season three,” Lamper said, explaining that although they began writing Season 4 before Season 3 was released, the writers planned to pause forward progress to fully absorb fan feedback, from Twitter, Reddit, TikTok, and beyond. Lampert said this is an important part of the creative process for her.
She explained that her background in theater taught her to embrace both praise and criticism as part of being a storyteller. “I think it makes my work better,” she said. “It makes me think deeper about things.” Rather than becoming defensive or retreating from public discourse, Lampert leans into the conversation. “I love both the good and the bad. It forces me to reevaluate the choices that I made, and sometimes double down on them and sometimes change them.”
