Jenna Ortega’s Wednesday Addams will flex her dry wit (and arsenal of sharp instruments) in the second season of Netflix’s Wednesday, a deliriously twisted riff on the Addams Family franchise from director and executive producer Tim Burton.

Wednesday was a breakout hit in 2022, breaking free from the echo chamber of Netflix to flood TikTok and Instagram feeds the world over.

The pressure’s on to deliver a worthy follow-up, and Ortega, who signed on as a producer for season 2, is prepared. Not only has the star teased a scarier season 2, but she’s also helped recruit a supporting cast of top-notch talent, from Steve Buscemi and Joanna Lumley to pop idol Lady Gaga.

“We certainly set out to really stretch ourselves and stretch what the show could do and see where our characters could go,” said co-creator Miles Millar in a recent chat with Entertainment Weekly. “The last thing you want is people to be disappointed having waited for so long. We really want to ensure that the show is loaded with surprises and comedy and action, and that they see the characters they love, but also introduce new ones.”

Ahead of the season’s premiere — it drops in two installments on Aug. 6 and Sept. 3 — let’s reacquaint ourselves with Wednesday’s returning players and get to know the dark-eyed newbies haunting the halls of Nevermore Academy.

Is Georgia convicted of murder?

No, Georgia is found not guilty of Tom’s murder. She has Ginny to thank, as her daughter convinced Austin and Cynthia to lie on the stand and thus secure her freedom.

Ginny convinces Austin to testify that he saw his father, Gil (Aaron Ashmore), murder Tom, telling him that the abusive Gil wants to take Austin away to Michigan if their mom is locked up. “It’s your dad or your mom,” she tells him. “You have to pick.”

Gil wasn’t there, obviously, but she cooks up a story about Gil seeking revenge against Cynthia after she blocked his application for an apartment.

Her next step? Getting Cynthia to play along. She goes to Cynthia’s house, revealing that she knows about Cynthia’s affair with Joe, and that she has footage from Blue Farm’s security cameras to prove it. “My mom might not drag you down with her, but I would,” threatens Ginny.

Afraid of being found out, Cynthia admits under oath that it’s possible Gil could have been at her house that day. Later, however, she finds out from Joe that there are no cameras at Blue Farm. Ginny lied to her.

“Wow, that whole family’s insane,” she remarks.

How does the trial impact the Millers?

While Georgia is thankful to be free and reunited with her family, the press around the murder and the trial will nevertheless affect the family’s future. “Wherever we go, we can’t run from ourselves,” Ginny tells her mother. “This is our lives now. We’re this. Forever.”

Zion (Nathan Mitchell), Ginny’s father, knows Austin lied on the stand. Fearing the impact Georgia is having on her kids, he files for joint custody.

Georgia, too, is worried about Ginny’s behind-the-scenes machinations. “I want you to be careful about the person you’re becoming,” she tells her daughter. “I know what it’s like to cross a line you can’t come back from. I don’t want that for you and I don’t want that for Austin… I do hard things so you don’t have to. I know I’m a monster. I don’t want you to turn into monsters, too.”

And it’s true that Ginny is changing. After seeing the pieces fall into place during the trial, she smiles. “It’s intoxicating, having the power to control the game,” she narrates.

Later, she puts pressure on Georgia to stay on the straight and narrow. “I’m glad you changed, Mom. Make sure it sticks,” she says. “Don’t make me regret setting you free.”

While her and Georgia are on solid ground, she and Austin are in a darker place. As the finale draws to a close, he lashes out at her, clearly scarred by having to falsely implicate his father, no matter how complicated their relationship.

“It’s impossible to go through things unscathed,” Ginny narrates. “But the question is: Can you control how you change? Are you in control at all?”

“No one in the Miller family will be the same after this season,” showrunner Sarah Glinski told Entertainment Weekly in a season 3 postmortem. “We talk about Georgia changing, but Ginny has changed, Austin has changed, and there’s no going back.

Is Marcus going to be okay?

It was a turbulent season for Marcus (Felix Mallard) after he and Ginny’s split last season. By the end of season 3, the two are back together, but he’s still struggling with his mental health.

His depression resulted in his grades slipping as he began drinking heavily. To begin the next school year as a junior, he’ll need to attend summer school. In the finale, however, he suffers a breakdown after a night of heavy drinking and his family decides he needs to attend a rehab clinic.

On the drive to rehab, however, he finds a poem Ginny wrote about him in his bag. It brings a tear to his eye, helping to assure him that she’ll be waiting for him once he’s out.

Do Georgia and Paul break up?

Yes, Georgia and Paul split this season as the blowback from the trial — and Paul’s support of Proposition 38, disastrous for small businesses — imperiled his mayoral career. Her lying to him about being pregnant didn’t help, either.

He pounds the final nail into their relationship during a heated argument in the finale. “You never loved me. You wanted to be married to the mayor. You just used me,” he spits. “You turned me into the worst possible version of myself, because you are insidious and you poison good things.”

She accepts his anger, but leaves him with a pointed reminder: “I didn’t make you anything that wasn’t in there already.”

Does Georgia end up with Joe?

Kind of? Joe confronts her in the finale, accusing her of killing Tom. She readily admits that, yes, she did. She also informs him that she killed her last husband, too, and that she gets it if he doesn’t want anything to do with her. Shockingly, he does, and the pair lock lips.

But it’s not so simple. She “needs to settle down a minute” after “jumping from guy to guy,” if only for the sake of her family.

“What she gets from Joe, she’s not going to crave until she’s her most authentic self and she hasn’t been there yet,” series creator Sarah Lampert told EW. “But Joe doesn’t care about image. Joe doesn’t care what people think about him, truly at all. So I think the things that Georgia really values deep in her core, which is loyalty and family, those are Joe’s core also.”

Is Georgia pregnant?

Earlier in the season, Georgia lied to Paul about being pregnant. In the final moments of the season, though, it’s implied that, no, Georgia really is pregnant. She only drinks milk when she’s pregnant, after all, the season ends with her chugging a jug.

So, who’s the father? She recently slept with both Paul and Joe.

Speaking with EW, Lampert and Glinski revealed that an answer is forthcoming. “What’s so fun about working with such talented writers is how Glinski and I entered this season is we were like, ‘Okay, we know whose baby it is. Change our mind.’ Then we spent a whole day with the writers, and it was contentious,” said Lampert. “There was a debate over how the storylines could go based on whose baby it was and all that. But no, we’ve landed on whose baby it is. I’ll say that.

How does the season 3 finale set up Georgia & Ginny season 4?

Georgia & Ginny season 4 is officially on the way, and the season 3 finale teased what’s to come with several specters from Georgia’s past resurfacing.

First, she received a call from her father, Shane, currently imprisoned in New Mexico. “I’ve wanted to talk to you for so long, and if i can find you anyone can,” he warns, calling Georgia by her birth name, Mary. “Your mom, your stepdad. Mary, you have to be careful.”

Later, we catch a brief glimpse of her mother and stepfather driving past her house. When asked about their appearance, Lampert said the theme of season 4 is “cycles and origins,” adding that it will “[grapple] with Georgia’s past.”

Where can I watch Ginny & Georgia?

Lies, murder, and major mommy issues — just another day in the fictional town of Wellsbury, Mass. Netflix’s binge-worthy hit Ginny & Georgia just wrapped up its third season, and true to form, it left audiences reeling.

The series follows Ginny (Antonia Gentry), a smart and angsty teen, and her fiercely protective mom, Georgia (Brianne Howey), as they try to make a fresh start in a cozy town while outrunning Georgia’s criminal past.

Season 3 wasted no time, picking up right where season 2 left off — with Georgia’s arrest for murder. There are more jaw-dropping twists and emotional moments than ever, and while it delivered plenty of surprises, there’s still a whole lot left simmering beneath the surface.

That said, when will we get to watch Ginny & Georgia season 4? Here’s everything we know so far, from a release date to plot details.

Will there be a season 4 of Ginny & Georgia?

Great news, peaches: The chaos in Wellsbury is far from over. Way back in May 2023, Netflix gave Ginny & Georgia a double renewal, picking up the beloved series for seasons 3 and 4.

Sarah Glinski was also named the new showrunner, taking over from Debra J. Fisher, who led the first two seasons, per Deadline.

What happened in Ginny & Georgia season 3?

The stakes are sky-high in season 3 of Ginny & Georgia, as Georgia is on trial and faces the very real possibility of going to prison for murdering Tom (Vincent Legault). But come on, did anyone really think Georgia would end up behind bars? (Besides the series’ writers, of course.)

Just when it looks as if Georgia will leave the courtroom in cuffs, her kids pull off the unthinkable. Ginny persuades her younger brother, Austin (Diesel La Torraca), to lie under oath and testify that he saw his father, Gil (Aaron Ashmore), commit the crime. It’s a risky move that saves Georgia from spending time in jail.

However, Georgia becoming a free woman doesn’t mean everything is back to normal. In the final moments of season 3, fans discover that she’s pregnant. Given that she recently slept with both her ex, Paul (Scott Porter), and will-they-won’t-they lover Joe (Raymond Ablack), the baby-daddy mystery is bound to make things messy.

Meanwhile, season 3 also turns its attention to Marcus (Felix Mallard) and Max’s (Sara Waisglass) stories. Marcus and Ginny officially get back together in the finale, but he’s still struggling with his mental health and ends up in rehab after hitting rock bottom.

Max is left trying to hold everything (and everyone) together while juggling way more than she lets on. “We put the burden of Marcus onto Max, and we see how much she does deeply care about everyone in her life,” Lampert explained to Entertainment Weekly in a season 3 postmortem.

Glinski added, “She has such a responsibility to fix things and to make sure everyone she loves is okay, and she takes that burden on every single day, even if people don’t appreciate it.”

What will Ginny & Georgia season 4 be about?

While season 3 has already dropped and delivered its fair share of ridiculous drama, fans shouldn’t get too cozy because season 4 is coming in hot with even more secrets, scandals, and explosive revelations.

“What we can say about season 4 is that the theme is cycles and origins,” series creator Sarah Lampert told EW. “So that kind of answers your question a little in the sense that we’ll be grappling with Georgia’s past, but I won’t go into specifics.”

Glinski added, “No one in the Miller family will be the same after this season. We talk about Georgia changing, but Ginny has changed, Austin has changed, and there’s no going back.”

And yes, before you ask, we will find out who the father is.

“There was a debate over how the storylines could go based on whose baby it was and all that,” says Lampert. “But no, we’ve landed on whose baby it is. I’ll say that.”

The duo elaborated on Austin’s character in conversation with TheWrap, saying that season 4 will explore the aftermath of his decision to frame his father in the season 3 finale.

Lampert hints that the boy’s journey could even take some dark or unexpected turns. “For Austin, his gene pool is Georgia and Gil, so if we’re talking nature versus nurture, where his character grows could potentially take a very interesting space, based on a) everything he’s been through, and b) who his parents are,” she said.

Plus, we can’t forget the phone call Georgia received from her incarcerated father in the finale. He warned her that if he could track her down from prison, anyone could. Later, we see Georgia’s mom and stepfather cruise past her house. All signs point to some problematic visitors heading to Wellsbury in season 4.

When is Ginny & Georgia season 4 coming out?

We hate to be the bearer of bad news, but a release date for season 4 of Ginny & Georgia has not been announced yet. However, the team that brings the show to life behind the scenes is already cooking up more twists and turns.

In February 2025, several months before season 3 was released, the official Ginny & Georgia Instagram account shared a sneak peek of the writers hard at work on a group Zoom call.

“First day of the season 4 writer’s room!!!” reads the caption. “Based on today alone, season 4 is going to be a RIDE.”

Speaking to EW in June, Lampert and Glinski confirmed that the writers’ room is going strong. The former added that her favorite part so far is having a pack made up entirely of returning scribes.

“Everyone in the room has worked on the show a prior season,” she said, adding, “So the group really knows the gang.”

The Parent Trap star Elaine Hendrix might happily let another lizard crawl around on her face, thank you very much!

In a new interview about her upcoming Freakier Friday cameo opposite fellow Parent Trap star Lindsay Lohan, Hendrix tells Entertainment Weekly she’s willing to shoot a sequel to Disney’s 1998 cinematic remake of the 1961 original — even if it might be difficult for her antagonistic character, Meredith Blake, to find a way back into the story.

“There are always rumors. I don’t know where they come from. I think it’s mostly [from] fans who would love to see that,” Hendrix says when asked about plans for a potential continuation to the film, which saw Lohan play dual roles as twins Hallie and Annie as they prepared for their father’s (Dennis Quaid) unfavorable marriage to Meredith.

Hendrix confirms that she’s yet to hear “anything official” about a second film, and questions, “How would you bring Meredith Blake back into the sequel?” after the girls’ dad broke up with her during the bombastic finale.

“But, I’d be so crushed if she wasn’t part of a sequel,” Hendrix admits, adding that she’d “hands down, in the right situation” join a sequel if the studio asked.

“Clearly there are so many sequels that should have never been made, and I’m not going to name names or titles,” she jokes. “Freakier Friday is definitely not one of them. Our Parent Trap wasn’t a sequel — it was reboot, and definitely should’ve been made. So, yeah, I’d totally be into it. I loved it, that was a great experience from A to Z.”

Of her reunion with Lohan in Freakier Friday, which also stars Jamie Lee Curtis, Hendrix says she’s now in closer contact with Lohan than she ever was before, as she tells EW she didn’t speak much with the child star after The Parent Trap due to a difference in age.

“She lives on the other side of the world and has a family and is busy. We both have full lives, but particularly through social media and texting, we’re staying in touch, which is quite lovely,” Hendrix says. “I’m so happy for her and where she is in her life. It’s nice, in these new chapters of our lives, to be in contact.”

Freakier Friday is in theaters on Aug. 8.

Queer history never dies, it is only born again.

Twenty years after the groundbreaking premiere of Noah’s Arc, the crew is back for Noah’s Arc: The Movie — the first new chapter in the beloved franchise since the 2020 reunion special Noah’s Arc: The ‘Rona Chronicles.

A lot has changed in the two decades since audiences first met the core four of Noah’s Arc – so titled after Noah (Darryl Stephens) and his A.R.C. – Alex (Rodney Chester), Ricky (Christian Vincent), and Chance (Doug Spearman) – four queer Black best friends living and looking for their Mr. Rights (including Jensen Atwood and Wilson Cruz) in Los Angeles.

In the trailer for Noah’s Arc: The Movie, which Entertainment Weekly can exclusively reveal below, the guys have traded hookup culture and other youthful pursuits for playful banter about “daddies” and, in fact, actual fatherhood.

“One of the things that scared me most about being gay was missing out on being a dad,” Atwood’s Wade says in the trailer’s opening seconds. Re-establishing the series’ trademark trade-off between heartfelt pathos and irreverent humor, Wade’s partner and series anchor Noah replies, “Well, you’ll always be my daddy.”

After the show — Logo’s first scripted series — ended in 2006 with a cliffhanger, 2008’s Noah’s Arc: Jumping the Broom showed Noah and Wade finally tie the knot in an intimate ceremony held on Martha’s Vineyard. Now, the happy couple is still going strong – strong enough to grow their family.

But Noah and Wade have their work cut out for them as they prepare to welcome twins, while Noah is offered a dream job just as he’s about to take on the role of stay-at-home parent.

“Hey Siri, how do I stop a baby crying!” Noah cries out in panic in one scene previewed in the trailer.

Others tease exciting new additions to the Noah’s Arc family, including nanny candidate Jasmine Guy (“What will you do when the babies wake up at 2 o’clock in the morning?” she asks Noah, who replies, “Make my way to the top of the stairs and scream for the governess!”)

“Bringing Noah’s Arc back feels like a family reunion – and trust me, we’ve got plenty of stories left to tell,” original series creator Patrik-Ian Polk, who returned to executive produce, direct, and write Noah’s Arc: The Movie, tells EW in a statement. “Through all these years, the fans have never stopped asking for more. And Noah’s Arc: The Movie picks up right where we left off – but with more depth, more drama and a whole lot of heart.”

Polk continues, “I know our diehard fans will be delighted, but newcomers are invited to the party as well. You don’t have to be familiar with the series to get into this new installment- it works as a standalone film. Creating this project was a labor of love, a celebration of how far we’ve come and where these beloved characters are headed next.”

This new installment in the Noah’s Arc saga sees the return of original series stars Stephens, Atwood, Chester, Spearman, Vincent, and Cruz. Guest stars include Guy, TS Madison, RuPaul’s Drag Race alum Kennedy Davenport, Eva Marcille, TC Carson, Gregory Kieth, Jonathan Julian White, K’Hood, Mariyea, Jasun Jabbar, and Dynisty St. James.

Noah’s Arc: The Movie premieres June 20 on Paramount+ for subscribers of the Paramount+ with Showtime plan before its on-air debut the same day at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
