‘Ginny & Georgia’ Star Reacts to Austin’s Growth Spurt in Season 3

The third season of Ginny & Georgia has begun streaming on Netflix and Georgia’s (Brianne Howey) trial for the murder of Tom Fuller (Vincent Legault) serves as the main draw. Key to how the course of events travel is Diesel La Torraca who plays Austin, Georgia’s son in the Netflix series. The character is the nine-year-old little brother to Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and son of Georgia, and while he might have remained the same age throughout the show’s three seasons, Torraca has visibly grown in that time. Now aged 14, the actor’s contrasting age with his character has been the subject of online jokes. However, La Torraca has since taken them in good faith.

Speaking to Screen Rant, the actor revealed that he wasn’t aware of how the coming season might deal with Austin’s age. La Torraca does reveal that the upcoming episodes should pick up after the summer when Ginny returns from Korea. This suggest tha Austin would have grown some in that time. “Well, I definitely can try to continue with what we’ve been going with,” La Torraca says. “Ginny goes to Korea, and we skip the Summer. How he grows in that summer? I’m not too sure yet, we’ll just have to wait and see. But if push does come to shove, and he is still a little bubba, I can try my best to look like a 9-year-old! He should actually be 10, technically.”

‘Ginny & Georgia’ Season 4 Could Feature A Rebellious Austin

Much transpired during the third season of Ginny & Georgia and central to it was Austin. The young child has endured more than his fair share in the show’s prior two seasons, and Season 3 just compounded it. Austin has to lie to save his mother, while also accusing his father, Gil (Aaron Ashmore), at Ginny’s behest. The young child will have his own share of emotional scars to contend with and Season 4 seems like one when he’d have to grow up fast. La Torraca teases Austin’s change in the coming season, saying:

“I think it would be interesting to see him dealing with the events that happened in season 3. Maybe he’ll react in a rebellious way. I wouldn’t mind seeing him do a few bad things; that would really be cool. Delving into his character more, given his experience with many of these traumatic things, I feel it wouldn’t be so out of the blue to see him do something a little naughty.”

The events in the final scenes of Ginny & Georgia does set up Austin for some rebellion and rightly so. Having yelled at Ginny and forced her out of his room, for manipulating him into falsely accusing Gil, the Millers will have to find some way to help Austin cope with his guilt. Ginny & Georgia creator Sarah Lampert spoke previously about the young character’s trajectory going forward:

“It matches up nicely with this idea that before it’s really been Ginny and Georgia, and Austin’s kind of been a bit of a tagalong because he’s a child. For the first time, and we see it really this season and especially in Episode 10, he starts to have a real point of view, and he starts to really enter the family dynamic in a new way.”

Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
