Ginny & Georgia Season 3 called out for obvious age jump; fans can't ignore Austin's sudden glow-up: 'That's not a 9-year-old'
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 dropped on Netflix on June 5, and fans were excited to jump back into the drama-filled lives of Georgia, Ginny, and little Austin. The new season starts exactly where Season 2 left off, with Georgia being arrested for murder in front of her kids. But while the new season is being praised for its in-depth storyline and character development, one glaring mistake has garnered significant backlash. Fans noticed that in season 3, Austin suddenly looks way older, and the show doesn't mention any time jump at all.
Austin's growth spurt is hard to ignore in Ginny & Georgia season 3
Austin is supposed to be nine years old in the story, but Diesel La Torraca, the actor who plays him, is now 14 in real life. Since there's no time skip in the show, his sudden transformation is pretty obvious on screen. Diesel even acknowledged this in interviews, saying the team used tricks like slouching, lowering his voice, and standing on apple boxes to make him look younger. Still, viewers could instantly tell that the young kid from previous seasons is now clearly a teen.
Fans are having a field day with the age jump.
The casting mismatch didn't go unnoticed. Fans quickly took to social media to react to the change, and many of the posts have been hilariously spot-on. Some fans joked that Austin now looks old enough to have kids of his own, while others compared the situation to sitcoms where characters age overnight.
One user wrote, "I can finally say that #GinnyandGeorgia s3 is SO good. The work Brianne Howey is doing is Emmy-worthy. Felix Mallard is another standout. Show has leveled UP. Loved it start to finish (but we have to time jump eventually because Austin is about to be a 5th-grade senior citizen)".

Another added, "Ginny and Georgia season 3 is kind of killing me. Like, who thought it would be a good idea to have a show take place in the same year but span over 3 seasons?" Austin's voice is actually killing me. Like, that's a middle schooler, not a 9-year-old."

A third frustrated fan mentioned, "Netflix needs to just start cancelling shows if they're going to take literal years to start filming a new season, lmfaoooo. The time jump from season 2 to 3 of Ginny & Georgia was literally supposed to be like 3 days. Austin went from a 9-year-old to a 15-year-old in a WEEKEND?"

"Help, I can't watch season 3 of Ginny and Georgia because of the obvious puberty Austin is going through. He's trying to talk in a high-pitched voice, but it's not working," a fourth fan highlighted.
Help i can't watch season 3 of ginny and georgia cause of the obvious puberty austin is going through 😭😂 hes trying to talk in a high pitched voice but it's not working
Diesel La Torraca didn't shy away from the chatter about his glow-up. He posted a playful TikTok with co-star Connor Laidman, poking fun at how much both of them had grown since their last scenes. 'Y'all think I grew up,' he joked in the caption, showing just how noticeable the changes were for both Austin and Zach.
About Ginny and Georgia
The series first launched in 2021 and centres on Georgia, a young mom trying to start over with her two kids in the quiet town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts. The main cast includes Brianne Howey, Antonia Gentry, Diesel La Torraca, Felix Mallard, Sara Waisglass, Scott Porter, and Raymond Ablack.
Season 3 took longer than expected to arrive. Although Season 2 wrapped filming in early 2022, the next chapter was delayed due to the writers' and actors' strikes. Production didn't resume until much later, making the return feel even more overdue for longtime fans.

Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan is all set to make his directorial debut with his maiden series, The Ba***ds of Bollywood. It will release on Netflix, in the second half of 2025. The first review of the show by Netflix's CEO Ted Sarandos is out now. Appearing on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Ted said, 'It (The Ba***ds of Bollywood) is very fun. I've watched the first two episodes so far. It's very funny. I think people in India and people outside of India know nothing about the inner workings of Bollywood. So it's a really fun world. He's (Aryan Khan) a very good director.' The Ba***ds of Bollywood is billed as a dark comedy, offering an insider's glimpse into the inner workings of the Hindi film industry. It is still in production. The show was announced at the Next during a Netflix event in Mumbai earlier this year. The Ba***ds of Bollywood was announced at the Next on Netflix event in Mumbai earlier this year. Shah Rukh Khan shot a promo for the show and also made an appearance at the launch event. At the event, he candidly revealed that before Aryan began working on his series, Shah Rukh had pitched him to Ted Sarandos for a job at Netflix. However, things didn't work out due to covid. 'He did his learning ki kaise kare (on how to do) direction and production USC (University of Southern California), America mein (in America). Bahut ajeeb sa coincidence hai. Covid nahi hota toh maine baat ki thi Ted se aur Bela se ki isko Netflix mein naukri de dein, wo assist kare kisi ko. But Covid ho gaya toh wo yahan par aa gaya (It's a very strange coincidence. If it wasn't for Covid, I'd talked to Ted and Bela ( Bela Bajaria, Netflix's Chief Content Officer) to give him a job at Netflix so that he can assist someone there. But Covid happened so he came back to India), and then he started writing,' said Shah Rukh at the event. The Ba***ds of Bollywood reportedly stars Lakshya and Sahher Bamba. It is said to have special cameo appearances by biggies like Salman Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Karan Johar, and Ranveer Singh. Bobby Deol and Mona Singh are also said to be a part of the show.

Anurag Kashyap Claps Back At Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos, Calls Him Dumb Over Sacred Games Remark
New Delhi: Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap has fired back at Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos following the latter's recent comments about Sacred Games. During an appearance on Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Sarandos spoke about Netflix India's evolution, mentioning popular titles like Sacred Games, Heeramandi, CID, and The Kapil Sharma Show. In the podcast, Sarandos expressed doubt over the decision to launch Netflix India's original programming with Sacred Games. He suggested that, in hindsight, something more "populist" might have been a better starting point. 'Our very first Indian original show was Sacred Games, and I thought, 'This is going to be great. People in India love movies. This is a TV show that feels as big as a movie — it has movie stars.' What was interesting was that it was very, very novel,' Sarandos said. 'But what I didn't understand was that we were introducing a brand-new kind of entertainment in a country the size of India.' He added: 'If I did it all over again, would I have done Sacred Games a couple of years later and started with something more populist instead? Maybe. We knew that India was going to be a slower journey to reach our goals. But it's a great prize at the end of the day. The addressable market is growing in India in the next couple of years, so it's exciting.' Following Sarandos's remarks, Kashyap responded sharply, calling the Netflix CEO 'dumb.' Sharing his response on Threads, Kashyap wrote: 'He should have started with Saas-Bahu... he would have done well. Which he is doing now :)) I always knew the tech guys are dumb when it comes to storytelling, but @tedsarandos being the definition of dumb — that I didn't know. Good to discover that. This explains everything now.' Sacred Games was Netflix India's first original series, directed by Anurag Kashyap and Vikramaditya Motwane. The show, which starred Saif Ali Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, gained massive popularity for its gritty storytelling and cinematic scale. However, the second season received mixed reviews, and the show was ultimately not renewed for a third.

Aryan Khan's The Ba***ds Of Bollywood First Review Out, Netflix CEO Calls It 'Very Funny'
Shah Rukh Khan's son, Aryan Khan, is all set to step into the entertainment industry, but behind the camera. He is helming a Netflix series titled The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The first review of Aryan's show is in, and it comes from none other than Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos. In his feedback for the first two episodes that he has watched, Sarandos praised Khan and called the series 'very funny". The Ba***ds of Bollywood is a high-stakes, humorous, and immersive story that follows an ambitious outsider and his friends as they navigate the unpredictable, larger-than-life world of Bollywood. In an interview on Zerodha co-founder Nikhil Kamath's WTF podcast, Ted Sarandos spoke about the Aryan Khan-helmed show. He said, 'It (The Ba***ds of Bollywood) is very fun. I've watched the first two episodes so far. It's very funny. I think people in India and people outside of India know nothing about the inner workings of Bollywood. So it's a really fun world. He's (Aryan Khan) a very good director." Earlier this year, Shah Rukh Khan introduced his son's series in his unique style – through a witty, theatrical, and effortlessly charming video that highlighted his dynamic chemistry with Aryan Khan. He shared the teaser on his social media, captioning it, 'Picture toh saalon se baaki hai, par show toh ab shuru hoga. Witness Aryan Khan's take on Bollywood… The BA***DS OF BOLLYWOOD, coming soon." The show's creators shared their enthusiasm for this daring new venture, highlighting how it explores the intense drama that lies beneath the surface of glamour. The show's team stated, 'Behind the glamour of Bollywood lies a world just as dramatic as the films themselves—and that is where our Netflix series begins. Through Aryan Khan's distinct lens, this show dives into the glitz, the chaos, the comedy, and the high stakes of an industry built on dreams. From the house of Red Chillies Entertainment, this collaboration with Netflix brings to life a story that is as bold and entertaining as the movies we have come to love. We can't wait for audiences to experience this with us." Produced under Red Chillies Entertainment, The Ba***ds Of Bollywood is backed by Gauri Khan, with Bonnie Jain and Akshat Verma serving as executive producers. Aryan Khan leads the project as creator and director, working alongside co-creators Bilal Siddiqi and Manav Chauhan, who have also contributed to the writing. The series is slated for release in 2025.
