Austin's rapid aging in Ginny & Georgia season 3 sparks hilarious fan memes
Netflix's Ginny & Georgia has returned for its much-anticipated third season, but fans are pointing out a notable inconsistency in the timeline — specifically, the sudden aging of a key character. i fear ginny and georgia is going to have to recast the little brother because this is deeply unserious — chelsea (@oliviarodrgo) June 5, 2025 The comedy-drama, which follows single mother Georgia and her teenage daughter Ginny, picks up immediately after the dramatic season two finale, where Georgia is arrested at her wedding. However, viewers quickly noticed that Georgia's young son, Austin, looks significantly older — despite the storyline continuing just two days later. austin look like he married with taxes to pay and two kids of his own #ginnyandgeorgia — dopamine chaser (@siyyaniverse) June 5, 2025 austin ginny and georgia in his 3rd grade class — 𝒶 ✮⋆ (@6WRcybrgrl) June 5, 2025 They really threw some glasses on this grown 14 year old kid and said go on Austin be 9/10 years old😂🤣 Here for it😂#ginnyandgeorgia #ginnyandgeorgiaS3 — RealityPale (@RealityPale) June 5, 2025 Austin is portrayed by Diesel La Torraca, who has played the character since the series debuted in 2021. Now 14, La Torraca has visibly matured in the two-and-a-half years since season two aired, leading to what many fans are calling a distracting continuity gap. Addressing the issue in an interview with Teen Vogue, La Torraca said: 'I've definitely gotten much taller, and I look much older in the face… Honestly, we kind of ignore it a little bit! It's kind of just like… there's a 14-year-old sitting at the table with Harry Potter glasses on that's supposed to be nine. And that's okay!' Fans on X (formerly Twitter) have shared memes and jokes about the sudden shift. One post read: 'We gotta time jump eventually because Austin is about to be a 5th grade senior citizen.' Another quipped, 'They need to stop with these long breaks between seasons because it has made season 3 so inauthentic.'

'Ginny & Georgia' Season 4 confirmed by Netflix: Release date, plot and cast updates
Netflix has confirmed that Ginny & Georgia will return for Season 4, continuing the story of the complex mother-daughter duo. Following the June 2025 release of Season 3, fans were left with unresolved questions, including the fate of Georgia's baby, the future of Ginny and Marcus, and whether Georgia will face justice for Tom's death. Series creator Sarah Lampert said, 'I want(ed) people to finish the season and stand up as if they just got off a ride.' She described Season 3 as the most ambitious yet, emphasising that the drama is driven by the emotional truths of its central characters. 'We care about these characters, they are messy and complicated and real.' Lampert and showrunner Sarah Glinski revealed that Season 4's official theme is 'Cycles and Origins.' Lampert added, 'We really worked in Season 3 on breaking Georgia's soul with the option of then trying to rebuild her in Season 4.' Although no release date has been announced, Lampert confirmed that work has begun in the writers' room. If the show maintains its biennial schedule, a release in the first half of 2027 is likely. Cast for Season 4 has not been confirmed, but key players from previous seasons are expected to return, including Brianne Howey, Antonia Gentry, Diesel La Torraca, and Scott Porter. Seasons 1,2, and 3 of Ginny & Georgia are now streaming on Netflix.

Predator Killer of Killers expands franchise with time-traveling animated carnage
Dan Trachtenberg, known for Prey, returns to the Predator franchise with Killer of Killers, a blood-soaked animated anthology spanning centuries. Directed by Trachtenberg and Joshua Wassung, and written by Micho Robert Rutare, the R-rated film unfolds across three time periods, blending stylized action with heavy doses of gore. Part of a growing trend to animate mature franchises, Killer of Killers joins the ranks of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim, Netflix's Terminator Zero, and Disney's Star Wars: Visions. These projects aim to captivate adult audiences with bold storytelling and graphic visual styles. This latest Predator installment leans into the violence while using animation to stylize its brutality, making the carnage palatable while still intense. The first chapter introduces Ursa (Lindsay LaVanchy), a 9th-century Viking warrior haunted by trauma. When a Predator arrives, she shifts from vengeance to survival, protecting her son Anders (Damien Haas) in a battle of brawn and cunning. The second story, set in 17th-century Japan, follows two estranged samurai brothers whose long-standing feud is interrupted by a new enemy—one that forces them to put their blades and grievances to use together. Here, green Predator blood and elegant choreography heighten the tension. The final section brings viewers to World War II, where Torres (Rick Gonzalez), a Latino mechanic with pilot dreams, takes flight in a thrilling aerial showdown after a Predator wipes out his squadron. The trio ultimately joins forces for a gladiator-style final act, blending weapons and strategies from their respective eras. As with Prey, Trachtenberg's latest effort emphasizes gender and racial diversity while pushing genre boundaries.
