Filming of a Netflix series will start in Cobourg on August 26!

It’s for a new series called “Ginny & Georgia” and the Town of Cobourg is advising resident that filming will be taking place in various locations across town from August 26 to the 28 and will include approximately 100 actors and 40 production trucks.

The new Netflix show is a 10-episode series about a mother-daughter coming of age, featuring Antonia Gentry and Brianne Howy (from ‘The Passage’) who will play the daughter and mother.

“Ginny & Georgia” centers on Ginny Miller, a 15-year-old who often feels more mature than her 30-year-old mother Georgia Miller.

After years on the run, Georgia wants to put down roots in the charming New England town of Wellsbury, Massachusetts and give her family a normal life.

For Ginny, that means navigating a prestigious school, rising popularity and complicated love interests.

The production company ‘G2G Series Inc.’ visits Cobourg next week to film the mother and daughter driving through their new town.

American flags will replace the Canadian flags flying from Victoria Hall and American mailboxes will be placed on downtown Cobourg sidewalks.

Filming locations include:

Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club (177 Church Street)

St. Peter’s Anglican Church (240 College Street)

Downtown Cobourg streets

Victoria Park

Audrey’s In Town Fashions (19 King Street West)

El Camino (74 King Street West)
