Austin’s rapid aging in Ginny & Georgia season 3 sparks hilarious fan memes

Netflix viewers hilariously react to Austin's dramatic glow-up, joking the kid aged faster than the show’s timeline.

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.

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 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.”
