The cast is headed by Antonia Gentry as the 15-year-old Ginny Miller. Her free-spirited 30-year-old mother Georgia Miller is played by Brianne Howey, who also appeared in The CW's Batwoman and Fox's The Passage TV series.
Atlas of Wonders has exclusive information about the filming locations of Ginny and Georgia. Welcome to Wellsbury and to the best guide to the locations of the series that you can find.
Wellsbury, Massachusetts
“We are like the Gilmore Girls, but with bigger boobs” - Georgina, her daughter Ginny, and her son Austin leave Texas behind for a fresh start in Wellsbury.
The gas station of the first episode is the EZ Lube Automobile Service located in Scarborough, just outside of Toronto.
The Ginny and Georgia House
The peculiar family arrives at its new magnificent home in Wellsbury. The results of our sleuthing revealed that the house is located at 46 Baby Point Crescent in the Parkdale-High Park district in York, Toronto.
This is a private residence, off-market, and not for sale. If you are visiting, please be considerate to the owners of the property.

Built in 1928 in Colonial Revival style, the house is nestled within the picturesque and exclusive Baby Point neighborhood.
Built mostly in the 1920s and 1930s, Baby Point homes are among the prettiest in Toronto.
The area is surrounded by ravine and parkland, overlooking the Humber River.
Marcus and Ellen's home (played by Felix Mallard and Jennifer Robertson respectively) is located across the street at number 45.
This two-and-a-half-story English cottage was built in 1923 in the Tudor Revival style.

Wellsbury High School is located in the Rustic neighborhood of Toronto.
Now in disuse, the Nelson A. Boylen Collegiate Institute was a secondary school facility from 1966 to 2016.
The yellow sculpture was added to the grounds of the school just for the show.

A lot of locations of the town of Wellsbury were filmed in and around the Victoria Hall in downtown Cobourg, doubling as the town hall.
Cobourg is a lovely town bordering Lake Ontario, about 60 miles (96 kilometers) east of Toronto.
The building is a grandiose concert hall built in 1856, also hosting an art gallery and an old courtroom now used as the Council chamber.

Several local outlets, including Globalnews.ca and Toronto.com, reported on the filming locations in Cobourg.
The iconic Blue Farm Café owned by local farmer Joe (played by Raymond Ablack) is El Camino, aka The El, located at 74 King Street West.
This is a Spanish restaurant, so we are not sure if you will find the outrageous hummus on its menu.

The GWL Realty (Cynthia's office) and the Green Gardens are located across the street from the Blue Farm Café.
The crew modified several storefronts and replaced Canadian flags and mailboxes with American ones for the series.
The Bank of Montreal at 62 King Street doubled as Wellsbury Savings and Loan from the ninth episode.
Both the "Pretty Woman" moment and the shop from the second episode were filmed at Audrey's In Town Fashion women's clothing store at 19 King Street West.

Georgia takes her kids to the bowling club where Mayor Paul Randolph (played by Scott Porter) “happens to be there”.
This scene was filmed at the Cobourg Lawn Bowling Club in Victoria Park.

Where is Bankler Elementary School filmed? It looks quite similar to my school, but I’m unsure.

The elementary school (inside) looks like Kensington Community School on College Street in Toronto.

It is sad to say that I do the same thing as Ginny. The reason she's in therapy, but it's also sad to say that I would date Marcus Baker.
