Netflix viewers are surprised about one cast member
Ginny and Georgia fans have been left surprised by one of the cast members on the Netflix series in a big departure from their onscreen character.
Brianne Howey, who plays Southern belle Georgia in the drama, has left many viewers speechless in a recent interview when she spoke with her real-life accent.
The 36-year-old actress hails from California and sounds very different to her on-screen alter-ego, who was born in Birmingham, Alabama and speaks with a strong Southern accent.
Appearing recently on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, she teased the third season but many people were amazed by her real accent.
One person posted on YouTube: “I keep forgetting she doesn’t actually have a southern accent like in the show.”
A second said: “First time hearing her off the show , she doesnt have a texan accent … now thats a good actress [sic].”

A third commented: “Oh my! I thought she really had that Southern accent in real life. She’s really good!!”
“I just can’t seem to forget the fact that she’s not actually Georgia, like I’m constantly waiting for the southern accent to slip in she’s an amazing actor,” another added.
Someone else echoed: “Never heard her without the accent. Always amazes me how ppl can turn an accent on & off. Just like the guy from All American.”
Yet another person said: “this is the first time i heard her without that southern accent and it threw me off so bad [sic].”
Along with her role in Ginny & Georgia, Howey is known for her work in Fox’s The Exorcist, The Passage and season one of The CW’s Batwoman.

Most recently, she appeared in the Netflix series Kinda Pregnant with Amy Schumer and used her real-life accent.
Howey isn’t the only cast member who has left fans surprised, Felix Mallard who plays Marcus Baker is in fact Australian rather than American with people equally as shocked when they hear his real accent.
Season three of Ginny & Georgia has been a huge hit since it landed last week, occupying the top spot on Netflix in many countries across the world.
The new series sees most of the main cast coming back for another twisty season and Georgia facing the prospect of time behind bars for the murder of Tom Fuller (Vincent Legault).

But thanks to her daughter Ginny (Antonia Gentry) and her scheming, Georgia manages to evade jail and return to cause her usual chaos in Wellsbury, Massachusetts.
Season four of the comedy-drama is already the works after Netflix previously gave Ginny & Georgia are double renewal after season two.
Howey has already suggested Georgia will be trying to turn over a new leaf after her dodgy dealings have caused her children to start following a similar path.
However, Georgia’s past is going to catch up with her after her father Shane Reilly contacted her in the season three finale to warn her about her mother and stepfather.
Thrown into the mix, Georgia was confirmed to be pregnant at the end of the season, which will added another layer of complexity.
“Sarah has some incredible things planned, and I can’t wait to see more about the circumstances that shaped Georgia,” Howey teased to Tudum.
