Is Ginny and Georgia a Gilmore Girls' spin-off?

No. Officially, Ginny and Georgia is not a Gilmore Girls' spin-off. However, because of the relatable young mother and teenage daughter plotline, many viewers thought the same about the new web series. Apart from the mother-daughter angle, the Ginny and Georgia series has many differences as well. While each season of Gilmore Girls spanned 22 episodes, Ginny and Georgia's first season had aired 10 episodes only. On the other hand, while Gilmore Girls was a comedy-drama series, Ginny and Georgia delve into the crime genre as well. Another difference in the screenplay is that Ginny, the daughter is biracial, with her mother being white and father being black. 

Actor Brianne Howey plays the role of mother Georgia alongside Antonia Gentry as her daughter Ginny. The trailer shows the duo moving from city to city, finally reaching Boston suburb Wellsbury, Massachusetts. The trailer then takes the viewers into the high school life of Ginny while her mother has some connection to a dark past, keeping it a secret from everyone.
