You Can Spot These Familiar Canadian Faces In Netflix's New Show ‘Ginny & Georgia’

They appear in Schitt's Creek & Degrassi. 📺
Staff Writer

After binging season one of Netflix's Ginny & Georgia, you might have recognized a lot of familiar faces. Not only was it filmed in Ontario, but it has a long list of Canadian actors too.

Several of the stars might give you flashbacks to Degrassi. But you'll also spot actors from Canadian sitcom Kim's Convenience and the award-winning comedy Schitt's Creek.

Perhaps the most surprising is seeing The Boys Black Noir ditch his mask to play Ginny's dad Zion.
