Ginny & Georgia‘s Diesel La Torraca surprised fans when he joked about several major deaths in season 4.
After La Torraca, 15, recently posted a TikTok, viewers took to the comments section asking for the insider scoop.
“Plspls give me some spoilers,” read a reply, to which La Torraca wrote in response, “Everyone dies.”
La Torraca, who plays Austin, was also asked how old his character would look when the Netflix series finally returned. When season 3 premiered in summer 2025, social media users questioned whether La Torraca had aged too much to play Ginny’s half-brother while pointing out the lengths the Netflix show went to conceal the young actor’s growth spurt.
Creator Sarah Lampert weighed in at the time on why the show wasn’t trying to be accurate with Austin’s age.
“Anyone who works on the show will tell you I am fastidious about the details. I am just specific with so many things. Then things like Diesel growing five years [older], I’m like, ‘Whatever.’ Because you can’t control it,” she exclusively told Us in June 2025. “We can’t recast. Diesel is Austin.”
Lampert made it clear there were no plans to bring in someone younger to play Austin.
“There are a few jokes we’re planning to make. We’re aware that he’s growing up and that helps us,” she said before acknowledging that viewers will have to “suspend their disbelief” because La Torraca “grew [up] and it’s a TV show.”
“You don’t want to do a big time leap because that really misses emotional storytelling. Because of that, the flashbacks already make no sense in terms of the timeline of the flashbacks,” she added. “Time is but a construct in Wellsbury.”
La Torraca, meanwhile, addressed the concerns while sharing the creative ways the show disguised his obvious growth spurt.
“Well, honestly, we kind of ignore it a little bit!” he told Teen Vogue that same month. “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 9. And that’s OK! In some shots, I did have to bend my knees a little bit to look a little shorter than [Antonia], or they got her an apple box a few times, but for the most part, we’ve kind of just kept the show running.”
La Torraca continued: “Playing a 9-year-old for six years when you are growing … I’ve grown with him, but I’ve also kind of departed from him because I was 8 when we started, now I’m 14. There are a lot of differences in the way that he would move and act and speak. I have to heighten my voice register, slouch a little bit [to] feel like I’m actually a shy, insecure 9-year-old.”
Ginny & Georgia is currently streaming on Netflix.
