There’s an old saying that well-behaved women rarely make history, and Netflix helped prove this further when they started streaming NBC show Good Girls.
The show follows three mothers who turn to a life of crime out of desperation… but eventually get into the swing of things.
The third season of Good Girls is coming to Netflix today, Sunday 26 July, so let’s refresh our memories on what happened at the end of season two, and take a look at who’s coming back for more trouble in season three…
Who is in the Good Girls cast for season 3?
Christina Hendricks as Beth Boland
After finding out her husband had strayed, ruined their finances and they risked losing everything, Beth, a mother of four, convinced her two friends to hold up a supermarket and make off with the money.
Beth over the last couple of seasons has developed a taste for the criminal lifestyle, though, ending up in an entanglement with Rio, a shady crook.
Christina Hendricks, 45, plays Beth, and she will be familiar to viewers after appearing as Joan Holloway in Mad Men.
Throughout her career, Hendricks has received six Emmy nominations, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, and two Critics’ Choice Awards for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Retta as Ruby Hill
Ruby is Beth’s best friend, a waitress who has struggled for years trying to pay for her daughter Sara’s kidney disease and medical treatments.
Protecting her daughter was her initial reason for getting involved in the crimes, but now she struggles with her loyalty to Beth and her husband, a police officer who has come under scrutiny for helping hide evidence that would compromise his wife.
Ruby is played by 50-year-old comedian Retta, who is best known for playing the role of ‘Treat Yo’self’ pioneer Donna on Parks and Recreation.
Mae Whitman as Annie Marks
Annie is Beth’s cool, messy younger sister. Annie is a young mother to Sadie – who later became Ben after confirming his preferred identity as a boy – having had him as a teenager.
Annie works at the supermarket which was the site of their first crime.
Mae Whitman has starred in several hit shows and films, including The Perks of Being a Wallflower, Parenthood and The Duff.
Manny Montana as Rio
Rio is the smouldering bad boy who forms a complicated bond with the Good Girls.
He is high ranking criminal with money laundering business. The women accidentally venture into his territory and end up working to pay him back.
But Beth forms a complicated, sometimes steamy, relationship with him instead. At the end of season two, Rio is shot by Beth.
Rio is played by Manny Montana whose previous credits include US shows Graceland and Rosewood.
Reno Wilson as Stanley Hill
Stanley is Ruby’s husband. He starts out as a mall cop but becomes a real cop, which is a dream job for him.
However, things get murky as he must risk his career to protect his wife from being found out for her crimes.
Stanley is played by Reno Wilson, whose previous credits include Mike & Molly, voiceovers for the Transformers movies and The Cosby Show.
Matthew Lillard as Dean Boland
Beth’s cheating car salesman husband Dean Boland, who made bad decisions with their money – risking their entire livelihood – is played by Matthew Lillard.
Lillard is known for roles including Shaggy in the live action Scooby-Doo movies and the original Scream movie.
How did Good Girls season 2 end?
The main plotlines which fans will be keen to revisit with season three include whether Rio will survive after being shot by Beth.
Rio kidnapped both Beth and FBI Agent Turner, instructing Beth to get rid of the man pursuing them once and for all. Refusing to go that far, Beth turned the gun on her complicated-criminal bae, shooting him several times.
Other cliffhangers left from season two include the pressure intensifying for Ruby and Stanley, who are close to being discovered as being involved in the crimes and subsequently getting rid of evidence to protect themselves.
Meanwhile, Annie wants to get closer to her new boyfriend Noah, but is struggling to understand his true intentions as it was revealed he actually works alongside FBI Agent Turner.
