The Good Girls cast made the show a fan favorite with their funny, tense and emotional performances. The series ended in 2021, but fans still love talking about the actors and their new projects in 2024-2025. Let’s meet the main cast and see what they’re up to today.

What Was Good Girls About?

Good Girls was a TV show that aired from 2018 to 2021. It followed three moms -Beth, Ruby and Annie- who turned to crime to solve their money problems. They started by robbing a grocery store but ended up tangled with a gang leader named Rio. The mix of comedy, drama and suspense kept viewers hooked for four seasons.

She also joined the cast of a comedy series, Office Wars, set to release in late 2025.
