NBC hit Good Girls follows the lives of three suburban moms in Detroit who fall into a life of crime. Together, Beth (Christina Hendricks), Annie (Mae Whitman), and Ruby (Retta) run a money-laundering scheme. The group also reports to Rio (Manny Montana), a drug lord who routinely threatens to kill them.
Although they’re dysfunctional, some fans are rooting for Beth and Rio to become endgame. The theory from the viewers intensified after a random sex scene between the characters.
Beth and Rio in ‘Good Girls’ Season 4
Good Girls first premiered on NBC in Feb. 2018. During the pilot episode, Beth, Annie, and Ruby robbed a grocery store to make ends meet. What they discovered was that the grocery store was a business front ran by Rio. Ultimately, Rio puts the girls to work to make up for the money they stole.
As the season progresses, Beth and Rio become an unofficial team. Although Beth is married to Dean (Matthew Lillard), fans can’t help but notice the tension between her and Rio when they’re together. However, the pair never go too far with each other in season 1. Montana shared in 2020 that he enjoys keeping the viewers wondering what will happen between Rio and Beth.
“[There’s] a huge cat-and-mouse game between Rio and Beth, and I feel it makes really good TV because they are both one-upping each other,” he told The Neil Haley show ahead of the Season 3 premiere.”It’s weird because opposites attract. So they both dislike each other but love each other at the same time, so it just makes for a really complex relationship.”
Do Beth and Rio ever have sex?
After one seemingly long season of sexual tension, Beth and Rio get together in season 2 of Good Girls. In Season 2, Episode 4, “Pick Your Poison,” the twosome finally addressed the proverbial elephant in the room, per Bustle. While spending time together at a bar, Rio eventually directed Beth to the bathroom. The pair then have sex and continue their business as usual.
Rio and Beth haven’t slept together since season 2. Although they still manage to work together, Good Girls showrunner Jenna Bans said viewers would see more of their dynamic in later seasons.
“That chemistry is not something that can be snuffed out, so it brings up all of that good stuff, them working in such close proximity,” Bans told Entertainment Weekly.
“That’s something we’re really looking forward to jumping into in season 4 and something we’re sad we didn’t get to show the fans in season 3, but it’s all still coming,” she continued. “You don’t go from having the hottest sex of your life to wanting someone dead without conflicted feelings.”
Did ‘Good Girls’ get canceled?
On March 7, 2021, Good Girsl returned to NBC for season 4. It ran from March through July, airing 16 new episodes to bring the series total to 50.
In May 2021, NBC reportedly wanted to renew Good Girls for season 5. However, the network requested pay cuts for actors Christina Hendricks, Manny Montana, Mae Whitman, and Retta. The cast agreed, save for Montana, but NBC ultimately decided to cancel Good Girls in June 2021.
