Good Trouble's Holiday Special Tonight Is Actually a Flashback Special

Callie already looks over the Christmas holiday in this still from tonight’s Good Trouble holiday special.

Executive Producer Joanna Johnson opened up in an interview with TVLine, revealing that the special is actually a flashback and happens before Callie and Mariana had their fallout.

“We pick up at the end of Season 2A, and we flash back to Christmas, which happened between Episodes 15 and 16 in our timeline,” she explains. “So Callie and Mariana are still living in the Coterie, they’re still living together, they haven’t had their big blowout.”

She adds that they did this “because we didn’t want to have a cliffhanger…that we had to deal with in the Christmas episodes since they air in between Season A and Season B. So we did it as a flashback. That way, we could just have a Christmas show that wasn’t dealing with all these big ends that we need to tie up.”

Good Trouble‘s two-hour holiday special airs TONIGHT, December 16th @ 8PM ET/PT on Freeform.
