‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ Renewed for Season 2 at Netflix

Netflix has ordered a second season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, with Wednesday star Emma Myers returning as a teenage gumshoe who gets to the bottom of murder cases in a small English village.

The adaptation of Holly Jackson’s popular YA novel will see another six episodes filmed in 2025 in the U.K. for season two, with Zain Iqbal also returning as Ravi Singh.

According to a synopsis from Netflix, the second season will see Pippa Fitz-Amobi (Myers), after solving the Andie Bell case, having to fix the fallout and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, key witness Jamie Reynolds suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him and struggling with the idea of justice.

The return of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will bow on Netflix globally, excluding U.K./Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. The series will air in the U.K. and Ireland on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.

Produced by Moonage Pictures (The Gentlemen, The Famous Five, Bodies) for BBC Three, the series is a co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo. The first season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder was adapted for the screen by Poppy Cogan.

The series “fits squarely into a well-trod, but deservedly beloved tradition of mysteries about meddling teenage gumshoes, with traces of everything from Nancy Drew to Harriet the Spy to Veronica Mars, if you’re looking for American antecedents. Or, with its small village British setting, maybe it’s more Miss Teen Marple?” wrote THR‘s Chief TV critic Daniel Fienberg in his season one review.

Season two will be adapted and written by Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan. The executive producers are Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton and Katherine Bond for the BBC; alongside Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan.
