‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ Renewed for Season 2 At Netflix & BBC

EXCLUSIVE: Pip Fitz-Amobi is returning for more amateur sleuthing.

The BBC and Netflix have given the go-ahead to a second season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, one of the breakout hits of 2024, which stars Wednesday’s Emma Myers as the precocious lead.

The six-part Season 2 will be based on Holly Jackson’s second novel, Good Girl, Bad Blood, and Jackson will write alongside Poppy Cogan, who penned the first series. Cameras will roll next year.

In Good Girl, Bad Blood, Pip is initially determined to stay away from more investigations after solving the Andie Bell case. But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, key witness Jamie Reynolds suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him. Myers, who broke out playing Enid Sinclair in Wednesday, returns as Pip while Zain Iqbal will continue playing Ravi Singh.

Based on the popular YA books penned by Jackson, A Good Girl’s Guide accrued millions of global streams on Netflix and performed well for the BBC on iPlayer, while proving a critical hit and returning the novel to the top of the New York Times bestseller list. Season 2 will again premiere on the BBC in the UK and Netflix globally bar Germany where it airs on ZDFneo and Australia where Stan has rights.

There is scope for further seasons as there are two more books in the series – As Good as Dead and Kill Joy.

Jackson said: “I am beyond thrilled that we can continue Pip’s story and, this time, I’m writing on the show. We owe everything to the dedicated fans, and I can’t wait to reunite with my AGGGTM family.”

Cogan added: “I’m delighted to be back in Little Kilton with Pip and friends for season two, and to have the opportunity to bring another of Holly’s gripping stories to the screen.”

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is sold by BBC Studios and produced by Moonage Pictures, which has had a good year having also co-produced another Netflix hit, The Gentlemen, and made two seasons of Nicolas Winding Refn’s Famous Five adaptation for the BBC and ZDF.

Execs on Season 2 of A Good Girl’s Guide are Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton and Katherine Bond for the BBC. Jackson and Cogan are also EPs.
