Netflix confirmed A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2 on November 20, 2024, sharing that the series had been renewed for a second season and that the author of the YA book series was coming on board to write alongside Poppy Cogan.

“I am BEYOND thrilled that we can continue Pip’s story and, this time, I’m writing on the show!" screenwriter, executive producer, and author Holly Jackson shared in a statement. "We owe everything to the dedicated fans, and I can’t wait to reunite with my AGGGTM family!”

Screenwriter and executive producer Poppy Cogan shared this sentiment: “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.”

Speaking to Variety in 2023, producers Matthew Read and Frith Tiplady had previously shared that “future seasons would look at the subsequent novels” in the Good Girls series, and that though they hoped A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder would be “a returning series,” season one would end neatly just in case. “The season has a real end — I think audiences [are] getting a bit frustrated with not having a resolution,” Tiplady admitted before Read added, “You find out whodunnit, but Pip’s journey continues in the subsequent novels.”

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 1 follows the story of high schooler Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi (Emma Myers) as she sets out to uncover the truth behind the five-year-old murder case of Andie Bell as part of a school project. Andie is believed to have been murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh, but true crime enthusiast Pip is not so sure, so to prove his innocence and find the real culprit, she links up with Sal's brother, Ravi Singh (Zain Iqbal).

The second season will be based on Jackson's sequel novel, Good Girl, Bad Blood, and will pick up right after Pip solves the Andie Bell case. Her world has changed, and she's unsure if she wants to pursue any more investigations. However, when a witness in the Max Hastings trial disappears, Pip is back in action. “This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the 'good girl' she once was,” Netflix shared in a press release when the renewal was announced.

The season's official logline, as shared by Netflix, is as follows: “After solving the Andie Bell case, Pip (Emma Myers) is determined to fix the fallout—and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings's (Henry Ashton) trial approaches, Connor's (Jude Morgan-Collie) brother Jamie (Eden H Davies) suddenly disappears, and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him.” We are already intrigued.

The main cast of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder features Wednesday star Emma Myers as Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi and Zain Iqbal as Ravi Singh, both of whom return for season 2. Also returning are Asha Banks as Cara Ward, Jude Morgan-Collie as Connor Reynolds, Yali Topol Margalith as Lauren Gibson, and Henry Ashton as Max Hastings.

New cast additions include Misia Butler as Stanley Forbes, “a figure on the fringes of the investigation.” Eden H. Davies as Jamie Reynolds, Connor’s quiet brother, who is also a popular local musician and who disappears suddenly. As well as Jack Rowan as Charlie Green, Pippa’s new neighbour, who “is drawn into the heart of the mystery unravelling in Little Kilton.” Freddie England has also joined as Robin Hastings, “a controversial new member of the friendship group who starts dating Lauren.”

Additional casting also includes Anna Brindle, Peter Sullivan, Freddie Thorp, Lu Corfield, and Stephanie Street.

Yes! In July 2025, Emma Myers posted four first-look pics from A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 to her Instagram. The pics, which you can see below, show Emma Myers as Pippa Fitz-Amobi, Misia Butler as Stanley Forbes, Eden H. Davies as Jamie Reynolds, and Jack Rowan as Charlie Green.

Netflix then released an additional 11 pictures in April 2026 to coincide with the announcement of the May release date, giving us a proper first look at the upcoming season with actual stills from the show rather than behind-the-scenes images.

Back in 2024, Netflix confirmed that A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 would begin filming in the UK in 2025, although they didn't share a specific date. Then, the BBC announced the start of production on April 8, 2025, posting a video of the cast at the first read-through for the season. Filming began on April 15 and, as announced by Emma Myers herself, it wrapped on July 16, 2025.

“Wow......another one done. Very proud of this season, can't wait for everyone to see it," the actor wrote on Instagram, posting a photo of herself holding a massive bouquet of flowers outside of her trailer, which features her character's name, Pip.

Despite the BBC confirming that filming had wrapped on July 18, Emma Myers was spotted filming scenes for the show in South Bristol on September 18, 2025. She was seen alongside co-stars Zain Iqbal, Jessica Webber, Jude Morgan-Collie, and Eden Hambelton-Davies. It's unclear whether filming took place for reshoots or complementary pieces for the sophomore season, or whether the series has received a yet-to-be-announced early renewal, though the former is more plausible.
