Netflix and the BBC are continuing the adventures of Pip Fitz-Amobi. “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” scored a Season 2 renewal at the streaming giant.
A six-episode second season is set to film in the U.K. in 2025. The series will be produced by Moonage Pictures, which previously worked on “The Gentlemen,” “The Famous Five” and “Bodies,” for BBC iPlayer as well as BBC Three in co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo. This upcoming installment will premiere on Netflix globally everywhere save the U.K., Ireland, Germany, Australia and New Zealand. It will premiere in the U.K. and Ireland on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer.
Poppy Cogan, who previously adapted Season 1 from the novel of the same name, will return to write Season 2 alongside author Holly Jackson. Additionally, series star Emma Myers (“Wednesday,” “Family Switch”) will reprise her role as Pip Fitz-Amobi, and Zain Iqbal (“All Crazy Random”) will return as Ravi Singh.
Season 2 will focus on the aftermath of Pip solving the Andie Bell case. Though Pip is determined to fix the fallout of her actions and stay away from any more investigations, the universe proves to have other pans when a key witness in the Max Hastings’ trial disappears. “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,” a press release for the season reads.
“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!” Jackson said in a statement to press.
“I’m delighted to be back in Little Kilton with Pip and friends for Season 2, and to have the opportunity to bring another of Holly’s gripping stories to the screen,” Cogan added.
Jackson and Cogan will serve as executive producers alongside Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures and Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton and Katherine Bond for the BBC.
The first season of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” was a success for Netflix, debuting as No. 1 on the streamer’s Global Top 10 English-language TV list and remaining on the list for multiple weeks. After the series’ debut, Jackson’s novel returned to No. 1 on the NY Times Best timed to the trailer debut and still remains in the top 10.
