'Masterpiece' crime thriller gets exciting update ahead of new season
No official release date has been shared as fans wait news on season 2.
Fans of gripping crime dramas are in for a treat as the second series of a much-loved show is on its way.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, which first hit screens in 2024, quickly became a fan favourite. The plot, based on Holly Jackson's successful novel, revolves around the disappearance and presumed murder of Andie Bell, with her boyfriend being the main suspect.
However, years later, Pip, harbouring doubts, embarks on her own investigation for a school project. Now, ahead of the second season, some exciting news has been revealed.
The BBC, Netflix, and ZDFneo have announced new cast members joining the second series of this popular drama, along with the return of some familiar faces. Four newly released images provide a sneak peek at Emma Myers (known for her role in Wednesday) reprising her role as Pip Fitz-Amobi, alongside three fresh faces joining the mystery in the upcoming series.
While an official release date for the second series remains under wraps, brand new first look images have been unveiled, reports the Manchester Evening News.
Misia Butler (KAOS) will be introduced as Stanley Forbes, a peripheral figure in the investigation whose connections might be more significant than they initially appear. Eden Hambelton-Davies (Tell Me Everything) will portray Jamie Reynolds, Connor's brother, a quiet yet well-liked local musician whose sudden vanishing sends ripples through the community.
Viewers will also recognise Jack Rowan (Noughts And Crosses) who will take on the role of Pip's new neighbour, Charlie Green.
The BBC has tantalised viewers with a glimpse into the next chapter of Pip's life: "After solving the Andie Bell case Pip's world has been transformed by her actions, and not always for the better. Pip is determined to fix the fallout - and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings' trial approaches, Connor's brother Jamie suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him."
They added: "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."
The second series will feature new talents such as Anna Brindle (The Outs), Peter Sullivan (Around The World In 80 Days), Freddie Thorp (Fate: The Winx Saga), Lu Corfield (The Crow Girl), Stephanie Street (Breathtaking) and Freddie England.
These newcomers join the established ensemble from the first series, including Zain Iqbal (Death, Whatever!), Henry Ashton (My Lady Jane), Asha Banks (My Fault: London), Yali Topol Margalith (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), and Jude Morgan-Collie (Here We Go).
The show continues to captivate audiences, with glowing reviews still coming in. A fan exclaimed: "FIVE STARS! ! ! As someone who has read the entire trilogy and fell in love with its well-rounded characters, cozy setting, and carefully crafted plot so fast, it's safe to say that my expectations for the show were quite high."
Another viewer praised: "An absolutely stunning story that follows the book perfectly, the acting cast was perfect and on the dot. Absolute masterpiece!"
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is available to stream on Netflix and BBC iPlayer.
