A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2: cast, plot and everything we know

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2 is on the way, following the huge success of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1 in 2024.

The second series, which like the first will once again be based on Holly Jackson's bestselling books, reunites us with unlikely super-sleuth Pip Fitz-Amobi, who in the first series became determined to solve the murder of a local schoolgirl Andie Belle after growing convinced that the police had pinned the case on the wrong person. But while Pip might have found the real killer, it seems her crime-fighting days are only just beginning.

Speaking of the show being recommissioned, author Holly Jackson says: “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!”

Poppy Cogan, the mastermind behind adapting the books for TV adds: “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.”

At the end of season 1 Pip unearthed the shocking truth that it was Andie's sister, Becca who killed her and dumped her body in a well. She confronted Becca and got her to take her to where Andie's body was, unaware that Becca had drugged her and was going to dump her in the same place.
