If Pippa Fitz-Amobi’s behavior is any indication, once a teenage girl’s addicted to true crime, it’s tough to break her habit. For that reason—among others, such as the popularity of the book it’s based upon—fans of the new BBC/Netflix crime drama A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder are hopeful Pip and Co. will return for further mysteries.
In season 1, Pip (Emma Myers) takes it upon herself to fulfill a complicated school project: She wants to prove that a boy named Sal Singh did not murder this beautiful, popular girlfriend Andie Bell. By the end of the series’ first six episodes, Pip has certainly uncovered some long-hidden truths about her hometown and its residents—but perhaps not all of them. With that in mind, here’s what we know about what the young sleuth might unearth next.
Will there be a season 2 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder?
The Good Girl’s Guide books, written by British author Holly Jackson, make up a series of three: A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder; Good Girl, Bad Blood; and As Good as Dead. With so much more material for the TV show to extract, there’s little reason to suspect a season 2 would fail to materialize.
As Myers herself told Teen Vogue in an August interview, “I would love to see the entire trilogy pan out. I love the books. I love the story. So depending on if everybody likes it, hopefully we get to do another season.”
Jackson herself is eager to see her full series make the leap to the screen. She told Radio Times, “I’ve been talking about it from the start, like, ‘Come on guys; we’ve got to make all of it. As ever with TV, it very much depends on turnout for season 1, if there’s enough of an appetite for it. We’re all very much hoping and praying, touching wood.” She continued, “If the readers translate into viewers, we’ll have the numbers and we can do it. We would love it.”
What would A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 be about?
Without getting too far into spoiler territory, Good Girl, Bad Blood picks up after A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder: Pip has released a true-crime podcast and is eager to shed her “detective” identity to focus on normal teenager problems. But when someone in her hometown goes missing, she is—of course—drawn back into the mystery.
As Asha Banks, who plays Pip’s friend Cara in the series, put it to Radio Times, “The second and third books are amazing. It gets darker and darker. Pip gets even more crazy.” Sounds just like her.
