Just when fans thought that Pip Fitz was about to enjoy a break from the drama, Netflix has announced a follow-up season to the popular series A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. As of this writing, details are already beginning to emerge, showing that the upcoming slate of episodes will be even darker than the first. Fans will also revel in the news that many of their favorite characters will return for another crime being solved by Britain’s modern-era Nancy Drew.

The Good Girls Rundown

Season 1 follows 17-year-old Pip Fitz-Amobi (Wednesday co-star Emma Myers), a college-bound student who decides to delve into a controversial topic for her Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). Five years earlier, teenage girl Andi Bell disappeared from Pip’s small English village. Andi is widely believed to have been murdered by her boyfriend Sal (Rahul Pattni), though her body was never discovered. Before the police could charge him, Sal sent a text message to his family, apologizing for his actions. His body was discovered soon after, his death ruled a homicide.

Several items surrounding Andi’s disappearance never sat well with Pip, who was one of the last people to have seen the teen alive. Pip begins her research into the case, conducting interviews with Sal and Andi’s friends and family. The inconsistencies in the death timeline, contradicting statements from witnesses, and the revelation that Sal had an alibi when Andi disappeared feed into both Pip’s obsession with solving the case as well as several locals who appear to be preparing to harm the young sleuth.

Though the true killer is eventually revealed (along with two others who committed separate crimes), the mystery will only deepen with Season 2. When a key witness for the trial of Max Hastings disappears, Pip avows to find him. But she finds herself at odds with the small community she calls home, which was torn apart by all of the revelations unveiled by Pip’s detective work in Season 1. Again the target of violent threats, Pip will eventually have to decide what is more important: the truth or her life.

Fan-Favorite Characters Return In The Best Ways

Myers will not be the only familiar face for the second season. Zai Iqbal, who played Pip’s sidekick and love interest, returns in the role of Ravi. Henry Ashton once again plays Max Hastings, with Asha Banks (Cara Ward), Jude Morgan Collie (Connor Reynolds), and Misia Butler (Kaos co-star Stanley Forbes) resuming their characters from the first season.

The second season will feature six episodes. Like season one, expect a running time of less than 60 minutes each, making it easily bingeable. Fans are already speculating about additional seasons, though no formal announcement beyond season two has been made.

The series did respectably well, garnering an average rating of 6.8/10 on IMDB and receiving an 82-percent approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The first season was also awarded a ReFrame Stamp, an award given to shows that are portrayed as a “gender-balanced production.”

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is based on the New York Times best-selling books by Holly Jackson. The first book was published in 2019, with Good Girl, Bad Blood released a year later. Two more follow-ups were given to eager fans in 2021, a prequel titled Kill Joy and As Good As Dead. The books have been the recipients of multiple literary awards, including the YA Book Prize, the British Book Awards (Children’s Fiction Book of the Year), and the American Library Association’s Amazing Audiobooks For Young Adults Award.

As of this writing, no official release date has been set by either Netflix or the BBC. Fans can expect the new season sometime later in 2026. For those who haven’t seen the show (or for fans wanting a quick rewatch before the next season lands), you can stream The Good Girls Guide to Murder on Netflix.
