A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 First Look
The BBC, Netflix, and ZDFneo have shared a first look at A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 and announced the new cast members joining the drama series.
Based on the bestselling novels by Holly Jackson, the series is produced by Moonage Pictures, part of ITV Studios (The Gentlemen, The Famous Five, Bodies).
Four newly-released photos offer a first look at Emma Myers (Wednesday) returning as Pip Fitz-Amobi and reveal three new cast members stepping into the mystery for series two. Misia Butler (KAOS) will join the series as Stanley Forbes, a figure on the fringes of the investigation, with connections that may run deeper than they seem.
Eden Hambelton-Davies (Tell Me Everything) will play Jamie Reynolds, Connor’s brother, a quiet but popular local musician whose sudden disappearance sends shockwaves throughout the community. Jack Rowan (Noughts And Crosses) joins as Charlie Green, Pip’s new neighbor, who is drawn into the heart of the mystery unravelling in Little Kilton.
Author and Season 2 writer Holly Jackson said, “I’m so excited to welcome some new and incredibly talented actors into the AGGGTM family. Eden is sensational as our Jamie, his presence felt throughout, even though he’s missing.
“Misia is the perfect Stanley Forbes, delivering a truly heart-wrenching performance. And Jack as Charlie Green is simply extraordinary: I had to stand and clap at the monitors. Just you wait.”
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 will also see 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 join the cast in key roles.
They star alongside the returning cast of season one: 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).
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 further 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. 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 first season of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder was a big hit when it premiered in Summer 2024, becoming one of BBC iPlayer’s most-watched titles among 16-to 24-year-olds and BBC Three’s highest-rated drama since its relaunch.
The six-episode second season was commissioned for the BBC by Lindsay Salt, Director of BBC Drama, and Fiona Campbell, Controller Youth Audience, BBC Three and BBC iPlayer. Based on Holly Jackson’s series of books, it is produced by Moonage Pictures for BBC iPlayer and BBC Three in co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo.
It has been adapted for the screen by Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan. Sophie Klein produces season two. Asim Abbasi is the director for block one, and Jill Robertson is the director for block two.
The executive producers are Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins, and Frith Tiplady for Moonage Pictures; Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton, and Katherine Bond for the BBC; alongside Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan. BBC Studios is handling global sales.
