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

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder star Emma Myers in front of a board of clues.

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.”

Here is everything we know about A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2...

Meanwhile, Zain Iqbal is back as Ravi Singh, who assists Pip in investigating the Andie Bell case in season 1, helping to prove his brother had been wrongly accused of murder.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1 also featured Asha Banks as Cara, Yali Topol Margalith as Lauren, Jude Collie as Connor, and Raiko Gohara as Zach as Pip's friends but it is yet to be announced whether they are all returning for the new series.

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2 plot

As Pip’s community was reeling from the unsettling truths she exposed in season 1, she was also left facing some big life questions of her own. And what about her budding romance with fellow investigator, Sal’s brother, Ravi? Season 2 will have everything covered.

The official synopsis says: "After solving the Andie Bell case Pip‘s world has been transformed by her actions, and not always for the better. As the second series arrives Pip is determined to fix the fallout of her actions - and stay away from any more investigations, but as always there is trouble just around the corner.

"As Max Hastings’ trial approaches, key witness Jamie Reynolds 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."

What happened at the end of A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 1?

WARNING - spoilers for the first season below!

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. However, Ravi and Cara turn up with the police and save her while Becca is caught.

We also found out that Max Hastings was the one who assaulted Becca and that Cara's dad, Elliot, the local teacher, killed Sal and framed him for Andie's murder, while also kidnapping Isla and holding her hostage in his loft and having a relationship with Andie, who was his student.
