A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Series Two launches on 27 May 2026, with Emma Myers back as Pip Fitz-Amobi and a new case pulling her out of the life she tried to rebuild. This time, the missing person is Connor’s brother Jamie, who vanishes as Max Hastings’ trial edges closer.
Pip wants no part of another investigation after the fallout from the Andie Bell case changed lives, but she is pulled back in when Jamie disappears at the end of episode one. Jamie is a witness in Max’s trial, and Pip races against the clock to find him alive.
The series returns in the UK on iPlayer, One and Three, while Netflix will premiere it globally outside Germany, Austria and Switzerland. ZDFneo has the rights in those three countries, and Stan will carry it in Australia. The show is based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling novels and is made for the by Moonage Pictures in co-production with Netflix and ZDFneo, with Studios handling global sales.
That setup matters because Pip is not the same girl who first chased the truth about Andie Bell. After uncovering that case, she revealed the truth about Cara Ward’s dad, Elliot, in a podcast while they were still in school, and this season finds her struggling with where justice ends and damage begins. Her idea of right and wrong is skewed, and the line between solving a mystery and making things worse has already cost other people dearly.
Series two shifts the story from murder to disappearance, and that change gives the show a new kind of urgency. Pip’s task is not to explain a death this time but to get Jamie home alive, even if it means being dragged back toward Max Hastings, the criminal she hates and is still drawn to in ways she does not fully trust. Henry Ashton plays Max, Eden H Davies plays Jamie, Jude Morgan-Collie plays Connor and Asha Banks returns as Cara, Pip’s best friend.
The real tension in the new season is not whether Pip can solve another case. It is whether she can keep doing this at all without breaking the people around her, or herself, in the process. By the time Jamie goes missing, the story has already made its point: Pip may want to stay away from investigations, but when the clock starts, she is the one who runs toward them.
