Fans of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder are buzzing with excitement after the thrilling first season dropped on Netflix and BBC iPlayer in 2024. The British teen mystery, adapted from Holly Jackson’s bestselling YA novel, hooked viewers with Pip Fitz-Amobi’s clever sleuthing in the quiet town of Little Kilton. With Season 2 officially confirmed, curiosity is high about when it’ll hit screens, who’s returning, and what new mysteries await. Here’s a deep dive into everything known so far about A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2.

Release Date Speculation: When Will Season 2 Premiere?

No exact date has been spilled yet, which is honestly torture for fans. But there are some clues to work with. Filming started in the UK on April 13, 2025, and wrapped up around mid-July 2025, according to sites like What’s On Netflix and Teen Vogue. That’s a tight schedule, so a late 2025 release feels like a stretch. More likely, we’re looking at early 2026—think January to March—for the premiere. Season 1 hit BBC iPlayer on July 1, 2024, and Netflix a month later on August 1, 2024. If Season 2 follows that vibe, expect BBC iPlayer to get it first, maybe mid-2026, with Netflix dropping it shortly after for the rest of the world.

Cast: Who’s Returning?

The heart of the show is coming back, and that’s got fans cheering. Emma Myers is returning as Pip, our fearless teen detective who’s way too good at digging up dirt. Zain Iqbal is also back as Ravi Singh, Pip’s ride-or-die partner (and let’s be real, the “PipRavi” romance has everyone swooning). In a chat with VMEN MagazineZain teased that Ravi’s still all-in for Pip’s wild plans, so expect more of their adorable teamwork.

But Season 2 is shaking things up with new characters. Deadline and Netflix Tudum spilled that nine new actors are joining the mix:

• Misia Butler plays Stanley Forbes, someone with shady ties to the new mystery.
• Eden Hambelton Davies is Jamie Reynolds, Connor’s brother and a local musician who goes missing, kicking off the season’s big case.
• Jack Rowan steps in as Charlie Green, Pip’s new neighbor who gets tangled in the drama.
• Other newcomers like Anna Brindle, Peter Sullivan, Freddie Thorp, Lu corfield, Stephanie Streetand Freddie England are on board, but their roles are still a mystery.

As for the rest of the gang, nothing’s set in stone, but fans are hoping to see Pip’s crew again—Asha Banks as Cara Ward, Yali topol margalith as Lauren Gibson, My father Gohara as Zach Chen, and Jude Morgan-Collie as Connor Reynolds—since they’re big in the book Good Girl, Bad Blood. Pip’s parents, Anna Maxwell Martin (Leanne) and Gary Beadle (Victor), or Mathew Baynton (Elliot Ward) might pop up, maybe in flashbacks, but Teen Vogue says their return isn’t locked in. And after Season 1 wrapped the Andie Bell case, India Lillie Davies (Andie) and Rahul Pattni (Sal) probably won’t be back except maybe for a quick flashback.

Plot Details: What’s Next For Pip And Little Kilton?

Season 2 is based on Good Girl, Bad Bloodthe second book in Holly Jackson’s trilogy, and it’s diving into a whole new mystery. After cracking the Andie Bell case in Season 1, Pip’s trying to chill and leave the detective life behind. But life in Little Kilton’s never that simple. According to Netflix and Varietythe story picks up with Pip dealing with the fallout of her big investigation—turns out, exposing secrets makes waves, and not everyone’s happy about it. When Jamie Reynolds, Connor’s brother, vanishes during Max Hastings’ trial, Pip’s dragged back into sleuthing mode to find him before it’s too late.

This season’s going darker. Netflix Tudum calls it “bigger and badder,” with Pip questioning her own sense of right and wrong. She’s also running a true crime podcast about the Andie Bell case, which blows up online and puts all eyes on her. When the police brush off Jamie’s disappearance, Pip takes matters into her own hands, uncovering more secrets and facing a killer who’s always one step ahead. The Good Girl, Bad Blood book has Pip and Ravi teaming up again, with their relationship getting deeper (cue the fangirling), and the show’s likely to keep that vibe.
