Emma Myers Leads A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Series 2 Launch on 27 May 2026
emma myers says Pip Fitz-Amobi is back on a tighter clock in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder series two, which launches on 27 May 2026. The new run reaches the UK through iPlayer, One and Three, while Netflix, ZDFneo and Stan split the international rollout by territory.
27 May 2026 rollout
The 27 May 2026 launch puts the series on iPlayer, One and Three in the UK, on Netflix globally except Germany, Austria and Switzerland, on ZDFneo in those three countries, and on Stan in Australia. For viewers, that means the same title arrives through different rights windows depending on where they live, with no single platform carrying the full rollout everywhere.
The series, based on Holly Jackson’s novels, returns with Pip trying to move past the Andie Bell case. She has already seen how one investigation can spill into other lives, and this season begins from that fallout rather than from a clean slate.
Jamie disappears
Jamie, Connor’s brother, goes missing at the end of episode one, and Pip races to find him alive. Emma Myers said, “There is, because this time we are not dealing with somebody who is dead.” That changes the pace of the case immediately: “You can take your time on a dead person’s case, but with Jamie missing, time is running out.”
Max Hastings’ trial approaches at the same time, and Pip thinks Jamie’s disappearance may be tied to it because he is a witness. Myers said, “She is working against the clock.” That gives the season a cleaner businesslike structure than the previous mystery: one missing witness, one trial, and a deadline that compresses every choice Pip makes.
Pip, Cara and Max
Pip also enters the season with a damaged friendship. Her revelation about Cara Ward’s dad, Elliot, changed that relationship after she released a podcast about her best friend’s father while they were still in school, and everyone could listen and make fun of Cara. That puts a private cost on Pip’s public pursuit of truth.
Myers said the new material pushes Pip into harder territory because “A new mystery takes Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the 'good girl' she once was.” She added of Max Hastings, “That’s a very interesting dynamic because although Pip hates everything that Max (Henry Ashton) is, she can’t help herself.”
For viewers, the practical takeaway is straightforward: series two is not a reset. It is a chase story built around a missing witness, a pending trial and a friendship already damaged by Pip’s last investigation, with Emma Myers framing the season as a faster, sharper turn into consequences. The launch date is set, and the new stakes are spelled out.
