Hopes for season 2
As of now, there is no official confirmation for the second season for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder. However, the presence of two additional books in Jackson's trilogy provides ample source material for future adaptations. The author has expressed her enthusiasm for the possibility of bringing all three books to the screen. In an interview with Radio Times UK, Jackson stated, "I think it would just be so cool to make all of it. And hopefully, if the readers translate into viewers, we’ll have the numbers and we can do it. We would love it” .
The series has already made a significant impact, shortly after its release. This high viewership is a promising indicator for the potential renewal of the show.
Throughout the first season, there are subtle hints that allude to events from the third novel in Jackson's series, particularly references to the Duct Tape Killer (DTK), a key figure in As Good As Dead. However, Mia Myers, who portrays Pip, has reassured fans that the second book will not be overlooked. In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment UK, she emphasized, "I don’t think any of us, if we were to do future seasons, expect to skip the second book. I think it’s integral as well, and just because there aren’t any references to it in season one, doesn’t mean that we’re going to skip it" .
What will season 2 possibly cover?
If a second season is greenlit, it will likely adapt the second book in Holly Jackson's series, Good Girl, Bad Blood. This installment follows Pip as she grapples with the disappearance of 23-year-old Jamie Reynolds. Although Pip has retired from detective work, she is drawn back into the fray when Jamie goes missing during a memorial for Andie Bell and Sal Singh. With the police unwilling to intervene, Pip, alongside Ravi, takes it upon herself to delve into the dark secrets lurking in their town.
Mia Myers has voiced her hope that the show's success will pave the way for further adaptations. She expressed her desire to see the series continue, stating, "I just want us to adapt the rest of the books. I hate stories that are unfinished so I hope that we will be able to see it through to the end" .
