Get ready to crack the case on a new murder mystery, because A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is sleuthing its way onto your screens.
Emma Myers, who portrays Wednesday Addams’ werewolf roommate, Enid Sinclair, in Wednesday, stars as the smart and single-minded Pip Fitz-Amobi in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, based on Holly Jackson’s hugely successful YA mystery novel of the same name. The six-episode season, adapted by Poppy Cogan and directed by Dolly Wells, follows 17-year-old Pip as she investigates the murder of a high school student who was killed five years prior.
“I’m thrilled about this show, and getting to be Pip has been a dream,” Myers tells Tudum. “Whether you’ve read the book or not, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is an experience all around. I think people are really going to like it.”
The series, commissioned by the BBC and produced by Moonage Pictures, in co-production with ZDFneo and Netflix, first aired in the UK and Ireland on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer and is now streaming on Netflix as of Aug. 1.
Read on for some more clues about what to expect.
The series takes place five years after a murder-suicide shook the town of Little Kilton. Popular high school senior Andie Bell (India Lillie Davies) was murdered by her boyfriend, Sal Singh (Rahul Pattni), who then killed himself. At least, that’s what everyone believes, including the police. Case closed, right? But Pip Fitz-Amobi (Myers), now a high school senior herself, sees how the gruesome murder still has a grip on her hometown, and she thinks there’s more to the story. Pip begins an investigation of her own as she looks into the case for her senior project, determined to get to the bottom of this mystery. But if Sal didn’t do it, that means a murderer is still out there — and Pip herself may now be in danger.
You can find the trailer at the top of this story. Watch it carefully, like any good detective would — you just might pick up some clues.
The series is based on the popular trilogy of novels by British author Holly Jackson. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is the first book in the YA mystery series, which became a New York Times bestseller and has sold millions of copies worldwide. That novel’s 2019 debut was followed by Good Girl, Bad Blood in 2020 and As Good as Dead in 2021. (There’s also a prequel novella you can read about Pip, Kill Joy, that was also published in 2021.)
Jackson, for her part, is “beyond excited” that A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is streaming on Netflix. “I hope viewers will love discovering (or rediscovering) all the secrets and lies of our small English town — Little Kilton,” she tells Tudum. “Viewers can expect laugh-out-loud moments from all the teenage antics, but also all the pulse-pounding twists you’d find in the darkest of thrillers. Heartbreak, tears, gasps, swooning at all the PipRavi moments brought to life, watching behind a cushion, cursing my name … be prepared for it all when A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder hits your screens.”

You can’t actually go to the fictional Little Kilton, but you could pay a visit to Axbridge in Somerset, England, which stood in for the series’ quiet little town. The scenes at Little Kilton School were filmed at Redmaids’ High School in Bristol, and the Redcliffe Caves in Bristol were the location for the secretive calamity party.
This part’s no mystery — A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is streaming now.
