A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is expanding its Season 2 cast, adding nine to the hit drama based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling novels. We’re also getting a first look at Emma Myers‘ return to the role of Pip Fitz-Amobi.
BBC, Netflix and ZDFneo revealed Monday that Misia Butler (Kaos) will join the series as Stanley Forbes, a figure on the fringes of the investigation, with connections that may run deeper than they seem. Eden Hambelton Davies (Tell Me Everything) will play Jamie Reynolds, Connor’s brother, a quiet but popular local musician whose sudden disappearance sends shockwaves throughout the community. Jack Rowan (Noughts And Crosses) joins as Charlie Green, Pip’s new neighbor who is drawn into the heart of the mystery unravelling in Little Kilton.
Season 2 will also see Anna Brindle (The Outs), Peter Sullivan (Around The World In 80 Days), Freddie Thorp (Fate: The Winx Saga), Lu Corfield (The Crow Girl), Stephanie Street (Breathtaking) and Freddie England join the cast in key roles.
They join returning Season 1 cast Zain Iqbal (Death, Whatever!), Henry Ashton (My Lady Jane), Asha Banks (My Fault: London), Yali Topol Margalith (The Tattooist of Auschwitz), and Jude Morgan-Collie (Here We Go).
After solving the Andie Bell case Pip’s world has been transformed by her actions, and not always for the better. Pip is determined to fix the fallout – and stay away from any more investigations. But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, Connor’s brother Jamie suddenly disappears and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him. This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the ‘good girl’ she once was.
