A GOOD GIRL'S GUIDE TO MURDER: FIRST LOOK AND CASTING ANNOUNCED FOR SECOND SERIES OF BBC DRAMA

The BBC, Netflix and ZDFneo have announced the new cast members set to join the second series of hit drama A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, produced by Moonage Pictures, part of ITV Studios (The Gentlemen, The Famous Five, Bodies). The series is based on the bestselling novels by Holly Jackson.

Four newly released pictures offer a first look at Emma Myers (Wednesday) returning as Pip Fitz-Amobi and reveal three new cast members stepping into the mystery for series two.

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 neighbour who is drawn into the heart of the mystery unravelling in Little Kilton.

Holly Jackson, author & series two writer, says: “I'm so excited to welcome some new and incredibly talented actors into the AGGGTM family. Eden is sensational as our Jamie, his presence felt throughout, even though he’s missing. Misia is the perfect Stanley Forbes, delivering a truly heart-wrenching performance. And Jack as Charlie Green is simply extraordinary: I had to stand and clap at the monitors. Just you wait.”

Series two 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 star alongside the returning cast of series one: 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. Series two will premiere on the BBC and, outside of the UK and Ireland, on Netflix where available.
