Season 2 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder put young sleuth Pippa “Pip” Fitz-Amobi (Emma Myers) at the center of another investigation in her quaint English town of Little Kilton. But the BBC/Netflix series is based on Holly Jackson’s bestselling series of YA mysteries, meaning there is more source material to draw from—so there may be even more cases for Pip to solve.
Season 1 followed Pip as she dug into the murder of popular high-schooler Andie Bell for a school project—but also because her instincts (correctly) told her the cops had pinned her death on the wrong person. In season 2, Pip and her friends investigated the disappearance of Jamie Reynolds (Eden H. Davies), the brother of friend Connor (Jude Morgan-Collie), who went missing right before he was set to testify in the rape trial of Andie’s classmate, Max Hastings (Henry Ashton).
This last season of the detective series ended with Jamie found safe, but the events surrounding the search for him (and Max’s acquittal) leave Pip traumatized. That aftermath would surely follow her into the next chapter of her story—as would the anonymous threats she received at home and school.
Curious what might come next for Pip, Ravi (Zain Iqbal), and the rest of their Little Kilton crew? Lucky for you, we’ve got some clues. Read on for everything we know about a potential season 3 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
Pip (Emma Myers) will soon be on another case.
Has 'A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder' been renewed for season 3?
In mid-June 2026, Netflix confirmed via a press release that A Good Girl's Guide to Murder will return for season 3. Considering that there’s still one more book in Jackson’s series to adapt—and that season 2 debuted on the streamer's Global Top 10 list just four days after its release—you didn't have to be a detective to think a renewal announcement could be forthcoming.
To celebrate the good news, author Holly Jackson shared a statement: "I am ecstatic that we are able to bring A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder to its (bloody) conclusion. As Good As Dead is my favourite of the book series and it’s by far my favourite season of the show too. You’ll see Pip as you’ve never seen her before. It’s dark, breathless, horrible and…somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time…if you dare."
Not only that, but star Emma Myers also shared her excitement and emphasized just how great the source material is. "I'm very happy that we get to bring everyone season 3 of A Good Girl's Guide To Murder. Thank you so much to everyone who has given this show love and support throughout! This has truly been an incredible experience, and Pip will be a character I will never forget," she said. "Book 3 is my favorite of all the books, so I'm very excited to show everyone what we've done. Get ready for a crazy time!"
Which 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' book will season 3 be based on?
As confirmed by Netflix and Jackson herself, the third season will adapt Book 3 of her mystery books, As Good As Dead. That makes sense, as season 1 was based on the 2019 novel A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, and season 2 was adapted from 2020’s Good Girl, Bad Blood. The 2021 (ominously titled!) thriller is the conclusion to the trilogy, but there is also a prequel, Kill Joy; however, it's unclear if any scenes from that book will appear in flashbacks.
Pip apologies to Ravi (Zain Iqbal) by the end of season 2 for distancing herself from their relationship by becoming too involved in her investigations.
What will 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' season 3 be about?
According to a synopsis for As Good As Dead, Pip is about to head off to college but is still haunted by the events of her last investigation. By the end of season 2, we start to see as much, as she’s devastated by Stanley's death and feels guilty about the ways her sleuthing has hurt the people closest to her. Then there’s also the case of those anonymous threats she’s received: “Who will look for you when you’re the one who disappears?”
“Soon the threats escalate, and Pip realizes that someone is following her in real life. When she starts to find connections between her stalker and a local serial killer caught six years ago, she wonders if maybe the wrong man is behind bars,” the synopsis reads. “Police refuse to act, so Pip has only one choice: find the suspect herself—or be the next victim. As the deadly game plays out, Pip discovers that everything in her small town is coming full circle...and if she doesn’t find the answers, this time she will be the one who disappears...”
With Max (Henry Ashton) acquitted, he will return in season 3.
Which 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' cast members will return for season 3?
You can’t have A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder without the titular girl, can you? Inevitably, Emma Myers will be back as Pip. Netflix has confirmed we'll also see more of her besties and fellow clue-following crew, including Zain Iqbal as her boyfriend, Ravi Singh, Asha Banks as Cara Ward, Jude Morgan-Collie as Connor Reynolds, and Yali Topol Margalith as Lauren Gibson.
Because Max is now a free man following his acquittal—which arguably would not have happened if Jamie, a key eyewitness in the case, had not gone missing during the trial—Henry Ashton will reprise his role as well. Jamie, played by Eden H. Davies, will also continue to be part of season 3.
It's safe to say that the case is far from over. There’s still plenty of bad blood (pun intended) between Pip and Max: Remember, she painted the word “rapist” on his front door, and he taunted her by saying, “You started this, Pip. It’s my turn next.”
Season 3 will adapt As Good As Dead by Holly Jackson.
When will season 3 of 'A Good Girl's Guide to Murder' be released?

According to the streamer, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 3 has already wrapped production and will premiere sometime in 2027. The news was confirmed as soon as the renewal was announced.
