Netflix Gives Wednesday Star Crime Mystery Series In First Look
Emma Myers has been busy in the interim between Wednesday Season 1 and 2. Just as the 22-year-old actress is taking off to Ireland to film the second season of the Netflix hit, the streaming platform released a first look at Myers’ new show, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is based on the book series by Holly Jackson. The series follows Myers’ character, Pip, a high school student who isn’t satisfied by the investigation of another school girl’s murder. Taking matters into her own hands, she investigates the murder herself.

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will follow the first book in Jackson’s series across six 45-minute episodes. Two more seasons are planned to follow the events of Jackson’s second and third books. However, Frith Tiplady, one of the executive producers of the show, has stressed that even though more seasons are planned, the first season will have a hard ending as the mystery is solved.
While the teaser for A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder doesn’t show us much, readers of the book series may recognize the intriguing scene as a moment from the book where Pip and her friends attend a party during the investigation. It’s a pivotal event that kicks off the investigation, spurring Pip in the right direction after the discovery of some important clues.
With three mysteries waiting to be solved and the talented Emma Myers leading the way, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is setting itself up to be this generation’s version of Veronica Mars, just as Veronica was the millennial’s version of Nancy Drew. It will be interesting to see how Myers plays Pip, and whether she’ll be dark and tormented like Kristen Bell’s Veronica, peppy and peculiar like Nancy Drew, or if the series will stick to the books and portray Pip as intelligent, loyal, and forgiving. No matter what, it will be great to see Myers’ range expand from the colorful and peppy Enid she plays in Wednesday.
