YA murder-mystery fans, this one’s for you. Netflix is adapting Holly Jackson’s bestselling novel A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, starring Emma Myers as our lead amateur detective Pip. Pip is still in school and planning for her future but she can’t stop thinking about the past—specifically the case where a fellow student was murdered by her boyfriend. At least, that’s what the rest of the town believes but Pip isn’t convinced, leading her on a wild goose chase that contains more danger than she knows.
Joining Myers are Zain Iqbal, Anna Maxwell Martin, Gary Beadle, Mathew Baynton, India Lillie Davies, Rahul Pattni, Henry Ashton, Mitu Panicucci, and more. We can’t wait to see how they take the source material and run with it—from the trailer alone, it already looks like a must-watch. A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder hits Netflix on August 1—buckle up!
