Read on for everything we know so far about what's next for A Good Girl's Guide to Murder.

Is A Good Girl's Guide to Murder returning for season 2?

There's no word yet on the status of the series, but there's certainly no shortage of source material to mine.

There are two more novels in Jackson's series, Good Girl, Bad Blood and As Good As Dead, and there's also her novella Kill Joy, which is a prequel.

"I've been talking about it from the start, like, 'Come on guys, we've got to make all of it'," Jackson told RadioTimes.com and other press.

"As ever with TV, it very much depends on turnout for season 1, if there's enough of an appetite for it. We're all very much hoping and praying."

She added: "I'd love to make the whole thing, the third book. I think it would just be so cool to make all of it.

"And hopefully, if the readers translate into viewers, we'll have the numbers and we can do it. We would love it."

Asha Banks, who plays Pip's best friend Cara, added: "That would be an absolute dream. The second and third books are amazing. It gets darker and darker. Pip gets even more crazy. It all goes crazy."

Executive producer Frith Tiplady also has hopes that they'll get the thumbs up to continue.

"We, the BBC and ZDF hope that it will be a returning series," she told Variety. "But we also want to stress the season has a real end — I think audiences is getting a bit frustrated with not having a resolution."

When could a potential A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2 air?

We wouldn't expect a new season to air until 2025 at least.

As soon as we have more information, we'll update this page.

Who could return for a potential A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2?

We'd expect Emma Myers to return as Pip.

Speaking to RadioTimes.com about mastering an English accent, the American actor said: "I used to do a British accent for fun – but I was never really good at it. I was nervous because by the time I joined the project, I only had two weeks to nail it before we started shooting.

"I had a dialect coach, we went through every single scene a million times. That helped – but it wasn’t something I picked up right away."

Executive producer Matthew Read told Variety that it was "never our plan to hire an actress from across the pond".

"The hunt for Pip was a huge endeavour. It was like looking for Scarlett O'Hara in Gone with the Wind. We met lots and lots of actors and we were incredibly surprised an actress from America turned out to be perfect for Pip. But that was not our intention at all, she just did an incredible reading for us."

We could also expect returns from the following characters:

• Zain Iqbal as Ravi
• Asha Banks as Cara
• Yali Topol Margalith as Lauren
• Jude Morgan-Collie as Connor
• Raiko Gohara as Zach
• Yasmin Al-Khudhairi as Naomi
• Henry Ashton as Max
• Jackson Bews as Dan
• Anna Maxwell Martin as Leanne
• Gary Beadle as Victor
• Kamari Loyd as Josh

Cara and Naomi's dad Elliot (Mathew Baynton) is now behind bars, but will his daughters pay him a visit in season 2?

Andie (India Lillie Davies) and Sal (Rahul Pattni) could also feature in flashbacks alongside other familiar faces. And there will also be plenty of new characters joining the action, including Connor's brother Jamie, who disappears.

What could happen in a potential A Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2?

In Jackson's second book – Good Girl, Bad Blood – Pip releases a true crime podcast with Ravi in which they detail how they solved the Andie Bell case.

But despite the podcast going viral, "Pip insists her investigating days are behind her" – that is until Connor's brother Jamie goes missing.

With the police refusing to step in, Pip "will have to break that promise" – an adventure which uncovers "more of her town's dark secrets along the way".

Speaking about developing the first book for the small screen, Jackson told RadioTimes.com and other press that the scripts "were not initially, I think, as true to the book as they needed to be".

"So we worked a lot on bringing that back because I knew that the reason the books are where they are is because of the readers, and if we made a show that they weren't happy with, we're kind of screwing ourselves over there," she added.

But Jackson did go on to say that part of the process of adapting it for television was learning to relinquish control.

"In TV world, you have to let go a little bit because it takes a whole village to make every little thing and if I was there being like, 'Oh, I don't like that lighting,' I've got a reputation for myself," she explained. "So you need to let go at some point."

Is there a trailer for a potential Good Girl's Guide to Murder season 2?

No. First up, we need that all-important renewal.

If it does get the green light, expect the official trailer to arrive in the month leading up to the premiere.

There may also be teaser snippets released before then.

All six episodes of A Good Girl's Guide To Murder are available to stream now on BBC iPlayer, and will air on BBC Three later this month.
