Good Girls Don’t Kill
A must-watch for fans of Emma Myers and quality British detectives. The atmosphere of a provincial town with secrets and strong chemistry between the main characters sets the series apart from typical YA adaptations.
The premiere took place on July 1, 2024, on BBC iPlayer, with an international release on Netflix on August 1, 2024. This is an adaptation of Holly Jackson's bestselling detective novel about Pippa Fitz-Amobi, a headstrong high school senior who investigates a five-year-old murder for a school project. Popular girl Andy Bell has disappeared, her boyfriend Sal committed suicide, leaving a confession, but Pippa is convinced the killer is still at large. Together with the deceased's brother Ravi, she digs into the secrets of the small town of Little Kilton, uncovering dark secrets of the local elite. The tone is atmospheric British noir with teenage energy: rainy streets, Redcliffe caves, and school gossip intertwine with real danger. The mini-series format (6 episodes) features a complete intrigue but leaves the door open for continuation. For fans of "Murder on the Orient Express" and "Sally," but with a modern teenage detective twist.
Production started in spring 2025, with a premiere expected in 2026 on BBC and Netflix — the plot is based on the book "Good Girl, Bad Blood."
Not necessarily — the series follows the plot of the first novel quite closely but has some differences in the ending and visualization of characters.
This is the main mystery of the first season — the resolution comes in the sixth episode with an unexpected twist related to the family secrets of several characters.
No, this is a separate project, although Emma Myers appears in both — here she is a completely different character, Pippa the investigator.
The first season consists of six episodes, each lasting 40–45 minutes — a closed story format with a completed investigation.
