A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 is now available to stream on the BBC in the UK and Netflix internationally – and, as adaptations typically do, the narrative “expands” on Holly Jackson’s source material.
“Reading the books alongside filming, it was such a great opportunity because the stories were still so fresh in my mind,” new cast member Eden H Davies, who plays Connor’s brother Jamie, told Radio Times.
“You could really see where Holly had expanded on certain moments from the book. It was really nice to watch an idea or a thought that’s briefly touched on in the novel become something much bigger and more fully realised in the series. That was really exciting to see.”
Asha Banks, who plays Pip’s best friend Cara, echoed that, adding: “Holly said something really interesting about perspective – that this world has always existed, and the book is just one version of how you experience it, whereas the TV show, especially this season, lets you see it from a different angle.
“It’s like those events were always happening in the book, but readers weren’t necessarily given the privilege of seeing them play out. In the show, you are.
“When she said that, I was like: ‘Damn, she’s a smart lady.'”
As well as a compelling plot and killer performances to boot, AGGGTM boasts an eclectic soundtrack featuring a wealth of fresh talent alongside some classic old-timers.
