A Good Girl's Guide to Murder isn't ready to leave our screens just yet as the BBC has confirmed that a third and final instalment of the Emma Myers-starring teen crime drama has already been filmed. Just mere weeks after the series returned for a second chapter, the broadcaster released a first-look image of protagonist Pip Fitz-Amobi, played by the Wednesday star, as she's back for one more investigation.
The third season is expected to complete the adaptation of the book trilogy from author Holly Jackson, who co-created the series with Poppy Cogan. Myers, who also serves as executive producer on A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, warned fans to brace for "a crazy time" as the series brings to the screen her favourite book of Jackson's, As Good As Dead.
"I'm very happy that we get to bring everyone series 3 of A Good Girl's Guide To Murder. Thank you so much to everyone who has given this show love and support throughout!" Myers said in a statement.

"This has truly been an incredible experience and Pip will be a character I will never forget. Book 3 is my favorite of all the books, so I'm very excited to show everyone what we've done."
Alongside Myers, who's returning as Pip after investigating a disappearance and experiencing podcast fame in season 2, the third and final instalment will also see Zain Iqbal, Henry Ashton, Asha Banks, Jude Morgan-Collie, Eden Hambelton Davies, and Yali Topol Margalith reprise their roles.
What to Read Next
For her part, author and co-creator Jackson teased a "bloody" conclusion lying ahead for the characters we've come to know and love.
"I am ecstatic that we are able to bring A Good Girl's Guide to Murder to its (bloody) conclusion. As Good As Dead is my favourite of the book series and it's by far my favourite season of the show too," she said.
"You'll see Pip as you've never seen her before. It's dark, breathless, horrible and... somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time… if you dare."
Director of BBC Drama Lindsay Salt hinted at the show making it to the screen next year.
"We've loved seeing A Good Girl's Guide to Murder prove so popular with viewers on the BBC. I know its many, many passionate fans will be as delighted as we are to know that the third part of Holly Jackson's trilogy has already filmed and will be arriving on screens next year. Bring it on!"
