El Niño Streaming 2026 - A Good Girl's Guide to Murder - Season Two

A Good Girl's Guide to Murder the British mystery/thriller second season based on the novel series by Holly Jackson. Internationally the series streams on Netflix, in Australia, it streams on Stan. 

The second series was released late May, so I am playing catch up. A third and final series is set to premiere in 2027.

The second season revolves around the disappearance of Pip's best friend Connor's brother, Jamie. Connor pleads with Pip to help in the search for Jamie, who was last seen at a memorial for Sal and Andie, a few days before he is to appear as a witness in court. Pip investigates and helps spread awareness about Jamie's disappearance through episodes of her podcast.

This was an easy second season binge of all six episodes. Like Dustfall and other series lately, this is more crime on the small screen.

If like me you are yet to catch up on the second season finale, stop reading now!


Pip refuses to involve the police, not trusting them, and the trio decide to lure Stanley out by pretending to be Layla, allowing Connor and Ravi to break into his house. Pip recruits Cara to keep lookout with her, although their friendship is still strained. Pip reveals herself to Stanley, who agrees to talk to her, he divulges that Layla asked to meet at the manor house, but Jamie was there and attempted to kill him with a knife after Stanley reacted to the name Child Brunswick. 

Ravi and Connor discover Jamie still alive inside Stanley's house. Jamie begs Connor to leave him there, insisting he is alright and needs to stay. 

Stanley reveals he has been holding Jamie hostage, unsure if Jamie was actually Layla, but the both of them came to an understanding. 

Cara goes to help Pip, but is taken at gunpoint by Charlie, who reveals he and Flora are the real Layla, intending to avenge his murdered twin sister. Charlie angrily confronts Stanley, but Pip calls 999 on Howie's burner phone, distracting Charlie and allowing her and Cara to escape. 

Pip returns to save Stanley, but Charlie refuses, comparing the situation to Pip and Max; he shoots Stanley numerous times before setting the building on fire. Pip drags Stanley out of the building, performing CPR after he falls unconscious, refusing to stop even after Dan arrives to help. 

Charlie and Flora escape, and Pip repeatedly experiences vivid flashbacks to Stanley's death. 

At the funeral, Pip and Jamie discuss Stanley and he reassures her that Charlie was wrong. Pip has a panic attack during her speech after seeing vandalism calling Stanley a murderer. Nat and Jamie begin dating, whilst Cara and Pip mend their relationship. 

Pip returns home to find threatening messages on her laptop.

The third season is apparently already filmed, so expect it on Stan early in 2027. Whilst on Stan, The Rainmaker returns today. Gnomes was an interesting Aussie horror/comedy. Whilst, P-Valley finally returns for it's third and final season in December. There is a lot on Stan right about now.

Next week Channel Seven and ABC are the last two networks to unveil their Aussie content for 2027. I would be highly surprised if Seven actually do any drama, that isn't Home & Away.

Chat then!

Pip's return in season two really does feel like a different, more confident story, and the way the review ties the new mystery back to the first season makes it easy to follow. I liked how the pacing leaves room for the suspects to breathe instead of rushing every reveal. For viewers who want a simple way to watch more shows like this, the Castle App is worth a look alongside the usual streaming services.
