“VIEWERS FIRST LOVED HER IN WEDNESDAY… NOW MANY SAY THIS IS EMMA MYERS’ BEST ROLE YET.” 

Emma Myers is winning over Netflix fans again as A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder returns with a darker and more gripping second season

Most viewers first met Emma Myers as the bright and lovable Enid Sinclair in Wednesday — the cheerful roommate whose energy became the perfect contrast to Wednesday Addams’ dark personality.

That role made her a breakout star.

But many fans now believe her newest performance could become the one that truly defines her career.

Season 2 of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder officially landed on Netflix on May 27, and viewers are already calling it darker, sharper, and even more emotionally gripping than the first.

Emma returns as Pip Fitz-Amobi, the teenage true-crime investigator whose life was forever changed by the events of Season 1.

This time, Pip is trying to move forward.

After the emotional fallout of her first case, she wants distance from danger, mystery, and the pressure that came with exposing secrets in her town.

But when a key witness in a major assault case suddenly disappears, Pip finds herself pulled straight back into another investigation — one that quickly becomes even more personal.

Season 2 adapts Holly Jackson’s bestselling novel Good Girl, Bad Blood, with the author herself helping write the scripts alongside showrunner Poppy Cogan.

Critics say the result feels stronger in almost every way.

Reviews have praised the tighter mystery, darker emotional tone, and especially Emma Myers’ performance — with several describing it as the best work of her career so far.

What’s resonating with audiences most is how much Pip has changed.

Her curiosity is no longer treated as just clever or quirky.

Now it feels heavier.

More dangerous.

And more costly.

The new season explores what happens when someone becomes the person who always keeps digging… even when the truth starts affecting their mental health, friendships, and ability to trust anyone around them.

Emma carries that emotional weight through every episode.

Fans online say it’s a completely different side of her from what they saw in Wednesday — quieter, more intense, and far more vulnerable.

Returning alongside Emma is Zain Iqbal as Ravi, whose connection with Pip remains one of the emotional centers of the show.

New cast additions also bring fresh energy to the mystery as the investigation deepens.

Season 1 debuted at No. 1 on Netflix’s global chart back in 2024, and with the fanbase now returning in huge numbers, Season 2 looks set to continue that momentum.

For many viewers, though, the biggest takeaway isn’t just the mystery.

It’s Emma Myers herself.

What started as a fan-favorite supporting star in Wednesday has now become something else entirely:

A leading performance many Netflix fans say they won’t forget anytime soon.
