Wednesdaystar Emma Myers has teased that there are bigger stakes to come in season 2 of her successful murder-mystery thriller,A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.

PerThe Hollywood Reporter, Myers teased that season 2 ofA Good Girl’s Guide to Murderis going to have bigger stakes than season 1, and stated there was a lot of pressure and more stress surrounding season 2, but that she enjoyed the challenge, and that she found this season more intriguing than the first.
She praised the scripts for the new installment and how they’ve elevated the novels. Myers detailed that season 2 was among the most challenging and fun days she’s had on set, and that she was excited for the season. Check out her comments below:
There’s so much pressure that goes around it, but I enjoy a challenge. We actually just wrapped season two [on July 16], crazy, and so it’s been such a great time getting to adapt these books and working with all these people.
It’s a challenge, but it’s definitely one that I take on willingly, and I think everybody else in this series loves it as much as I do. It’s a crazy show to lead, insane, but I enjoy it so much.
Our writer, who actually is the author of the books, Holly Jackson, is now writing scripts for season two. I’m so excited for people to see it because her writing is so, so, so good and it elevates the books in such a unique and amazing organic way.
But I also love the storyline. I feel more intrigued by it and more into this season, and there’s bigger stakes in this season than there were in season one, so it’s sort of a more stressful time.
But I genuinely have had, like the second season we just finished, some of the most challenging, some of the most fun days on set ever. I’m so excited. It’s a crazy season and I’m super, super proud of it!

A Good Girl’s Guide to Murderseason 2could adapt the second novel in the trilogy,Good Girl, Bad Blood, but, as Myers’s comments suggest, the show will look to expand on the books and develop plot points that are separate from the novels. Her comments are encouraging that the show will be taken to new heights with season 2.
