OHMYGOSSIP — Holly Jackson’s novel ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ is to be adapted into a drama series by BBC Three.
The 30-year-old author first published the bestseller – which tells the story of a girl determined to prove that a man had been wrongly convicted of murdering a schoolgirl – back in 2019 and is “beyond thrilled” that the thriller is now making its way to the small screen.
She said: “I am beyond thrilled that ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ has found its perfect home with Moonage Pictures and the BBC. It is a privilege to be working alongside such a talented and creative team who are as invested in the characters and story as I am. I can’t wait to introduce Pip and Ravi to a whole new audience and to welcome back readers who have missed our partners in crime.”
The six-part series – which will be made by Moonage Pictures and filmed in 2023 for broadcast the same year – will be written by Poppy Cogan, who explained that she is aiming to “take audiences on a thrilling ride” as she adapts the novel for broadcast.
She said: “I’m so honoured that Holly Jackson has entrusted me with the adaptation of her hugely popular and brilliant novel. With a relentlessly twisty plot and a cast of funny and idiosyncratic characters, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will take audiences on a thrilling ride into the dark heart of a quintessentially English town. Together with the excellent Moonage Pictures and our team of writers – Zia Ahmed, Ajoke Ibironke and Ruby Thomas – I’ve had so much fun bringing the world of the book to life. I can’t wait to see it on BBC Three.”
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder will air on BBC Three and BBC iPlayer in 2023, with casting to be announced at a later date.
