But as Max Hastings’ trial approaches, Connor’s brother Jamie suddenly disappears, and Pip finds herself in a race against time to find him. This new mystery will take Pip to unexpected places as she struggles with the idea of justice, straying even further from the ‘good girl’ she once was.”

Netflix has officially unveiled the trailer for the new season, teasing a “bigger and badder” mystery. Alongside the trailer, Netflix released the official poster and a gallery of new stills highlighting the returning characters and some highly anticipated fresh faces joining the world of Little Kilton.

New Cast Members for Season 2:

Little Kilton is getting a few new residents, and their arrival is going to shake things up. The new cast includes:

• Eden H. Davies (Tell Me Everything) as Jamie Reynolds: Connor’s brother and a quiet but popular local musician whose sudden disappearance kicks off the season’s central mystery.
• Misia Butler (KAOS) as Stanley Forbes: A figure on the fringes of the investigation with connections that may run deeper than they seem.
• Jack Rowan (Noughts + Crosses) as Charlie Green: Pip’s new neighbor who gets drawn into the unraveling mystery.

Other new additions to the cast include Anna Brindle, Peter Sullivan, Freddie Thorp, Lu Corfield, and Stephanie Street.

Author Holly Jackson couldn’t be more thrilled with the new additions. “Eden is sensational as our Jamie, his presence felt throughout, even though he’s missing,” Jackson shared. “Misia is the perfect Stanley Forbes, delivering a truly heart-wrenching performance. And Jack as Charlie Green is simply extraordinary: I had to stand and clap at the monitors. Just you wait.”

Who is behind the scenes of Season 2?

Fans of the books will be delighted to know that author Holly Jackson is taking a more hands-on role this time around. For Season 2, Jackson serves as co-writer and adapter alongside Poppy Cogan, who adapted the first season.

“I am BEYOND thrilled that we can continue Pip’s story and, this time, I’m writing on the show!” Jackson said. “We owe everything to the dedicated fans, and I can’t wait to reunite with my AGGGTM family!”

The series is once again produced by Moonage Pictures (The Gentlemen, Bodies). Executive producers include Matthew Read, Simon Crawford Collins, and Frith Tiplady for Moonage; Lucy Richer, Danielle Scott-Haughton, and Katherine Bond for the BBC, alongside Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan.
