The "riveting" six-episode drama was released on BBC before later being rolled out on Netflix. It follows Wednesday’s Emma Myers as Pip Fitz-Amobi.

She plays the role of a teenager who is not convinced by the murder of local schoolgirl Andie Bell, played by India Lillie Davies, and decides to take matters into her own hands.

Her own investigation comes after a court ruled the murdered girls’ boyfriend Sal Singh (Rahul Pattni) murdered her before killing himself however Pippa believes he was innocent and wants to prove that before the real killer strikes again.

The show is soon to return with the determined sleuth facing a brand new mystery to solve. It will be based on Good Girl, Bad Blood, the second book in the bestselling young adult mystery book series and adapted and written by Holly Jackson and Poppy Cogan.
