Wednesday's New Best Friend?
You've probably already binged Wednesday on Netflix and loved the Addams family drama, but have you seen the new show starring the actress who played Enid? Yeah, you know, the friendly, cheerful werewolf girl! Turns out, Emma Myers is starring in a new mystery series on Netflix, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder, and it's totally crushing the global chart!
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is a show about Pippa Fitz-Amobi, a teen who's obsessed with true crime. When a murder from five years ago pops up as her school project, Pippa takes it upon herself to crack the case, even though everyone else thinks it's closed. She teams up with the brother of the guy who was convicted of the crime, Sal, because Pippa is pretty sure that he was wrongly accused, you know? It's like a detective novel, only with teenagers, and let's just say it's got all the drama of a good Nancy Drew mystery!
More Than Just a Wednesday Spinoff
You're probably wondering how A Good Girl's Guide to Murder took the top spot on Netflix's charts so quickly. Well, you gotta hand it to Emma Myers, this show's already pretty popular because it's based on the super-popular book series by Holly Jackson. Seriously, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder has been a hit with fans of the book series since the first one came out in 2020.
It also helps that A Good Girl's Guide to Murder has been praised by critics. A lot of people like the way it translates the young adult tone of the book and actually delivers a decent mystery, too! Though, even though critics like it, it hasn't blown the socks off all of the fans. Guess there's no pleasing everyone, huh?
Is It the New Wednesday?
People have been comparing it to Wednesday, which is definitely interesting. A lot of teens and younger folks are recognizing Emma Myers from Wednesday. Plus, both shows are full of mystery, spooky stuff, and intrigue, which is probably why they both caught so much attention.
But to be honest, A Good Girl's Guide to Murder has its own unique vibes, thanks to a great cast and a captivating storyline. So even though Emma Myers stars in both, it's a totally different experience and doesn't depend on Wednesday's success.
A Good Girl's Guide to Murder is Officially a Hit
The show's been a big success, raking in a bunch of views and beating out other popular shows like Cobra Kai! That's not something just any show can pull off, especially for a first season!

People are already wondering about season 2! Luckily, the show already left some unanswered questions to keep the suspense going. We might be waiting a while to hear anything concrete about a release date, but for now, we'll just keep dreaming about new mysteries for Pippa and her detective skills.
