The young actor plays teen sleuth Pippa \u2018Pip\u2019 Fitz-Amobi in the BBC\u2019s upcoming adaptation of the hit Holly Jackson novel, in which a true crime enthusiast attempts to solve a murder that took place in her hometown five years earlier.<\/p>\n
The high-profile role comes hot on the heels of Myers\u2019 success on Wednesday, where she played<\/a> the comically colourful Enid opposite Jenna Ortega\u2019s distinctly gothic Wednesday Addams.<\/p>\n Speaking to RadioTimes.com<\/a> and other press, Myers suggested that Pip has more agency and initiative than Enid, throwing herself head-first into her detective work rather than taking cues from others.<\/p> \u201cIt\u2019s different because I\u2019m now leading this show and doing the investigating myself,\u201d she explained. \u201cEnid does do some investigating but she\u2019s not really the one putting things together. She just kind of tags along.\u201d<\/p>\n However, the conversation stopped there as Myers was careful not to get herself in trouble by divulging information about the upcoming second season, which is currently in the works with Ortega and director Tim Burton returning.<\/p>\n \u201cI can\u2019t really say much about season 2 other than we\u2019ve got a great new cast [and] I love the scripts,\u201d she said. \u201cThat\u2019s all I can say, otherwise we\u2019ll never see me again [laughs].\u201d<\/p>\n In an interview with the BBC, Myers expanded on what drives Pip to delve into a dangerous cold case as well as detailing the ways in which the story develops into far more than your typical young adult drama.<\/p>\n \u201cShe doesn\u2019t believe [the person] who was accused of it did it,\u201d she said. \u201cSo she goes on this mission to uncover it herself. Along the way she finds out lots of twists and turns, secrets and some bad people.<\/p>\n \u201cThe show starts with this warm, happy tone, just a girl trying to do a school project. But as Pip uncovers clues, stories, it takes a shift. The show deals with a lot of themes of racism, sexual assault, and drugs and abuse.\u201d<\/p>\n Myers added: \u201cThe way the show handles these topics, is important. The way the story is told, is heartbreaking to be honest with you. It\u2019s not the happy little town that people think it is.\u201d<\/p>\n A Good Girl\u2019s Guide to Murder is coming to BBC iPlayer on Monday 1st July. <\/strong><\/p>\n Check out more of our Drama<\/a> coverage or visit our TV Guide<\/a> and Streaming Guide<\/a> to find out what\u2019s on. <\/strong>For more from the biggest stars in TV, listen to\u00a0The Radio Times Podcast<\/a>.<\/b><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n Pip doesn’t intend to just “tag along”. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":53620,"template":"","categories":[1,5],"acf":[],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-scaled.jpg",2560,1707,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/56\/2024\/06\/wednesday-star-emma-myers-on-how-a-good-girls-guide-to-murder-role-differs-to-enid-2048x1365.jpg",2048,1365,true]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Pip doesn't intend to just \"tag along\".","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/53619"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/53620"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=53619"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/radiotimes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=53619"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"Pip](\"https:\/\/images.immediate.co.uk\/production\/volatile\/sites\/3\/2024\/06\/good-girls-guide-727ad60.jpg?quality=90&resize=619%2C413\" "\\"A")
