Fans want to know if Little Kilton is a real place.
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder is back today (Wednesday, 27th May) and sees Pip Fitz-Amobi (played by Emma Myers) delving into another chilling missing person case.
This time, she’s determined to put predator Max Hastings (Henry Ashton) behind bars, but the disappearance of a key witness, Connor’s older brother Jamie, pushes her investigative skills to the limit.
Based on the bestselling novels by Holly Black, the first series became a huge hit thanks to its addictive, edge-of-your-seat twists and a global release on Netflix.
It is also famously filmed in Bristol and other parts of the West Country, standing in for Pip’s fictional village of Little Kilton.
With six thrilling new episodes now streaming on iPlayer, let’s take a look a little closer at the locations used in the second season.
Where was A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 filmed?
The second series of the popular BBC and Netflix drama was once again filmed around Bristol and Somerset.
Much of the show’s interior scenes are shot at Bottle Yard Studios in Bristol, which reportedly includes the likes of school classrooms, investigation rooms, and darker interiors for the murder-mystery show’s more suspenseful scenes.
Bristol itself was also used for more urban areas of Little Kilton to highlight the second outing’s gritty tone. Clifton Village in central Bristol, including the Clifton Suspension Bridge, can also be seen briefly.
Standing in for the idyllic village of Little Kilton is Axbridge, a small town near Cheddar, Somerset.
The town square, the Old Station and Chestnut Avenue were all closed for filming in 2025, with a memorial, flags, and other decor put up for key scenes including the memorial service which kicks off season two. Axbridge’s St John the Baptist Church can also be seen.
Season two director Asim Abassi confirmed: “We filmed Little Kilton in the town of Axbridge, which is lovely but small, so you get the challenges of a tight-knit community curious about filming. But it is wonderfully quaint and perfect for Little Kilton.”

This includes the brand new UK drama Unchosen, starring Asa Butterfield and Christopher Eccleston.
Another key location this time around is an abandoned manor, which actor Zain Iqbal, who portrays Pip’s boyfriend Ravi, confirms is near Bristol.
And Abassi revealed it was his “favourite” location, adding: “It was originally meant to be something else, but I pushed for it to be a manor, so I am personally attached to it.
“It ended up being a phenomenal location and, to me, captures the essence of season 2.”
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder season 2 is available on BBC iPlayer and internationally on Netflix.
