Emma Myers continues to prove herself as one of the most compelling young actresses of her generation. Whether audiences discovered her through Wednesday or now through season two of A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder, she brings a rare mix of strength, vulnerability, and emotional intelligence to every role.
During our London cover shoot, Emma fully embraced the world of directional RTW looks by Chloe & Kenzo, which were something visually different from her on-screen work with such ease. Beyond the camera, what stood out most was her kindness, professionalism, and grounded energy throughout the day.
In season two, Pip becomes far more than a teenage investigator. As the story explores bullying, manipulation, and emotional pressure, Emma brings real depth and empathy to the role, making the series feel both timely and emotionally resonant. It’s the kind of performance that confirms she has a very exciting career ahead of her.

Pip goes through so much emotionally this season: grief, fear, pressure, and constantly putting herself in danger for the truth. What part of her journey connected with you the most personally?
I really connect with her drive and passion to finish what she starts. Just like Pip, I often feel guilty and responsible for things happening around me and feel like I have to solve everything myself in order for life to go on.

One of the most inspiring things about Pip is how fearless she becomes when everyone around her wants her to stop asking questions. What do you think gives her that strength?
Her strong sense of justice. Pip is very willful and won’t stand for those around her being wronged. Also, her love for others keeps her motivated throughout this season.

Pip is incredibly smart, but she also follows her instincts and emotions in a way that sometimes gets her into risky situations. Was it fun playing a character who’s constantly walking that line?
Always a fun time playing Pip. The situations she gets herself into are amusing, and I really enjoy playing her when she’s a little unhinged.
This season touches on some very real issues: manipulation, social pressure, bullying, and young women trying to protect each other. Did those themes affect the way you approached the role?
You always want to treat these issues with respect and portray them in an educational light. It definitely makes you approach your character (and show up) with a lot of care.

What I love about Pip is that she notices everything. She almost feels more emotionally intelligent than the adults around her. What do you think makes her such a good investigator?
She’s very pushy! If she knows something is not right, she will get her answer one way or another. I love the fact that she won’t back down.
Even when things get dark, Pip still has warmth and heart. Was keeping that emotional side of her important to you while filming this season?
Absolutely. I never want her to be one note the entire time. She cares deeply about her friends and family. Her emotions are central to the story.

Some of the scenes this season feel genuinely intense and emotionally exhausting. Were there any moments that really challenged you as an actress?
I wouldn’t say there was a particular moment. The entire season was quite taxing and definitely a challenge, but I welcome it. A lot of this season was physical as well. I often went home at the end of the day feeling drained.
You play Pip so naturally that it’s easy to forget you’re actually American. What was the process like stepping into this very specific English small-town world and finding her voice and energy?
I worked with my amazing dialect coach. There’s no way I could have done it myself. The way Pip speaks is very specific, so I had a dialect session every day to make sure I was on track. Also, spending so much time living in England helps.

Fans love both Pip and Enid because they each have this outsider energy while still being incredibly loyal and brave in very different ways. Do you see any similarities between the two characters?
They both are very assertive! Both always somehow get what they want, even if it seems impossible.

So many younger viewers connect deeply with Pip because she refuses to stay silent when something feels wrong. What do you hope people take away from her story this season?
I just hope this season brings awareness to the issues we address in the show. Also, learning to stand up for what you believe in and, if you can help someone in need, do what is best.
