Netflix’s A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 did not waste time turning sleepy English streets into full-on crime obsession territory. While viewers were busy following Pip’s latest investigation and trying to figure out who could possibly be hiding secrets this time, many ended up distracted by the series’ filming locations instead. The second season somehow made quiet towns look suspicious, cosy, chaotic, and tourist-worthy all at once. Honestly, if a village has this many mysteries happening in one postcode, the local property prices should probably be dropping instead of becoming holiday bucket list material.
Adapted from Holly Jackson’s bestselling novel Good Girl, Bad Blood, the second season continues Pip’s story after the Andie Bell case completely changed her life. The fictional town of Little Kilton returns as the emotional centre of the series, hiding more tension behind postcard-perfect streets and old brick buildings.
Production for the 2026 Netflix thriller reportedly began in April 2025 before wrapping around July, with additional filming continuing later that year. As expected with major Netflix productions, several exact locations were intentionally kept quiet during filming to avoid crowds disrupting production. Considering how intense fandom culture gets these days, that decision probably saved at least three headaches and one traffic disaster.
The heart of the series was once again filmed across Somerset, England, particularly in the historic town of Axbridge. The town returned as the main stand-in for fictional Little Kilton, and honestly, it fits the mood perfectly.

Axbridge has the kind of old-English charm that looks peaceful until somebody disappears and suddenly every local café feels suspicious. The production transformed areas around The Square, Chestnut Avenue, and several residential streets into central locations for Pip’s investigation.
Crews reportedly decorated parts of the town with colourful flags, temporary murals, altered street lighting, and various props to give Little Kilton a slightly heightened fictional atmosphere without losing its grounded British identity.
One location fans immediately recognised was the historic Oakhouse Pub, which became part of several key scenes throughout the season. The traditional pub setting added exactly the sort of small-town tension the series thrives on.
You can practically imagine locals pretending not to gossip while absolutely gossiping. The production also used Axbridge Old Station, giving parts of the mystery a more isolated and eerie visual tone. The station’s preserved railway atmosphere worked surprisingly well with the series’ darker emotional moments.

Several scenes were also filmed around Cheddar Gorge, adding dramatic countryside visuals to the season. The towering limestone cliffs and winding roads gave certain sequences a much larger cinematic scale compared to the quieter village settings.
Fans online quickly started identifying the landscape after trailers dropped, with many joking that Pip somehow manages to investigate crimes in places that look suspiciously ideal for Instagram travel reels.
Production reportedly expanded further into Wells, one of England’s smallest cities, where additional exterior shots were captured around the cathedral district and older residential streets.
The medieval architecture added another layer of timeless British atmosphere to the series. Some viewers even said the locations made the town feel “too beautiful for this much emotional damage,” which honestly feels accurate after watching the season unfold.

The series also returned to Bristol, where major interior work was completed at Bottle Yard Studios. The studio has become one of the UK’s busiest production hubs and allowed the team to create more controlled environments for complicated sequences.
Several school interiors, investigation rooms, and darker suspense-heavy scenes were reportedly shot there. Bristol itself also appeared on-screen through selected urban shots that contrasted nicely with the quieter Somerset backdrop. The city’s slightly rougher modern energy gave parts of the season a more grounded and realistic feeling.
Additional filming took place around Clifton Village and the iconic Clifton Suspension Bridge, both of which briefly appear during transitional sequences and wider city shots.
Fans online quickly picked up on the locations, with some saying the contrast between beautiful architecture and constant emotional chaos perfectly matches the show’s entire personality.
Parts of the series were also filmed in London, particularly for scenes connected to the wider media attention surrounding Pip’s investigations. London’s busier atmosphere added scale to the story and reinforced how much Pip’s life has changed since the first season.

Several scenes reportedly used areas around South Bank, Camden, and parts of Greenwich, giving the series a more expansive visual identity beyond Little Kilton’s quieter streets. Meanwhile, Surrey became another important production base for the series.
Known for its film-friendly infrastructure and polished suburban landscapes, the county hosted multiple outdoor and residential scenes throughout filming. The production also utilised Shepperton Studios, one of the UK’s most famous studio facilities.
With decades of film history attached to it, the studio handled several technically demanding sequences for the season. Some fans online were genuinely surprised by how seamlessly the series blended studio work with real-world locations, especially during the more emotionally intense scenes.
Additional filming reportedly extended into areas around Guildford and Farnham, both of which brought more classic English countryside visuals into the series.
The tree-lined roads, stone buildings, and quieter suburban areas helped maintain the unsettling “something is definitely wrong here” atmosphere that the show constantly leans into. Somehow every beautiful location in this series feels one awkward conversation away from revealing another secret.

Online reactions to the filming locations have been surprisingly intense. Some viewers praised the production for making England’s smaller towns feel cinematic without losing authenticity, while others joked that the series has accidentally become free tourism marketing for Somerset.
Several fans on social media admitted they started searching train tickets immediately after finishing the season, even though the show spends most of its runtime proving these places are emotionally exhausting to live in. Others loved how realistic the locations felt compared to overly polished thriller series that make every town look artificially perfect.
There has also been growing discussion around how the locations themselves almost function like supporting characters in the story.
From quiet cemeteries to narrow village streets and cosy pubs filled with tension, the series uses its settings to constantly remind viewers that danger in A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 rarely arrives with dramatic warning signs. Sometimes it just appears behind a perfectly normal-looking café window while somebody awkwardly sips tea pretending their life is not collapsing.
With its mix of historic villages, dramatic countryside landscapes, major studios, and modern city locations, A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder Season 2 turned England into one giant mystery map for fans to obsess over.
And judging by audience reactions, many viewers are already adding these filming spots to future travel plans. The real question now is whether you would actually survive a week in Little Kilton without uncovering somebody’s secret by accident.
