Per Variety, Myers released a statement on the end of “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.” She said, “I’m very happy that we get to bring everyone Season 3 of ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder.'”
She continued, “Thank you so much to everyone who has given this show love and support throughout! This has truly been an incredible experience, and Pip will be a character I will never forget. Book 3 is my favorite of all the books, so I’m very excited to show everyone what we’ve done. Get ready for a crazy time!”
As fans know, and as Myers stated, the show is based on a series of books by Holly Jackson. Following the news of the show ending, Jackson said, “I am ecstatic that we are able to bring ‘A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’ to its (bloody) conclusion.”
The statement continued, “‘As Good as Dead’ is my favorite of the book series, and it’s by far my favorite season of the show too. You’ll see Pip as you’ve never seen her before. It’s dark, breathless, horrible, and… somehow still manages to be funny. Come on back to Little Kilton for the final time… if you dare.”

It continued, “These three seasons make up ‘The Force Edge Saga.’ Since inception, ‘The Force Edge Saga’ was designed as a movie trilogy disguised as a television series.”
