Only Murders in the Building renewed for season 5 (Just as season 4 begins!)

As a seasoned gamer of mystery and comedy shows, I can confidently say that the renewal of Only Murders in the Building for a fifth season has me absolutely thrilled! Ever since its debut in 2021, this quirky and captivating series has been a staple in my weekly viewing rotation. The unique blend of humor, suspense, and star-studded cast is simply unparalleled.


The fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” is currently airing, but here’s an exciting twist: Another season filled with mysteries has been announced! The show has been renewed for a fifth season!

Ever since its debut in 2021, “Only Murders in the Building” has emerged as one of Hulu’s most successful original productions. This whimsical mystery-comedy centers around an apartment complex in Manhattan that, surprisingly, has been the scene of peculiar murders. An unexpected trio—Steve Martin as Charles, a fading actor; Martin Short as Oliver, a Broadway producer; and Selena Gomez as Mabel, an artist—join forces to probe these mysteries and record a podcast about them

As a dedicated fan, I’m thrilled to share that the fourth season of our beloved show, Only Murders in the Building, made its grand entrance on August 29, 2024. At this moment, only episodes one and two have been unveiled, but I can’t wait for more! The storyline takes an exciting turn as our trio finds themselves in sunny Los Angeles, where a movie based on their thrilling adventures is being produced. However, the fun quickly turns into mystery when they learn that Charles’ long-time friend and stand-in, Sazz (played brilliantly by Jane Lynch), has been murdered under a tragic misunderstanding – she was mistaken for Charles. Once again, our trio embarks on another gripping investigation to unmask the killer

Starting off with season 4, it was assumed that any renewal updates would come once the season wrapped up. However, unexpectedly, Hulu has already greenlit a fifth season for “Only Murders in the Building.” Co-creator John Hoffman spoke to TV Line about his sense of pride regarding this decision

In this day and age, to have five seasons of anything is extraordinary, and it’s all due to this incredible group. I feel so honored to work with everyone both on screen and off screen on this one. I love the challenge of stepping up each season and doing our best to take a podcast pivot into a whole new world. That’s the other thing: We’re all interested in the ways in which we pivot. Everybody has been of like mind on this one, and it’s a sweet feeling for all of us to have this moment with this show, and know the way that it has landed with the world, and that people have embraced it. It’s overwhelming.

The program has gained popularity due to its entertaining script, witty and amusing conversations, and a host of well-known guest performers. Notable figures such as Nathan Lane, Paul Rudd, and the esteemed Meryl Streep have graced our screens as the girlfriend of the main character, Oliver. This development is exciting for devoted viewers who are intrigued about what season 5 could unveil. What potential themes might it delve into?

What might Only Murders in the Building season 5 be about?

As we dive into season 4, it’s uncertain what direction season 5 might take. Typically, the final scene of each season lays the groundwork for the following year’s narrative. Given that the gang is still trying to understand Sazz’s fate and navigating their adventures in Hollywood, it seems likely that these threads will continue into the next season

One idea that’s been pushed by fans, is to take the adventures overseas, perhaps to Europe. The idea of the trio mixing it up there would be comedy gold and open the door for even bigger name guest stars from the continent. 

It’s possible that production will start as early as 2025, suggesting that Season 5 might premiere on Hulu towards the end of 2025. However, there’s a slight chance it could be delayed until 2026 due to busy schedules of the main cast members, which might push back filming

No matter what happens, fans will have something to look forward to, as the show “Only Murders in the Building will return and continue to offer another year of peculiar mystery-solving from our brave detectives

Only Murders in the Building season 4 streams new episodes Tuesdays on Hulu.
