Just over a week after the Season 4 launch, it’s announced the brilliantly funny ‘Only Murders in the Building‘ has been renewed for a 5th Season by Disney/Hulu.
From the minds of Steve Martin and John Hoffman (‘Grace and Frankie’), the series follows three strangers (Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez) who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth.
The renewal should really be that much of a surprise given the show has been piling up a ridiculous amount of award nominations. It has 49 total Emmy Award nominations so far, with the current season landing 21 Emmy nods. It also has over 206 nominations with 32 wins across various awards from the TCA, WGA, Satelite, Producers Guild, Peabody, MTV, Golden Globes and a host of others.
In the current fourth season, Charles, Oliver & Mabel wrestle with the shocking events at the end of season three surrounding Charles’ stunt double & friend Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch). Questioning whether Sazz or Charles was the intended victim, our trio’s investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast. As our amateur sleuths race back to New York, they embark on an even more epic journey – traversing their building’s courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia’s West Tower residents.
Michael Cyril Creighton, Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Jane Lynch also reprise their roles alongside Martin, Short and Gomez. They are joined by special guest stars Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, Melissa McCarthy, Richard Kind, and more!
‘Only Murders in the Building’ hails from co-creators and writers Steve Martin and John Hoffman (‘Grace & Frankie’, ‘Looking’). Martin and Hoffman executive produce along with Martin Short, Selena Gomez, ‘This Is Us’ creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal. The series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.
‘Only Murders In The Building‘ Season 4 premieres Tuesday, 27th August 2024 on Disney+ UK and on Hulu in the USA.
