Hulu has officially announced the return of its hit mystery-comedy series, Only Murders in the Building, for a fifth season. The show’s official Instagram account shared the exciting news with a striking promotional image featuring the lead trio—Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez—teasing fans with the caption: “We’re back in production! Season 5, here we go!”
The announcement comes just weeks after the explosive Season 4 finale, which wrapped up the murder mystery surrounding Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch) while leaving viewers on the edge of their seats with yet another cliffhanger. Fans had been eagerly awaiting confirmation of the show’s continuation, especially after the series’ signature blend of humor, suspense, and star-studded cameos kept audiences hooked for four thrilling seasons.
Since its premiere in 2021, Only Murders in the Building has garnered widespread acclaim, earning Emmy and Golden Globe nominations for its fresh take on the true-crime genre. The chemistry between Martin, Short, and Gomez has been widely praised, while the show’s ability to weave intricate murder plots with comedy has made it a standout in modern television.
Season 4 took the storytelling to new heights with unexpected twists, including the revelation that Sazz’s killer was none other than Marshall P. Pope (Jin Ha), a former stunt performer turned screenwriter. While many red herrings kept viewers second-guessing, the finale delivered a shocking turn when another death set the stage for Season 5.
Now, with production officially underway, anticipation is higher than ever. Will Charles, Oliver, and Mabel’s next case be their most dangerous yet? Fans will have to wait for the next chapter of Arconia’s murder mysteries to unfold.
