Only Murders in the Building is returning for Season 5 following the success of its current season. Announced today, the Hulu series will be back for another 10 episodes of comedy and death with stars Steve Martin , Selena Gomez, and Martin Short all expected to return as the trio of real-crime lovers who are unable to avoid being embroiled in the shady goings-on in and around their own apartment block.
Only Murders in the Building became an immediate hit when it debuted in 2021. Arriving during the Covid pandemic, when many people were discovering the very type of podcast that features heavily in the series, audiences took very little time to bond with Charles, Oliver, and Mabel – Martin, Short, and Gomez, respectively – and their sleuthing adventures in their New York apartment block. The first season continues to hold a 100% Tomatometer score on Rotten Tomatoes, and audiences were very much on the same page, approving the show with a 93% Popcornmeter score.
Subsequent seasons have not dropped the ball, continuing to deliver incredibly strong reviews from both audiences and critics alike. Although the story is driven with ease by its star trio, Only Murders has been frequented by a conveyor belt of guest stars that has included some of the biggest names in Hollywood. From Nathan Lane and Sting through to Meryl Streep, Season 4 has continued the trend of attracting big names, with TheShockNews of familiar faces this time around including Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, and Melissa McCarthy.
