Only Murders in the Building: Hulu Series Set to Return for Season 5
Hulu's Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez-starring Only Murders in the Building will be returning for a ten-episode Season 5.
It appears our crime-solving trio will be back for more sleuthing, with Hulu giving an official green light for a 10-episode fifth season of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez-starring hit series Only Murders in the Building. The news comes a little more than a week after the fourth season premiered (with the season finale set for October 8th) and as we head into Emmy Awards season – with the streaming series receiving 21 nominations (and a total of 49 nominations across the three previous seasons).
During the fourth season of the hit Hulu series, our amateur podcasting crew finds itself wrestling with the shocking events at the end of the third season surrounding the murder of Charles' (Martin) stunt double & friend, Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch). Questioning whether she or Charles was the intended victim, their investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles – where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast. As Charles, Oliver & Mabel 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.
Along with Gomez, Martin, Short, and Lynch, the fourth season also stars Eugene Levy (Schitt's Creek) as "Charles," Zach Galifianakis ("The Hangover" films, Between Two Ferns) as "Oliver," and Eva Longoria (Deadly Housewives, Flamin' Hot) as "Mabel." That's right, our trio gets to meet their on-screen counterparts. In addition, this season saw Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, Melissa McCarthy, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, Richard Kind, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Catherine Cohen, and Jin Ha joining the cast – with Meryl Streep returning as Loretta Durkin. Hailing from writers and series co-creators Martin and John Hoffman, Hulu's Only Murders in the Building is produced by 20th Television (a part of Disney Television Studios) – and executive-produced by Martin, Hoffman, Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, and Jess Rosenthal.
