AceShowbiz - "Only Murders in the Building" has been renewed for a fifth season at Hulu. The acclaimed comedy series will feature 10 episodes, in line with previous seasons.
The show stars Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short as a trio of amateur sleuths investigating murders in their Manhattan apartment building, the Arconia. Season four introduced a star-studded cast, including Meryl Streep, Jane Lynch, Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Richard Kind, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani and Molly Shannon.
"Only Murders in the Building" has garnered critical acclaim and a total of 49 Emmy nominations to date. Season three alone received 21 nominations, including Best Comedy Series and recognition for Martin, Short and Gomez in lead acting categories.
In season four, the trio investigates the murder of Charles' stunt double, Sazz Pataki (played by Lynch). The series takes a cross-country journey, traveling from New York to Los Angeles and back, as the investigators delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia's residents.
Season five will likely follow a similar format, with a new murder occurring within the Arconia. The specific details of the plot have yet to be announced, but given the show's track record, viewers can expect a blend of mystery, humor and star power.
A release date for season five has not been confirmed, but if the show follows its previous release pattern, it is likely to premiere in the summer of 2025.
