On this day in 2021, the first episode of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ premiered on Hulu. A decade after coming up with the concept for the show, Steve Martin joined longtime collaborator Martin Short and Selena Gomez to form a trio of amateur sleuths. The eccentric neighbors bond over their shared love of true crime podcasts. They team up in hilarious fashion to solve murders in their Upper West Side apartment building. ‘Only Murders in the Building’ set a Hulu comedy-premiere record, with demand peaking at 37 times the norm in its first season.
