Production has begun on the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building. In a post on social media, Hulu announced that Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are back at work making a series about a podcast about yet another murder. Along with sharing the news that the show is in production of its fifth season, some key art was also revealed.
The fourth season of Only Murders in the Building saw the podcasting sleuths traveling to California to make a movie and then investigate murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch) who was Charles’ (Steve Martin) stunt double and friend. This led to questions about if she was the intended victim. It also led to a whole new part of the Arconia with a whole new group of inhabitants. The end of the season also ended with yet another murder at the Arconia.
The plot of season five of the series is currently unknown. Who the guest stars will be in this series also isn’t known. Undoubtedly, names will begin being released in the coming weeks and months of actors that will be joining the season. Season four saw the three main podcasters get Hollywood versions of themselves for their movie. The guest stars in these roles for their movie were Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek) as movie Charles, Zach Galifianakis (The Hangover films, Between Two Ferns) as movie Oliver, and Eva Longoria (Deadly Housewives, Flamin’ Hot) as movie Mabel. Other guest stars included Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, Melissa McCarthy, Desmin Borges, Siena Werber, Lilian Rebelo, Richard Kind, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Catherine Cohen, and Jin Ha. Meryl Streep also made her return as Oliver’s love interest, Loretta Durkin.
A release date for season five of Only Murders in the Building has not been revealed yet. The series is written by co-creators Steve Martin and John Hoffman and executive produced by Martin, Hoffman, Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, and Jess Rosenthal. It is produced by 20th Television (a part of Disney Television Studios).
