ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING” Season 5: Everything We Know

Hulu's murder mystery comedy “Only Murderers in the Building” has become a staple of early fall television; since its debut in 2021, the N.Y.C.-set series has followed real-life podcasters Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver ( Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) as they investigate (and never consider moving) a series of murders at the pre-war apartment complex Arconia; on August 27, 2024, “OMITB” returns for its fourth season with a star-studded cast, as the trio The show aired simultaneously in two regions, juggling the murder of a close friend and the pre-production of a Hollywood movie based on the hit podcast.

Season 4 is still underway, but Hulu has already released the first news of Charles, Mabel, and Oliver's next investigation. Below, we will follow everything we know so far about “Only Murderers in the Building” Season 5.

That's right! In what is becoming an annual tradition, Variety reported the news of the Season 5 renewal on September 4, 2024, just after the Season 4 premiere aired. According to the magazine, season 5 will air with the same 10 episodes as seasons 1-4.

This good news comes ahead of the 2024 Emmy Awards, where “OMITB” has received 21 Emmy nominations for its third season, including Gomez's first Emmy nomination in the acting category.

In an era when television series take a two- or even three-year hiatus between seasons, “Only Murders in the Building” has stuck to a yearly release schedule since the series premiere in 2021. Based on previous seasons, viewers can expect OMITB Season 5 to come to Hulu in August 2025.

While we will have to wait for the OMITB Season 4 finale to find out which of the cast members will end this season alive and what the mystery will be next season, the return of the series' core cast is highly anticipated. That includes the key trio of Stephen Martin as Charles Hayden Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, and Selena Gomez as Mabel Morra. Fan favorites include Michael Cyril Crichton (Howard Morris), Jackie Hoffman (Uma Heller), and Davine Joy Randolph (Detective Williams).
