What is the Release Date for Only Murders in the Building Season 5?
On September 4, 2025, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez announced Only Murders in the Building will return for a fifth season.
During a video announcement, Steve Martin said, “We are coming back for a season five,” and Gomez commented, “We hope you like it.”
When discussing the release date, Martin asked, “So, what would that be on? It would be 2025,” and Gomez said, “We don’t have the date. We’ve got to shoot it.”
If the release pattern of the past seasons is anything to go by, season five of Only Murders in the Building will arrive on TV screens in August 2025, as it has aired every August since 2021.
Who Will Appear in Season 5?
Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short are highly likely to reprise their roles as Mabel, Charles, and Oliver for season five of Only Murders in the Building.
It has been announced that Téa Leoni will join the show as Sofia Caccimelio, who has turned to the trio to help with the mysterious disappearance of her husband.
It is thought Meryl Streep will return for season five as Oliver’s love interest, Loretta.
It is unclear if Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Zack Galifianakis will return to play themselves in season five.
What’s the Plot?
Season five is likely to pick up from the season four finale, which resulted in Mabel, Charles, and Oliver finding the bloodied body of Lester, the building’s doorman, in the Arconia fountain.
For this reason, the trio will likely investigate his death, hoping to find his killer and bring them to justice while boosting their podcast figures.
Also, season five might see the gang become stars following the release of the Only Murders in the Building movie starring Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, and Zack Galifianakis.
As mentioned, season five will also include the new character Sofia, meaning the trio’s time might be split between two cases.
John Hoffman, the Only Murders in the Building showrunner, recently told Variety, “I know the killer. I know the story. We are now breaking the fourth episode of season five, so we have a pretty good handle on it all. There is always a wish to look into a new world, and hopefully with a real New York bent. The show has always been about classic-meets-modern.”
Can I Watch an Official Trailer?
As production hasn’t started on season five of Only Murders in the Building, there currently isn’t an official trailer available. It is likely to drop closer to its release date.
Where Can I Watch Only Murders in the Building Season 5?
Only Murders in the Building season five will likely drop on Hulu in August 2025. It is likely to air weekly until the show’s finale. Alternatively, you can watch it on Disney+.
