Will there be an ‘Only Murders in the Building’ season 5?

Just how many murders can occur in one building?

This article contains mild spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season four.

on-screen and off, for Oliver and his love Loretta (played by Meryl Streep).

However, in typical Only Murders fashion, not everything wraps up quite as neatly as it initially appears, with a mysterious cliffhanger before the final credits implying there will still be another case to solve (no major spoilers from us, folks). So, is the Emmy-winning, critical darling mystery series returning, or like the characters in the series, are we facing an unfortunate, violent end?

Is there a fifth season of Only Murders in the Building in the works?

Co-stars Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin took to Instagram to update fans about the future of the series in a special video on September 4th, just a few episodes into the most recent series.

“We have a very special announcement!” Gomez teased. Short ed in on the genre-appropriate tease, adding, “It involves…….”

“We are coming back for a season five!” exclaimed Steve, with his co-stars rejoicing alongside him.

That’s as official a confirmation as you can get — the cast and crew have announced a new season is coming via a t statement via the verified Only Murders in the Building and Hulu Instagram s.

The trio, however, didn’t offer much insight into when we can expect season five …yet, continuing to tease its fans.

“So when would that be on, 2025?” Steve asked. “I don’t know, we don’t have the date, we’ve got to shoot it,” Gomez replied. “Oh, that!” Steve joked in response.

Other sources, however, offered a little more insight. The Hollywood Reporter stated that there is a ten-episode order for season five, and that the mystery-comedy is eyeing a summer 2025 premiere. The publication also reported that Steve Martin would return as co-showrunner and producer, alongside Gomez and Short as producers.

Deadline reported that Téa Leoni had officially ed the cast for season five, having made a surprise appearance in the season four finale as Sofia Caccimelio, wife of Nicky “The Neck” Caccimelio, whose disappearance had been a point of interest in episode nine.

The entertainment reporter didn’t name any other cast for the new season, although each season has typically brought a new special guest star into the fold – most recently Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, and Zach Galifianakis as fictional versions of themselves.

It is likely that we’ll hear more about more guest stars once filming for the new season commences. Principal photography for season four began in March and ended in June of this year. Given the August 2024 premiere for the current season, this would likely happen again if the reports of a summer 2025 release are in fact true.
