Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez will solve another murder at the Arconica in a season 5 of Only Murders In The Building.
One of the most delightful surprises of the last few years has been the runaway success of Hulu’s (Disney+ in the UK) Only Murders In The Building.
Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, the show follows Charles Haden-Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), three neighbours in a luxury New York City apartment conplex called the Arconia, who form an unlikely bond as they come together to record a true crime podcast about the surprisingly high number of murders of their fellow residents which keep occuring in the building, for which they are continually framed.
The warmth and wit of the writing combined with the chemistry between the three has ensured that the show is among the most streamed on the platform, and it has so far received 49 Emmy nominations and four wins.
It’s also worth saying that Martin and Short’s stand up/variety special An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life, a wonderful throwback to the insult comedy made famous by the likes of Don Rickles in the 1950s and 1960s, is available to watch on Netflix.
The fourth series, which also features Meryl Streep, Jane Lynch, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifinakis, Richard Kind, Kumail Nanjiani and Melissa McCarthy among many others, is currently airing weekly on Disney+.
According to Deadline, the show has been renewed for a fifth series, so we can expect the mystery to be set up at the end of the current run. The new series will consist of ten episodes.
You can watch all episodes of Only Murders In The Building on Disney+.
