The beloved Hulu series Only Murders in the Building is gearing up for its fifth season, set to premiere on September 9, 2025. With its signature blend of humor, mystery, and star power, the show continues to captivate audiences worldwide. Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming season, from its stellar cast to the intriguing plot and exciting new additions.

A Star-Studded Cast Returns with Fresh Faces

The core trio of Only Murders in the Building—Steve Martin as Charles Haden-Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, and Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora—will once again lead the charge, bringing their undeniable chemistry to the Arconia. Joining them is Michael Cyril Creighton as the quirky Howard Morris, a series regular whose charm adds depth to the ensemble. Meryl Streep also returns as Loretta Durkin-Putnam, Oliver’s love interest and now wife, following their wedding in the Season 4 finale. Other familiar faces include Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna Williams, Richard Kind, and Nathan Lane, ensuring continuity for fans.

Season 5 introduces an impressive lineup of new talent, elevating the show’s already star-studded roster. Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Bobby Cannavale, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler join the cast in roles that remain shrouded in secrecy, preserving the show’s tradition of surprise. Téa Leoni, who appeared briefly in the Season 4 finale as Sofia Caccimelio, the wife of the missing Nicky “The Neck” Caccimelio, is confirmed to play a significant role, hinting at a deeper connection to the unfolding mystery.

A New Mystery Unfolds at the Arconia

Following the jaw-dropping Season 4 finale, where the trio discovered the bloodied body of their beloved doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca), Season 5 dives into a fresh investigation. Refusing to accept Lester’s death as an accident, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel embark on a quest that takes them beyond the Arconia’s walls into the gritty underbelly of New York. The official synopsis teases a “dangerous web of secrets” involving powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the enigmatic residents of their iconic apartment building. The season will also explore the evolving divide between the classic New York the trio knows and a newer, more dangerous city emerging around them.

Showrunner John Hoffman has hinted that the mystery may tie back to Oliver’s shady past business dealings, adding a personal stake for the trio. Sofia Caccimelio’s request for help in finding her missing husband, potentially linked to the Caputo crime family, suggests a complex conspiracy that could unravel shocking truths.

Production and Release Details

Filming for Season 5 began in March 2025 and wrapped in June, with scenes shot across iconic New York locations, including The Belnord, which serves as the Arconia’s exterior. The season will consist of 10 episodes, with the first three premiering on September 9, 2025, on Hulu and Disney+ (via JioHotstar in select regions), followed by weekly releases until October 28. A teaser video featuring the trio’s playful banter has already sparked excitement, and fans can expect a trailer soon.

Why Season 5 Is a Must-Watch

With its Emmy-nominated legacy, critical acclaim, and a 96% Rotten Tomatoes score for Season 4, Only Murders in the Building continues to push boundaries. The addition of high-profile guest stars, a gripping new mystery, and the trio’s signature wit promise another thrilling chapter. Whether you’re a longtime fan or new to the Arconia, Season 5 is shaping up to be an unmissable blend of comedy, drama, and suspense.
