In an exciting development for fans of the hit series, Only Murders in the Building has officially been renewed for a sixth season. This announcement comes hot on the heels of the season five finale, which premiered on Hulu just hours prior. Known for its unique blend of comedy and mystery, the show promises to deliver more thrilling storylines as it shifts its filming location to London.
After five successful seasons set primarily in New York City, with a notable detour to California during season four, the upcoming season will see the beloved characters navigating a new backdrop in London. This change in locale is sure to introduce fresh elements to the series while retaining the core themes that fans adore.
The series will see the return of its central mystery-solving trio: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. All three actors are not only stars of the show but also serve as executive producers, ensuring that their vision for the series continues to flourish. As is typical for Only Murders in the Building, the conclusion of season five set the stage for the upcoming season, cleverly maintaining the "Building" aspect of the show’s title while hinting at new adventures.
Only Murders in the Building continues to be one of Hulu’s standout shows, consistently performing well in viewership ratings. Season five debuted on September 9 and quickly made its mark by re-entering Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series chart during its premiere week. Over the course of the following week, the series accumulated over a billion viewing minutes, demonstrating its popularity among audiences.
The series was created by John Hoffman and Martin Short, under the production of 20th Television. Hoffman serves as the showrunner and is involved in the executive production alongside Martin, Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith, and JJ Philbin. This talented team is dedicated to crafting engaging narratives that keep viewers on the edge of their seats.
As anticipation builds for season six of Only Murders in the Building, fans can look forward to more intriguing mysteries, captivating performances, and the delightful blend of humor and suspense that has made this series a favorite on Hulu.
