Just one year after the thrilling conclusion of its fourth season, the popular mystery-comedy series, “Only Murders in the Building”, is back with an exciting fifth season! Fans can once again follow the amateur sleuths — Charles (played by Steve Martin), Oliver (played by Martin Short), and Mabel (played by Selena Gomez) — as they dive into a new murder mystery set within their own Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.
The new season kicks off with an intriguing plot twist. If you recall the dramatic ending of Season 4, our trio of detectives discovered the building's doorman, Lester, tragically dead in the Arconia’s fountain. Just one day prior, they were approached by a woman named Sofia Caccimelio, portrayed by Téa Leoni, who sought their help in finding her missing husband, Nicky Caccimelio (played by Bobby Cannavale in his debut on the show). Despite her claims of a significant connection to the Arconia, the detectives initially turned her down. However, shortly afterward, Lester's death raises the stakes. Will they uncover the truth behind Lester's murder? Fans will have to tune in to find out!
