Guess Who’s Dying Next? Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Premieres September 9

The wait is almost over. If you’ve been twiddling your thumbs wondering when Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez will grace your screen again with their murder-solving podcast antics, the answer is finally here. The Only Murders in

the Building Season 5 premiere date has officially been revealed, and fans of the quirky Hulu hit can start counting the days.

With a killer mystery set to unfold, new A-list guest stars joining the fray, and the promise of more laughs (and probably a few unexpected deaths), Season 5 is shaping up to be anything but boring. Here's everything you need to know, from the confirmed release date to casting news and plot teases.

When Does Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Premiere?

Drumroll, please. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 will premiere on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Hulu is kicking things off with a bang by releasing the first three episodes all at once. That means fans won’t have to wait to get deep into the new mystery.

After that binge-worthy trio, expect weekly episodes every Tuesday leading up to the season finale on October 28. Yep, Hulu is making your fall TV schedule a little more suspicious.

What Can Fans Expect in Season 5?

Let’s just say the Arconia is not done serving drama.

Season 5 picks up after the events of the shocking Season 4 finale and centers around a new mystery that hits very close to home — the suspicious death of Lester, the Arconia’s beloved doorman. Talk about bad building karma. Our podcasting trio, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez), are back with their signature blend of nosiness, accidental sleuthing, and unexpected emotional depth.

If you thought solving crimes in a fancy Manhattan co-op couldn’t get more chaotic, think again.

Who’s Returning and Who’s Joining the Cast?

Besides our beloved core trio — who clearly cannot go a season without someone dropping dead in their building — Season 5 brings in some fresh (and famous) faces.

Returning Cast:

• Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage

• Martin Short as Oliver Putnam

• Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora

These three are obviously going nowhere. And honestly, without Oliver’s over-the-top theater kid energy, what’s the point?

New Guest Stars:

• Keegan-Michael Key

• Christoph Waltz

• Renée Zellweger

• Téa Leoni

Yes, you read that right. Season 5 is going full A-list. Whether these new characters are suspects, victims, or just wonderfully eccentric residents of the Arconia remains to be seen. But let’s be real — with Christoph Waltz in the mix, there’s a 90 percent chance someone’s hiding something shady behind a charming smile.

Where Can You Watch Season 5?

Like previous seasons, Only Murders in the Building Season 5 will be available to stream exclusively on Hulu in the United States. For those outside the US, Disney Plus (via Hulu on Disney) will carry the show in international markets.

So yes, whether you're in New York or New Zealand, you'll be able to follow the madness — as long as you’ve got a subscription and a strong stomach for comedy mixed with murder.

Will the Murder Podcast Continue?

Absolutely. The fictional podcast within the show has become as iconic as the trio themselves. Based on behind-the-scenes teasers and a few cheeky comments from the cast, it looks like our heroes will continue recording their amateur investigations, bad mic etiquette and all.

If Season 4’s ending proved anything, it’s that these three should probably never live near another crime scene. And yet... here we are.

Is This the Final Season?

Nothing has been officially confirmed yet, but there’s buzz that Season 5 might be the final chapter for our true crime-obsessed neighbors. With Steve Martin previously hinting at retirement and the show’s arcs starting to come full circle, it wouldn’t be shocking if this season wraps things up. Of course, with TV, never say never. Especially when murders keep happening in the same building.

Bring on the Bodies and Banter

With Only Murders in the Building Season 5 officially hitting screens on September 9, 2025, fans have a lot to look forward to. From a brand-new whodunit to a packed celebrity guest list and the unbeatable chemistry between Martin, Short, and Gomez, this season promises to deliver everything we love about the show — murder, mayhem, and misguided amateur sleuthing.

So go ahead and mark your calendars. Stock up on snacks. And get ready to hear Oliver yell something wildly dramatic while Mabel rolls her eyes. It’s almost time to return to the Arconia, where the bodies keep showing up and the podcast never stops recording.

Still not caught up? You’ve got time to binge Seasons 1 through 4 before the September premiere. Just don’t get too attached to any of the new characters. In this building, you never know who’s next.
