Only Murders In The Building Season 4 Release Date, Trailer, Plot and Cast
The makers of Only Murders in the Building are sticking to the tradition of the series: as usual, the new season is released a year after the premiere of the previous one. This summer, the trio of detectives will not only unravel another criminal mystery, but also go on a special mission to Hollywood.
The season 3 finale dropped on October 3, 2023, and on the same day, Hulu greenlit the next installment of the beloved series. The show’s third season ended on a huge cliffhanger. The stakes have risen in the series β it seems that in the fourth season the protagonists will not only solve crimes, but will fight for their lives.
Here’s what we know about the next episode of Only Murders in the Building. In the US, you can stream all three seasons of the series on the Hulu website. UK fans can watch the show on Disney+.
Only Murders in the Building Season 4 Release Date
The fourth season is coming Tuesday August 27, 2024, on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK.
New episodes are released every week.
The first season was released at the end of August 2021. Season 2 followed in June 2022, and Season 3 arrived in August 2023. As you can see, the individual seasons appear at intervals of about a year.
Only Murders in the Building season 4 trailer
Here’s the official trailer in its entirety, which shows that Hollywood wants to buy the rights to the podcast… although it will have to be for the right price:
Only Murders in the Building season 4 plot
Spoilers for season 3 below.
Season 3 ended in a way no one could have predicted, and as far as we know it had nothing to do with the revelation of Ben Glenroy’s killer.
It turned out that someone may have been trying to kill Charles-Haden Savage. While the rest of the guests were enjoying Oliver’s musical premiere party, Charles’ stunt double Sazz Pataki popped into his flat. Moments later, she was shot by a sniper rifle and was last seen bleeding on the ground.
It is very likely that Charles was supposed to be the victim, but the killer confused him with his stunt double. Charles has put his life in danger before, when Jan Bellows tried to poison him in the first season. However, the addition of a sniper could mean that this was a hired job.
The alternative is that Sazz was the intended target, but at this point we don’t know why that might be the case.
The question is: is this act connected to previous crime mysteries or an entirely new criminal affair? We also don’t know for sure that Sazz is dead β we should learn more in the coming months.
Craig Erwich, president of the Disney Television Group, revealed in an interview with Collider that the characters will leave New York for Los Angeles in season 4. It’s all because of an offer the trio received: Hollywood filmmakers want to make a movie about their podcast.
Erwich says:
Well, I’m really excited to see Steve, Martin and Selena take a little break from the apartment complex and come to Los Angeles. So in the same way that John Hoffman used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique Only Murders version will be applied to Los Angeles, which I’m very excited about . about.
Only Murders in the Building season 4 cast
At the heart of the series are the trio of tireless podcasters and amateur detectives: Oliver Putnam, Charles-Haden Savage and Mabel Mora. Martin Short, Steve Martin and Selena Gomez will respectively star as these characters.
We will also see the return of Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard Morris and Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna Williams. Season 4 could also feature Tina Fey as cynical podcaster Cinda Canning, James Caverly as Theo Dimas and Ryan Broussard as Will Putnam, Oliver’s son.
After the release of the first trailer, we will definitely see it Meryl Streep again starring as actress Loretta Durkin. At the end of season 3, the door to an acting career opened for her. Despite Lorreta’s relationship with Oliver, she decided to follow her dreams. However, it looks like the trio will meet her again in Hollywood.
That also came true Jane Lynchwho plays Sazz Pataki will be back in season 4, although this could be through flashbacks.
Of course, the fourth season won’t be without cameos. The cast will also include:
- Molly Shannon
- Eva Longoria
- Melissa McCarthy
- Eugene Levy
- Kumail Nanjiani
- Zach Galifanakis
- Richard Sort
That’s unlikely Paul Rudd will return unless the series creators have planned flashbacks.
It’s hard to say if Jesse Williams will return as Tobert, the cameraman and Mabel’s love interest. As mentioned above, he has been offered a job in Los Angeles, and as we know, Mabel has had no luck with previous relationships.
