Fans of Only Murders in the Building are counting down the days: Season 5 drops on September 9, 2025, on Hulu, with the first three episodes available at launch and new ones released weekly on Tuesdays until the finale on October 28. This release model allows audiences to dive deep immediately while preserving the suspense that has fuelled the show’s success.
The season starts with a jarring mystery: the beloved doorman, Lester, dies under suspicious circumstances. Charles, Oliver and Mabel refuse to believe it was accidental, and their amateur sleuthing quickly draws them into a web of hidden criminal activity beneath New York’s glittering surface. Their investigation launches them from the Arconia building into the heart of the city’s dark alliances, where billionaires, mobsters and the eccentric residents of the Arconia converge.
Season 5 ups the stakes with a dazzling ensemble cast. Returning stars include Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez and Michael Cyril Creighton, while new faces such as Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Logan Lerman, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler join the mix. The guest lineup is as intriguing as the plot, promising layers of mystery and humour.
