The beloved Hulu series “Only Murders in the Building” has been renewed for a fourth season, and fans are eagerly awaiting what comes next for our favorite trio of amateur sleuths: Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short).
New Setting and Plot Twists
Season 4 promises a change of scenery as Charles, Mabel, and Oliver head to Los Angeles. This shift was teased in the finale of Season 3, where Loretta (Meryl Streep) accepted a job in L.A. However, the heart of the mystery remains tied to New York City’s Arconia, where Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz Pataki, was shockingly murdered. The new season will focus on unraveling the mystery behind Sazz’s death, with the trio returning to their roots to solve this intricate case.
Returning and New Cast Members
Alongside the main cast, viewers can expect to see familiar faces like Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton), Will (Ryan Broussard), and Uma (Jackie Hoffman). Additionally, the new season is set to introduce a host of new characters played by Hollywood heavyweights such as Eva Longoria, Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy, Kumail Nanjiani, Zack Galifianakis, Richard Kind, and Melissa McCarthy. The inclusion of these stars is sure to bring fresh dynamics and humor to the already stellar ensemble.
Production and Release Date
While an official release date has not been confirmed, production is well underway. Filming began in March 2024, following the end of the WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes in late 2023. If the timeline follows that of previous seasons, we can anticipate a release in late 2024. Previous seasons have typically aired in the summer, so fans can likely expect a similar schedule.
What to Expect in Season 4
Season 4 will delve into the consequences of the trio’s podcast and its impact on their lives and the lives of those around them. The murder of Sazz, who was mistaken for Charles, introduces a new layer of danger and complexity. The showrunners have hinted that this season will explore the repercussions of the trio’s investigative antics and how their amateur detective work affects their personal relationships and the community around them.
