‘Only Murders In The Building’ Season 4: Everything We Know So Far

As Martin Short says in the recently released Only Murders in the Building Sesaon 4 trailer, “somewhere lay a sniper’s nest,” and the identity of that sniper will prove even more difficult to discover in the latest installment of Hulu’s murder mystery series, which has expanded its star-studded cast quite a bit.

Instead of Season 3’s players — Ashley Park, Paul Rudd, Jesse Williams and more — Season 4 recruited Molly Shannon , Eva Longoria , Eugene Levy , Zack Galifianakis , Richard Kind and Kumail Nanjiani before the trailer dropped to reveal Melissa McCarthy had also joined the fourth installment. Desmin Borges (You’re The Worst), Siena Werber ( Brand New Cherry Flavor) and newcomer Lilian Rebelo ( Our Dear Drug Lord) will appear in recurring roles, as well as Daphne Rubin-Vega , Catherine Cohen and Jin Ha.

What is Only Murders in the Building Season 4 about?

Season 4 will investigate the mysterious murder of Zazz Pataki, Charles’ Brazzos stunt double, whose death made up Season 3’s ending cliffhanger.  The Season 4 description complicates Sazz’s death when the trio questions whether Sazz or Charles was the intended victim.

‘Only Murders In The Building’ Renewed For Season 4 By Hulu

As the trailer teases, the Arconia residents are “going to the movies” or as Oliver affectionately calls them, “the pictures” because a Hollywood studio wants to make a movie based on the Only Murders in the Building podcast. The bicoastal action only ramps up from there as the newly cast faces are introduced, drama ensues on set and the three original podcasters ride in a limo snacking on what looks like In ‘N’ Out as Charles tries to jog pedestrians’ memory about Brazzos . Shannon’s entertainment lawyer asks them for their life rights in a pink power suit at the end of the trailer.

According to the season’s description, the amateur sleuths race back to New York to embark on an even more epic journey — traversing their building’s courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia’s West Tower residents.
