You'll Be Playing Sleuth with 'Only Murders in the Building' Season Five Come Spring — and Here's Your First Look
Yes, there's been another death in the Arconia — and Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz and Keegan-Michael Key are among the season's cast.
Lives don't just thrive in New York City apartment buildings. As Only Murders in the Building keeps showing, sometimes they end, too. Folks connected to the fictional Arconia complex haven't been having a good run in the hit mystery-comedy series, but neighbours and podcasters Mabel Mora, Charles-Haden Savage and Oliver Putnam — as played by Selena Gomez (Emilia Pérez), Steve Martin (It's Complicated) and Martin Short (Grimsburg) — keep investigating their untimely demises, and talking about it. Audiences keep watching, too.
You'll next be viewing the trio's antics and sleuthing along with the series' latest whodunnit scenario from spring Down Under, with Only Murders in the Building setting a Tuesday, September 9, 2025 premiere date for its fifth season. There's no trailer as yet, but the show has unveiled its first-look image, and also enlisted Gomez, Martin and Short in a clip announcing the day to pop in your calendar.

Yes, it's happening again: to continue to live up to its title, there's been another murder in the building. This time, Charles, Oliver and Mabel refuse to accept that the death of a beloved figure was accidental. As they endeavour to prove that's the case, mobsters and powerful billionaires all become involved, as do more Arconia residents.
Michael Cyril Creighton (American Horror Stories) is back among the cast as well, as are Meryl Streep (Extrapolations), Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Bride Hard), Richard Kind (Poker Face) and Nathan Lane (The Gilded Age). Season five also features Bobby Cannavale (Unstoppable), Renée Zellweger (Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy), Logan Lerman (We Were the Lucky Ones), Christoph Waltz (Old Guy), Téa Leoni (Death of a Unicorn), Keegan-Michael Key (Dear Santa), Beanie Feldstein (Drive-Away Dolls), Dianne Wiest (Apartment 7A) and Jermaine Fowler (Sting).

By now, everyone should already well-aware of Only Murders in the Building's setup. Each season, a new murder takes place in the apartment tower that its main sleuthing trio call home. It was true in 2021's season one, then 2022's season two, 2023's season three and 2024's season four.
Also accurate in every season: when Mabel, Charles and Oliver are on the case, a heap of fellow big-name talent both help and hinder their investigations.
There's no trailer yet for Only Murders in the Building season five, but check out the date announcement video below:
