Everyone's a Person of Interest in the Latest 'Only Murders in the Building' Season Two Trailer
Murder-mystery fans, rejoice — it’s almost time to get sleuthing again.
If you've binged your way through The Afterparty already this year, and watched Death on the Nile as well, then you might be in the market for a new murder-mystery fix. Here's one puzzle that's easy to sleuth, because the answer is set to arrive via Disney+ — thanks to the return of instant 2021 favourite Only Murders in the Building.
One of last year's surprises and delights — one of last year's best new shows, in fact — this gem weaves true-crime podcasting into the mix, too, all via a very funny murder-mystery comedy. And, thanks to the latest sneak peek at its second season, following other teasers and trailers back in March and May, Only Murders in the Building looks set to continue as it left off.
We're never too far away from a new murder-mystery in some shape or form, of course, and Only Murders in the Building's new batch of episodes knows it, tasking its central trio of NYC neighbours-turned-sleuths (and true-crime podcasters) with investigating a second killing. This time, though, the three key residents of the fictional Arconia in New York are suspects, as well as subjects of a competing podcast.
Only Murders in the Building focuses three New Yorkers: actor Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin, It's Complicated), theatre producer Oliver Putnam (Martin Short, Schmigadoon!) and the much-younger Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez, The Dead Don't Die). They're all addicted to a podcast hosted by the fictional Cinda Canning (Tina Fey, Girls5eva), and find themselves unexpectedly bonding over it, in fact. And, when someone turns up dead in their building, they decide that they can sleuth their way through the case by getting talking themselves.
That's how the first season panned out. Now, in season two, Charles-Haden, Oliver and Mabel are weathering the fallout. Complicating their efforts are a trio of factors: their public implication in the death in question; that new podcast about them and this murder; and the suspicions of their neighbours, who think they're guilty.
Exactly how that'll play out won't be unveiled until Tuesday, June 28, when Only Murders in the Building returns — but you don't need to be an amateur detective to know that it's bound to be both amusing and twisty.
Whatever happens, both Cara Delevingne and Amy Schumer are involved, with the pair joining the cast as guest stars. And, as the new sneak peek shows, Fey is back as well.
