Only Murders in the Building has become a very popular TV series for good reason. Over the course of four seasons and 32 episodes, this show from showrunners Steve Martin and John Hoffman and starring Steven Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez has received acclaim from both critics and audiences alike. Heck, the very first season attained a 100% approval rating over 107 reviews. It’s definitely quite the feat. Even in subsequent seasons, none of the critical reviews dropped lower than 95%. It’s definitely a sign that this live-action mystery-drama is one popular show. Perhaps all of that explains why Hulu is renewing this show for a fifth season.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5: Details

The Hollywood Reporter is reporting that Hulu has renewed Only Murders in the Building for a season 5. The funny thing about this announcement is that season 4 hasn’t even finished airing yet. In fact, it only just aired its second episode, with the finale scheduled to air on October 29, 2024. The fact that Hulu are already announcing a fifth season shows just how much faith they have in the show, really.

As for the nitty-gritty details of this fifth season? Well, all we know for certain so far is that Only Murders in the Building season 5 will have 10 episodes making it up, as all previous seasons have been. Alas though, that’s it. We don’t even have a release date for this upcoming fifth season, although previous seasons have always consistently made their debuts in the summer. Perhaps Summer 2025 is not an unreasonable guess at a release window for season 5.

Until then, you can watch all available four seasons of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu.
