Only Murders In The Building Season 5: Everything We Know

If you're here, chances are you've finished Only Murders in the Building Season 4 and are looking for scoop on Season 5. That's where TVLine comes in!

In October, we hopped on Zoom with series co-creator John Hoffman in an attempt to find out all we could about the series' next murder mystery — and you can find all his answers here. Arconia doorman Lester is dead, the dry-cleaning king of Brooklyn has disappeared, and surprise guest star Téa Leoni may or may not be involved.

There are also questions surrounding the return of Meryl Streep — especially now that Loretta has flown off to New Zealand to resume production on her Grey's Anatomy spinoff, right after marrying Oliver — and who may be cast as the aforementioned dry-cleaning king, Nicky "The Neck" Caccimelio. Plus, Only Murders seems to have a habit of killing off Paul Rudd, only to revive him, time and time (and time) again....

So, what happens next? What follows is the official logline for Season 5. Then scroll down for up-to-date intel on Only Murders in the Building.

After their beloved doorman, Lester, dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia. The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.

The Only Murders in the Building Season 5 cast includes recurring cast members Meryl Streep (Loretta Durkin), James Caverly (Theo Dimas), Teddy Coluca (Lester the Doorman), Jane Lynch (Sazz Pataki), Richard Kind (Vince Fish), Nathan Lane (Teddy Dimas), Téa Leoni (Sofia Caccimelio) and Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Detective Donna Williams) — all of whom join series regulars Steve Martin (Charles-Haden Savage), Martin Short (Oliver Putnam), Selena Gomez (Mabel Mora) and Michael Cyril Creighton (Howard Morris).

The Only Murders in the Building Season 5 cast includes franchise newcomers Beanie Feldstein; Bobby Cannavale, who it would appear has been cast as Nicky Caccimelio; Jermaine Fowler, who plays an Arconia doorman; Keegan-Michael Key, who has been elected Only Murders' mayor of New York City; Dianne Wiest as Lester's widow, Lorraine; and Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz and Renée Zellweger as Jay Pflug, Bash Steeg and Camila White — three of the richest people in the world.

Only Murders in the Building Season 5 will premiere Sept. 9 on Hulu. Three episodes will be released on premiere day, followed by one new episode every Tuesday, culminating in an Oct. 28 finale. You can watch a trailer, first released on Aug. 12, by clicking here.
