Only Murders in the Building is back for its hotly-anticipated fourth season, with fans saying the latest instalment could be the ‘best one yet’. Available to stream now, the new season sees Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez reprise their roles as true crime podcasters investigating a series of mysterious deaths.
In season four, the trio wrestles with the shocking events from the end of the previous season with Charles’ stunt double and friend Sazz Pataki. Questioning whether she or Charles was the intended victim, their investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast.
As Charles, Oliver and Mabel race back to New York, they 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.
