"Murder at the Arconia has become as seasonal as changing leaves and Pumpkin Spice Lattes, an annual comfort food as kids go back to school and the temperatures drop. The undeniably talented writers' room on this Hulu hit understands the assignment, rarely straying much at all from a proven formula of high-powered guest stars and twisting mysteries. Since the successful launch of this clever blend of old-fashioned humor and podcast culture in 2021,"
"The fifth season opens with the trio, once again, at carefully constructed crossroads. Oliver (Martin Short) has the most upheaval, planning to move in with his wife, Loretta ( Meryl Streep), possibly even somewhere other than the Arconia. Mabel (Selena Gomez) no longer lives there but is around enough to make it seem like she does, even as she wonders if her favorite place is moving on. Charles (Steve Martin) seeks something to spark his final chapter,"
Only Murders in the Building season five continues the show's seasonal ritual, keeping its formula of high-profile guest stars, twisting mysteries, and sharp comedic timing. The three leads—Charles, Oliver, and Mabel—face personal crossroads: Oliver plans to move in with his wife Loretta, Mabel no longer lives at the Arconia but remains present, and Charles experiments with dating apps seeking a new chapter. The season picks up the unresolved case of doorman Lester’s bloody death, officially ruled an accident, prompting the podcast hosts to reexamine evidence after they discover something upsetting in a leftover shrimp cocktail.
