Will Charles, Oliver and Mabel be investigating another mystery? *Warning – contains full spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season 3*
*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season 3.*
It’s now been a few months since the latest mystery was solved on the Upper West Side of New York, in the third season of Only Murders in the Building.
The season finale of the show’s latest run saw Cliff unmasked as Ben’s killer, while it also set the stage for a future mystery, as Charles’s understudy Sazz was shot by an unknown assailant, just as she was seemingly about to divulge some pertinent information.
This tease suggested a change of location to Los Angeles in season 4, and now, according to Disney Television Group President Craig Erwich, that is what appears to be happening.
He told Deadline: “I’m very excited to see Steve, Martin and Selena take a little break from the apartment building and come to Los Angeles.
“So in the same way that John Hoffman used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique Only Murders take will be applied to Los Angeles, which I’m really excited about.”
When it comes to cast, Eriwch said he didn’t “have anything to share” about the potential for Meryl Streep to return, but he did say that he thought “she gave one of the best television performances of the year last year”.
But when is the new season likely to arrive on our screens, and who else from the cast could return?
Will there be an Only Murders in the Building season 4?
Yes! It has been confirmed that a fourth season of Only Murders in the Building is coming to Disney Plus (and Hulu in the US).
Disney Plus confirmed in an Instagram post that a fourth season has officially been green-lit.
“Only Murders in the Building is coming back for season 4! Let the investigating begin…” the caption read.
We would imagine that we should hear more regarding the future of the show in the coming months, and will make sure to keep this page updated with any new information as soon as we get it.
Only Murders in the Building season 4 release date speculation
So far, all three seasons of Only Murders in the Building have stuck to a fairly regular release schedule, with season 1 releasing in August 2021, season 2 in June 2022 and season 3 in August 2023. However, given the impact of the SAG-AFTRA strike last year, this year’s season could be somewhat delayed.
Regardless, the earliest season 4 could arrive would be Summer 2024. We’ll keep this page updated once we have a sense of the timeline for Only Murders in the Building season 4.
Who could return for Only Murder in the Building season 4?
We would certainly expect Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez to be back as Charles, Oliver and Mabel in season 4.
We would also expect to see scenes featuring Charles’s stunt double Sazz, played by Jane Lynch, given that it appears her murder will be the central mystery of season 4.
Whether anyone else returns is still up in the air, plus we would expect some currently unannounced guest stars to join the cast.
Here are the cast members we would currently expect to return for Only Murders in the Building season 4:
- Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage
- Martin Short as Oliver Putnam
- Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora
- Jane Lynch as Sazz Pataki
