Only Murders in the Building co-creator John Hoffman has revealed the season 2 opening titles include hidden “clues”, with a new clue added for each episode.
The mystery comedy series, which has return for a second season on Disney Plus, stars comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short alongside pop star Selena Gomez, with their characters teaming up to solve a murder.
Speaking about the title sequences, Hoffman said that he and his team “were very thoughtful when planning them out”.
“I just love them [the title sequences] so much,” he said. “And we were very thoughtful when planning them out. We worked with an unbelievable company, Elastic, who have done all of your favourite opening title sequence[s]. Game of Thrones, they did [that one]. So here they are doing this.

“But also, I should note in season 2, we continue a thing we did in season 1, which many people didn’t know about, but there are clues in those opening titles that are dropped in,” Hoffman added.
“In each episode, there’s one clue that’s a little different in each opening title that you can find. So it’s another little mystery for viewers to look out for, [there are] some Easter eggs in there.”
The series was also co-created by Martin, who previously worked in family fare with the likes of Cheaper by the Dozen and The Pink Panther.
However, Only Murders in the Building is darker (although still a comedy), following three true crime podcast fans as they attempt to solve a murder that takes place in their apartment block.
