US Edition‘Only Murders in the Building’ review: In Season 5, the future of the building itself is at stake
Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building features the trio investigating their doorman Lester's suspicious death, uncovering hidden secrets and involving notable guest stars in the mystery.
- On Tuesday, the series reunites Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez as Season 5 premieres on Hulu, continuing the mystery of the Arconia doorman Lester's death with new episodes weekly.
- Rejecting the police accident ruling, Oliver , Mabel Mora , and Charles-Haden Savage treat Lester's death as homicide after a severed finger in Oliver's wedding shrimp and missing hands at Lester's wake deepen suspicion.
- A playing card unlocks a hidden door revealing a 1950s-era gambling room under the Arconia with an envelope of cash with blood splatter; Christoph Waltz, Renée Zellweger and Logan Lerman guest star.
- Focusing on doormen, the season foregrounds the doorman profession as a theme, while Mayor Tillman's interest in the podcast invites political intrigue, Steve Martin said.
- Facing larger stakes for the Arconia, Season 5 examines organized crime in 2025 while retaining the show's episodic structure, with TWO murders revealed early in the season.
