In exciting news for fans of the hit Hulu mystery-comedy series, Only Murders in the Building, a tease for its highly anticipated fourth season has been revealed by Disney executive Craig Erwich. Speaking at the Television Critics Association's Winter 2024 press tour, Erwich, who oversees Hulu as the President of Disney Television Group, shared his thoughts on the scripts he's read for season 4, expressing his excitement by stating, 'I can tell you, I've read the first four or five scripts for Only Murders [season 4] and they're incredible.'
For those who followed season 3 closely, the focus centered around the death of actor Ben Glenroy, portrayed brilliantly by Paul Rudd. Throughout the season, suspicions pointed towards Loretta Durkin, played by the talented Meryl Streep, as the potential culprit. However, the finale served up some surprising twists and set the stage for a thrilling new investigation.
It was eventually revealed that the killer of Ben Glenroy was Cliff, portrayed by Wesley Taylor. The shocking discovery unraveled after Ben discovered Cliff's mother, Donna (played by Linda Emond), had attempted to poison him earlier. While Only Murders in the Building season 3 received mostly positive reviews, some critics felt that the identity of the killer was predictable, dampening the impact of the conclusion.
The season 4 of Only Murders in the Building has an opportunity to captivate audiences once again. In a significant development, the character Sazz, portrayed by Jane Lynch, is killed by a sniper. The intriguing question arises as to whether Charles, one of the main trio played by Steve Martin, was the intended target of the dangerous shot. Furthermore, speculation suggests that Charles, Mabel (Selena Gomez), and Oliver (Martin Short) may split their time between New York and Los Angeles.
While specific details about the casting and plot for season 4 remain under wraps, the potential of exploring new locations and the fallout from Sazz's tragic demise provide a promising foundation for another thrilling installment. Only Murders in the Building, available to stream on Hulu, stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as three true crime enthusiasts residing in a luxurious New York apartment building. Together, they venture into solving the murder of one of their neighbors, documenting their journey on their very own true crime podcast.
As the trio delves into the mysteries surrounding the building residents, they soon realize that the reality of crime-solving is far from the glamor and simplicity portrayed in their favorite podcasts. Each revelation uncovers the interconnectedness of their lives with the mysteries they seek to unravel, adding layers of intrigue and suspense to the series.
With the promise of incredible scripts and the potential for exciting new storylines in season 4, Only Murders in the Building continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of mystery, comedy, and superb performances from its star-studded cast. Stay tuned for more updates on the highly anticipated return of this beloved series.
