Only Murders in the Building Season 4: New Faces Join the Crimefighting Trio

Since its debut on Hulu in 2021, the series has garnered multiple Emmy nominations but has not received the recognition it deserves, particularly in the Comedy Series Writing category for the upcoming 2024 Emmys. Despite this, the show has won four Emmys, with Nathan Lane receiving one for his guest role in 2022. This season, the main cast, consisting of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, has been nominated for the first time, highlighting their exceptional performances as they navigate the complexities of their characters. In Season 4, the trio travels to Hollywood after a movie executive, played by Molly Shannon, expresses interest in adapting their crime-solving adventures into a film. The excitement of the glitzy party she hosts introduces them to actors who will portray them on screen. However, the plot thickens when they return to their New York apartment complex, where a bullet hole in Charles's window raises suspicions of a potential murder targeting him. The narrative intertwines two main plots: the film adaptation and the new murder mystery, reminiscent of Hitchcock's 'Rear Window.' As Charles investigates the behavior of their neighbors, he enlists the help of Oliver and Mabel to uncover the truth behind the bullet hole and the possible threat to his life. The season features a plethora of guest stars, including Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Paul Rudd, and Meryl Streep, alongside newcomers like Jane Lynch and Melissa McCarthy. This influx of talent enriches the storyline, ensuring that the series remains engaging and entertaining for its audience.
