Only Murders in the Building is returning for its fifth season on 9th September 2025. The upcoming season will investigate the murder of Arconia's doorman, Lester, who, at the end of season four, was found dead in the building's courtyard fountain.
As we get closer to season five's premiere, the show has announced on X that they are launching a podcast called The Only Murders Official Podcast, which will discuss each episode of season five in detail with members of the cast and crew.
About the Only Murders in the Building podcast
It is now common for shows to have a podcast to discuss interesting details behind each episode, fun events at sets, and the creative process. Peacemaker and The White Lotus have now started podcasts that discuss the shows' episodes and behind-the-scenes details. Only Murders in the Building has now joined the group of shows that have a podcast.
The show announced this on X with a video and a caption saying,
Let's talk murder. 🎙️ The Only Murders Official Podcast is here, hosted by Michael Cyril Creighton.
Every week, Michael will take fans behind the scenes of Only Murders in the Building Season 5—unpacking each episode with the cast and crew through never-before-heard stories, hidden details, and playful on-set moments that celebrate the mystery, comedy, and charm of the Arconia. Listen wherever you get your podcasts...
The podcast will be hosted by Michael Cyril Creighton, who plays Howard Morris in Only Murders in the Building. A fun part about this new development is the fact that the show gets its title from a fictional podcast hosted by Oliver, Charles, and Mabel. The trio not only solves the murders that take place in their building, but also records all the details and developments in the cases for their podcast.

After each episode of Only Murders in the Building season five is released, a podcast episode hosted by Michael Cyril Creighton will unpack the episode and all the behind-the-scenes details. These podcast episodes will include guests who are the cast and crew of the show, including Jane Lynch who plays Sazz Pataki, Jackie Hoffman who plays Uma Heller, Teddy Coluca who plays Lester, among others.
As the show returns for season five, a few actors are joining the cast: Logan Lerman as Jay Pfluig, Renée Zellweger as Camila White, and Christoph Waltz as Bash Steed. Other actors joining the cast in unspecified roles are Jermaine Fowler, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Diane West, Bobby Cannavale, and Téa Leoni.
The main cast returning for the upcoming season are Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora, Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard Morris, Jackie Hoffman as Uma Heller, Teddy Coluca as Lester, Meryl Streep as Loretta Durkin, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna Williams.
The fifth season of Only Murders in the Building will premiere on 9th September 2025 on Hulu, and the first four seasons of the show are streaming on Hulu.
