Hey there, true crime and comedy fans! If you’re like me, you’ve been eagerly waiting for the next installment of Only Murders in the Building. Season 4 is just around the corner, and the anticipation is real. The beloved trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez is back, and this time, they’re bringing even more mystery, humor, and drama to the Hulu series. So, grab your popcorn and let’s dive into what we know so far!
What’s the Plot for Season 4?
Season 4 picks up right where the jaw-dropping season 3 finale left off. Spoiler alert for those who haven’t caught up yet—there’s a major character death that sets the stage for the new season. In the final moments of season 3, Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz Pataki, was tragically shot and killed in Charles-Haden Savage’s apartment at the Arconia building. As fans of the show know, nothing is ever as it seems in this world of mystery and intrigue. Now, Charles, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora find themselves not only trying to solve the murder of Sazz but also dealing with the unexpected opportunity to turn their wildly popular murder-mystery podcast into a full-blown movie.
As the trio heads to Hollywood for the movie production, they’re faced with a whole new set of challenges. In the film adaptation, Charles will be portrayed by the legendary Eugene Levy, Oliver by Zach Galifianakis, and Mabel by the stunning Eva Longoria. Talk about star power! The trailer hints at the possibility that the shooter wasn’t aiming for Sazz but might have been targeting Charles instead. This revelation adds another layer of suspense and intrigue to the story.

With their lives potentially in danger, the group bands together to solve the mystery while navigating the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. It’s going to be a wild ride!
Who’s in the Cast for Season 4?
The cast of Only Murders in the Building continues to grow with some incredible new additions. Joining the lineup are Richard Kind, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani, and Molly Shannon, each bringing their unique talents to the show. These fresh faces promise to add even more depth and excitement to the unfolding mystery.
Of course, we can’t forget about the returning favorites like Da’Vine Joy Randolph and the incomparable Meryl Streep. Even though Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz, met an untimely end in the previous season, she’s not completely gone. In a recent interview with People, Jane teased her continued presence in the new season. “I’m in it a lot,” she revealed in May 2024. “I’m in five out of ten episodes, so I’m excited!”
Her character will appear in flashbacks, providing crucial insights into the ongoing investigation. “Well, I’m the murder victim, which is not a tease,” she shared. “And so I have some really great flashbacks.” It’s going to be fascinating to see how these moments unfold and how they tie into the larger story.
How Can You Watch Season 4?
Mark your calendars, folks! The first episode of season 4 will premiere on Hulu on August 27, 2024, with new episodes dropping weekly. This season will consist of ten episodes, keeping fans glued to their screens as the story unfolds. It’s a perfect way to spend your evenings, unraveling mysteries alongside Charles, Oliver, and Mabel.
Creator John Hoffman has expressed his amazement at the incredible chemistry between Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, both on and off-screen. “The thing we could never have predicted was that comedic alchemy that occurred among the three actors,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in August 2023. “We absolutely knew we were going to head right there and to the comedy gold of that. The other part was that I think we knew, but I think we were even ourselves surprised by the depth that all of them were able to reach dramatically.”
