Just one year after the fourth season began airing, “Only Murders in the Building” is back for its fifth season!
Amateur sleuths — who are actually getting pretty good at the whole solving crimes thing — Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) are once again tasked with solving a murder that happened in their very own Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.
The latest victim? If you remember back to the end of Season 4, the trio found the building’s doorman, Lester, dead in the Arconia’s fountain. Just one day before that, the “Only Murders” crew was approached a woman (Sofia Caccimelio, played by Téa Leoni) requesting their help in investigating her husband’s disappearance.
Despite a claim that her husband (who will be played by Bobby Cannavale, in his “Only Murders” debut) has a serious connection to the Arconia, they turn her down, and well… next thing they know, Lester is dead.
Will they find Lester’s killer? There’s only one way to find out. Here’s how to watch the newest season of “Only Murders in the Building” for free.
