Following a Hollywood-focused fourth season, Only Murders in the Building heads back to New York in Season 5. This time, the podcasting trio of Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) confronts the mob.
The first trailer for Season 5 hints that the mob may play a role in the murder of the Arconia’s doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca) from the Season 4 finale. The theory about the mob strengthens with the arrival of Sofia Caccimelio (Téa Leoni), whose missing husband Nicky had ties to the Caputo crime family.
The trailer also showcases three billionaires, portrayed by Christoph Waltz, Renée Zellweger, and Logan Lerman, who appear at crime scenes. Oliver labels them as “the new mob of New York.” Their relationship to the “old mob” or to Lester remains uncertain.
New guest stars consist of Bobby Cannavale, Beanie Feldstein, Jermaine Fowler, Keegan-Michael Key, and Dianne Wiest. Returning stars include Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, and Michael Cyril Creighton.
Will the team uncover another murder and seek justice for Lester? How does Nicky Caccimelio’s disappearance tie into Lester’s death? We will discover the answers in Season 5.
Only Murders in the Building debuts Sept. 9 on Hulu.
