A September Premiere… With a Screaming Start
The official announcement is out—Only Murders in the Building Season 5 premieres on September 9, 2025. Indian audiences can catch the thrills on JioHotstar, with three blood-curdling episodes dropping on day one, followed by weekly spine-chilling releases.
The beloved trio of quirky detectives—Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short)—is back in their haunted Manhattan apartment building, uncovering twisted truths behind another cryptic killing. This time, though, the stakes are higher, and the murder… eerier.
What’s So Funny About Murder?
Expect ghostly giggles and twisted turns as Season 5 fuses razor-sharp wit with unnerving suspense. In a teaser video that’s both creepy and hilarious, Gomez delivers a flawless line before Martin breaks character with laughter. “Why are you laughing at me?” she asks. “I don’t remember who I am,” Martin jokes. Martin Short deadpans, “What, life?”
This eerie blend of humor and horror is the secret sauce of Only Murders in the Building, and fans can expect more of that in the upcoming season.
New Faces in the Dark
Joining the Arconia investigation this season are a range of hauntingly talented stars:
- Renée Zellweger
- Christoph Waltz
- Bobby Cannavale
- Logan Lerman
- Keegan-Michael Key
- Ta Leoni
- Dianne Wiest
- Jermaine Fowler
- Beanie Feldstein
Meanwhile, fan-favorite characters played by Meryl Streep, Nathan Lane, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Richard Kind will return for another spine-tingling chapter.
Critical Acclaim Meets Ghoulish Glam
The series has already racked up major award buzz ahead of its release. Only Murders in the Building is nominated for Best Comedy Series at the 77th Emmy Awards, and its leads — Gomez, Martin, and Short — are in the running for acting awards. Notably, the episode My Best Friend’s Wedding is up for Best Direction and Best Writing.
What Horrors Await at the Arconia?
Each season of Only Murders has left audiences on the edge of their seats — laughing nervously one minute, holding their breath the next. With a larger ensemble, heightened suspense, and deeply personal plotlines promised, Season 5 is expected to dig deeper into Arconia’s haunted past — and perhaps even into the hearts of its beloved sleuths.
So grab your earbuds, prepare your podcast setup, and don’t trust your neighbors — because murder is about to make its creepiest comeback yet.
