*Warning: This article contains full spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season 3.*

At last, the eagerly anticipated fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” has arrived! It picks up where the thrilling season 3 finale left off.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll get answers to all our lingering queries since new episodes from the series will air weekly on Disney Plus. The cast members claim that this season is going to be exceptional.

Previously, Steve Martin (portraying Charles-Haden Savage) expressed his belief that the upcoming season might be among their finest yet, and now the ensemble has grown to an impressive array of stars.

Apart from Meryl Streep returning as Loretta Durkin, Season 3 also welcomes fresh faces such as Zach Galifianakis (famous for The Hangover trilogy), Kumail Nanjiani (from Welcome to Chippendales), Eugene Levy (Schitt’s Creek), Eva Longoria, previously seen on Desperate Housewives, and Melissa McCarthy (known for her role in The Little Mermaid) into the OMITB universe.

Absolutely, they are adding our three familiar faces – Martin Short, Steve Martin, and Selena Gomez – to the cast, along with some fresh newcomers, details of whom are shared below.

However, with the arrival of a new season, it comes as something of a surprise that Jesse Williams’ character, Tobert, will no longer be featured on the show, as he himself revealed to People: “I am no longer part of that series.”

In the fourth season, the characters leave The Arconia and explore Los Angeles since a film studio is interested in creating a movie based on their popular podcast trio. However, amidst this opportunity, they must simultaneously unravel the mystery surrounding the murder of Sazz Pataki (portrayed by Jane Lynch). The latest trailer offers tantalizing glimpses into these engaging storylines.

John Hoffman, the creator, hinted that the sixth episode of the new season takes an unusual turn compared to the usual. He explained this to The Hollywood Reporter: “Episode six is our bold, experimental step we took, which essentially stemmed from a deep exploration of film and cinema throughout the seasons, examining what they’ve achieved.”

“Since movies are relatively new, having existed for just over a century, I decided to explore the concept of an entire episode shot using only cameras. Let’s see if this approach yields an interesting viewing experience.”

When, precisely, does the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building” debut, and which cast members will rejoin the series? To learn further details, continue reading below for an inside look at the upcoming season 4.

Without the dynamic trio of Steve Martin as Charles, Martin Short as Oliver, and Selena Gomez as Mabel, Only Murders in the Building wouldn’t retain its unique charm, would it? We can expect these talented stars to reprise their roles in season 4.

In the upcoming chapter, I’m eagerly looking forward to joining my peers in Los Angeles. It’s going to be thrilling to witness our group adapt to a fresh setting, as we navigate the dazzling world of Tinseltown.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Meryl Streep’s character, Loretta, will reappear. Here’s hoping her journey with Oliver goes smoother in this new season.

20th Television president Karey Burke confirmed Meryl Streep’s return for the next season, stating that Streep enjoyed her experience so much during the previous one. She shared this news on The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast.

Initially, Mabel and Jesse Williams’ character, Tobert, were pondering about their shared future in LA during the season 3 finale. However, it has since been made clear that Williams won’t be reprising his role for season 4.

This season, we’re excited to introduce several fresh faces to the series! Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, and Kumail Nanjiani have all been added as recurring characters. Zach Galifianakis is also joining the cast, although his role hasn’t been specified as recurring yet. However, he plays a pivotal part in this season’s investigation, contributing significantly to its twists and turns.

Another newcomer joining the cast is Molly Shannon, known for her role in “The White Lotus.” She will portray a successful Los Angeles businesswoman who becomes entangled in an investigation in New York City, as reported by Deadline.

Additional actors joining the cast are Desmin Borges known from “You’re the Worst”, Siena Werber star of “Brand New Cherry Flavor”, newcomer Lilian Rebelo, Richard Kind, Daphne Rubin-Vega, comedian Catherine Cohen and Jin Ha who was featured in “Pachinko”.

In the opening episode of season 4, there was a guest appearance by Scott Bakula, an actor famous for his work on shows like Quantum Leap, Star Trek: Enterprise, and NCIS: New Orleans.

These are the cast members confirmed to star in Only Murders in the Building season 4:

  • Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage

What will happen in Only Murders in the Building season 4?

Only Murders in the Building season 4: Release date and latest news

Regarding the upcoming events in Season 4, just like before, specific plot points are being kept secret. However, it seems quite likely that the narrative will revolve around Sazz’s murder, given that the bullet that appears to have killed her was actually intended for Charles. This raises the question: who might be targeting him?

Instead of focusing on a Broadway show murder for its third season, it seems that the cast from “Only Murders in the Building” will be exploring Los Angeles next time around. Previously discussing the move to LA for season 4, co-creator John Hoffman told Deadline: “We are considering if there’s a hint of Los Angeles incorporated in small amounts. We’ll see.”

“It’s also my hope, since there are more chapters to come, that the heartwarming connections forged throughout the series aren’t concluded with a full stop. The evolving dynamics and emotional responses to these personal bonds have been fascinating to witness.”

As a film enthusiast, I find myself questioning my decisions lately, especially since I’ve found myself entangled with characters who leave me wondering, “Have I gotten mixed up with someone dangerous and ruthless?” The suspense is exhilarating, leaving the audience guessing and forming their own theories. It’s fascinating to see how the plot unfolds in ways that are softer, more surprising than they initially seem.

In the third season, the bond between the trio was significantly strained because Mabel had differing opinions about how Oliver and Charles were handling their investigation into Ben Glenroy’s (Paul Rudd) homicide. Consequently, she chose to pursue the case independently, even teaming up with her love interest, Tobert, in an effort to unravel the mystery.

Could our friendship face another trial? It seems that season 4 might just put us to the test! In the early episodes, we’re heading to Hollywood as a studio offers us a chance to turn our hit podcast into a film. Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, and Zach Galifianakis will be starring in this tale, but they’ll also be stepping into the roles of Mabel, Charles, and Oliver for the big screen adaptation.
