‘Only Murders in the Building’ Is Officially Ditching the Building for Season 6

by

Beware – this article reveals major plot points from the season 5 finale of Only Murders in the Building! The show has been renewed for another season, and it looks like things are about to get a lot more international. As the fifth season ended, viewers wondered if the show might be ending too, especially with the future of the Arconia building uncertain. Thankfully, the building was saved, and the residents won’t have to move. However, a surprising turn of events introduced a new murder mystery that will send Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) across the ocean.

Hulu has announced that Only Murders in the Building will return for a sixth season, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. The news follows closely after the Season 5 finale, which was available on Hulu and Disney+ on October 28th. A post on the show’s official Instagram confirmed that the core three characters will be leaving New York City and heading to London. Season 6 will again have ten episodes, continuing the format of the previous five seasons.

The fifth season of Only Murders in the Building ended with a major surprise: Cindy Canning (Tina Fey), the podcast host who initially connected the main characters and frequently appeared on the show, was found dead. The finale showed she was investigating a case in London that went wrong. She managed to return to the Arconia building, barely making it inside, seemingly trusting Oliver, Charles, and Mabel to solve the mystery if she died on the property – and knowing they couldn’t ignore a death within the building.

Because Only Murders in the Building is so closely associated with its New York setting, moving the action elsewhere is a big shift. While it pushes the characters outside their usual environment, it’s a smart move to avoid repeating storylines – the show itself has acknowledged how many crimes have happened in the building! Taking the story to a new location, especially Europe, is a common tactic for sequels, as seen in films like The Muppets, Spider-Man, National Lampoon’s Vacation, and Garfield. Now, even TV shows are doing it, with Emily in Paris recently moving its latest season to Rome to offer a fresh setting.

Many popular shows now make fans wait two years, or even longer like with Stranger Things, for new seasons. However, Only Murders in the Building has been consistently released every year since it started in 2021. Unless there are unexpected issues, we can anticipate Season 6 arriving in 2026.
