Only Murders in the Building season 2 release updates, filming, synopsis, cast and more

The excitement for solving the mystery at Arconia is evident as fans of Only Murders in the Building are already clamoring for season 2 of the hit Hulu series. The mystery-comedy series created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman was officially green-lit for a new season in September 2021. Here’s everything you need to know about the much-anticipated new season of the show.

Only Murders in the Building follows three neighbors who form a peculiar bond over their fixation for true-crime podcasts. Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) soon find themselves solving a real-life murder mystery case of their fellow resident, Tim Kono, and record their own podcast in the process.

Is there a release date for Only Murders in the Building season 2?

There has been no official release date yet for the popular Hulu comedy series. The filming for the new season started in December 2021 and is still going on at the moment. Gomez shared this offscreen picture of her with Short and Martin on Twitter at the end of February.

Once we get confirmation that season 2 has wrapped, we’ll have a better idea of when it could hit Hulu. As of now, it’s entirely possible and likely it’ll come out in 2022. But we’ll keep our eyes out for any new updates regarding the release date.

Only Murders in the Building season 2 synopsis

The finale ended with a major cliffhanger that left the audience wanting more. Here’s what the series co-creator John Hoffman revealed to Deadline about the season 2 synopsis:

"“Our trio is in the hot seat at the end of Season 1. They have to reckon with their relationship with Bunny in the days prior to what happens at the end of the season and there’s a lot that went down. Mabel said some unkind things about her outside of the Arconia.Oliver had a long history of conflict with Bunny. And Charles was deeply offended at the idea of being evicted by her after 30 years. There’s all that plus their connection to true crime and their respective histories which we will learn more about. There’s a lot there we start peeling back that’s built around what happened at the end of Season 1 and leading into 2. It gets more complicated and more fun in weird ways. It also puts pressure on them to solve the case.”"
