The mystery continues in Only Murders in the Building season 4 (Release updates and more)

The finale of Only Murders in the Building season 3 left us on the edge of our seats with its dramatic cliffhanger ending! Fortunately for us fans of this Hulu original series, there wasn’t much suspense about the future of the series. On October 3, 2023, the same day the gripping finale aired, the streamer made the thrilling announcement that Only Murders in the Building would be returning for a fourth season!

Amidst recent labor disputes that sent ripples through Hollywood, the industry weathered a tumultuous storm. However, the clouds have now finally parted, unveiling a promising horizon for the entertainment industry once more. Join us as we dive into the exciting world of Only Murders in the Building season 4 and discover all the essential information you need to know.

We'll probably be waiting a long time for season 4

Anticipation for Only Murders in the Building season 4 is soaring, yet the exact return date for Mabel, Charles, and Oliver remains shrouded in mystery. As of December 2023, Hulu keeps the audience eagerly awaiting the official announcement, though this is pretty understandable considering the recent renewal.

Realistically, the secrecy might be expected, given that the series was only renewed a month ago. That being said, historically the show has favored a traditional summer release, potentially hinting at a similar timeframe for season 4. However, with the resolution of Hollywood strikes and production schedules, a fall 2024 debut seems more likely.

Good news is on the horizon, though! According to the most recent reports, the show’s writers’ room reopened on October 9, 2023, signaling that the gears of production are starting to turn. With the Hollywood strikes now officially behind us, fans can expect the momentum to build toward the production’s kick-off soon!

Release Prediction: Mid-to-late 2024

The heart and soul of the show — Mabel, Charles, and Oliver — played excellently by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, are expected to reprise their roles in the upcoming season! However, the full ensemble for season 4 remains a closely guarded secret.

But, if season 3 is any indicator, we expect there will be some surprising additions. The last season raised the star factor to new heights, featuring Hollywood royalty such as Meryl Streep, Paul Rudd, Jesse Williams, Ashley Park, and Matthew Broderick.

Could season 4 continue this trend, adding even more distinguished names to its lineup? While we can’t provide a full cast list at this time, the tantalizing prospect of big-name additions is enough to stoke our anticipation for another season of murder and mystery!

Here's what might happen in season 4 (spoiler warning!)

The season 3 finale of Only Murders in the Building left us reeling with a jaw-dropping cliffhanger! At Oliver’s afterparty, the unexpected tragedy strikes as Sazz Pataki, portrayed by the remarkable Jane Lynch, is fatally shot while retrieving a bottle of wine from Charles’ apartment. In a chilling and cryptic act, using her own blood, Sazz leaves behind a haunting message before succumbing to her injuries.

The uncertainty surrounding the shooter’s target — Sazz or Charles — is driving us nuts, but it perfectly sets the stage for season 4.

Now, about the episode count – there’s no official word on that yet, but if we follow the pattern of the previous seasons, we can expect around 10 episodes. This format has worked well for the show, giving plenty of room to untangle its complex mysteries.
