‘Only Murders in the Building’ sets season 5 premiere date

‘Only Murders in the Building’ season 5, starring Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, has set a September release date.

The first three episodes of season 5 of the hit comedy show will premiere on Hulu on September 9.

The streamer will then release new episodes weekly thereafter.

As per the official description, “After their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia.

“The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.”
