Only Murders in the Building – Season 5 Premiere Date! [2025]

The fifth season of “Only Murders in the Building” welcomes viewers back to the ever-charming and slightly chaotic Arconia apartment, starting with the shocking death of Lester, the beloved doorman. Old friends Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) reunite amidst a backdrop of new suspects and returning faces, with a high society twist involving the New York mob and billionaires. The show alternates skillfully between slapstick comedy and moments of genuine poignancy, especially as it explores how the Arconia’s community reacts to threats both internal and external. Guest stars like Téa Leoni bring new dimensions to the story, while the core trio continue their podcasting adventures with a borrowed dose of self-awareness and eccentricity.


Season five builds on previous themes—loneliness, class tensions, and the bittersweet realities of city life—while keeping its tongue planted firmly in cheek. The mystery remains convoluted and less about perfect logic, but the series makes up for it with its warm humor, lively pacing, and a sense of comfort that belies its morbid trappings. As a cozy mystery, its biggest success is finding heart and humor in unusual places, contrasting the opulence of the building with the very real vulnerabilities of its inhabitants.
