The comedy-mystery show Only Murders in the Building is one of the most anticipated shows on international OTT platforms, offering a witty mix of whodunit intrigue with incisive comedy regarding a general web of podcast sleuths – Charles, Oliver, and Mabel – known as the podcasting sleuthing team. After the shocking cliff-hanger at the end of Season 5, fans are ready for Season 6, where they will see a new location, new chaos, new characters, new celebrity cameos, and new twists as they follow the podcast’s story into another year.

Only Murders in the Building Season 6: Release Date Rumors

Earlier this year, Hulu announced they have officially renewed Only Murders in the Building for Season 6, starting October 28, 2025. The final episode of Season 5 aired the same day.

Currently, no premiere date has been provided. However, production could begin in late 2026 or may have already started, depending on recent reports. The main filming will take place in London. Based on the release patterns of prior seasons, which generally debut in the late summer to early fall range and taking into consideration time needed for filming plus editing/production time, most sources believe that the beginning of Season 6 will premiere around late 2026likely between October and November. Several sources suggest it may take longer due to production schedules; however, it does not appear that it will be sometime in early 2027. As of mid March 2026, none of the sources have given any updates on specific dates for the premiere, so there’s no announcement yet from Hulu.

Only Murders in the Building Season 6: Cast Updates

The core trio is confirmed to return:

– Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage
– Martin Short as Oliver Putnam
– Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora

The podcast sleuths will be back on the air, now looking for clues in other countries besides the US. Guest stars and recurring cast members from the last few seasons (for example, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Meryl Streep, Michael Cyril Creighton, and a number of other actors) have not been confirmedother than the three lead roles. New recurring and guest stars related to this new setting in London are expected, but no announcement has yet been made.

Only Murders in the Building Season 6: What to Expect Next

The sixth season will have the usual ten episodes, like the past five seasons of the show. The major difference is that instead of New York’s Arconia, Season 6 will take place in London (where they will film Season 6). This directly connects to Season 5’s last episode, when Cinda Canning/Tina Fey introduced a new podcast from the United Kingdom and her likely killer (or someone who looks like her). The trio will make their way to England to figure out the new mystery with many more exciting new mysteries, new characters, and new international celebrity cameos. The show will continue to have the mix of all three types of comedy, the ‘who-done-it’ twists, and character-based stories, but may also have some newer dynamics with the same characters abroad.

The show is still a hit, so the many recent nominations at the Golden Globes have helped create a lot of excitement for the new season. Make sure to keep an eye on Hulu or the official Hulu channels; there’s bound to be more excitement for the new season in the near future!
