The murders will continue, but in a different building (sort of).
Hulu has renewed Only Murders in the Building for a sixth season, with a big change in locale. After five seasons of solving cases in New York (with a trip to California in season four), the show will film in London for season six. The renewal comes hours after the season five finale premiered on Hulu.
The show’s central mystery-solving trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez (who are also executive producers of the series) are set to return for season six. And as is usually the case with Only Murders, the final moments of season five served to set up the new installment — and (no spoilers here) managed to keep the “Building” part of the show’s title in play.
Only Murders in the Building continues to be one of Hulu’s better-performing shows. Season five premiered Sept. 9, and the series returned to Nielsen’s top 10 original streaming series chart for the premiere week and the following week, racking up just more than a billion viewing minutes over that time. (It fell out of the top 10 in the most recent rankings, for the week of Sept. 22-28.)
John Hoffman and Martin created the series, which comes from 20th Television. Hoffman serve as showrunner and executive produces with Martin, Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith and JJ Philbin.
