Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short are ready to bring even more laughs and mystery in the upcoming Only Murders in the Building Season Five. The comedy series returns to Hulu on Sept. 9.
In a clip revealing Season Five’s release date, Gomez, Martin, and Short barely make it through the announcement without cracking each other up. Gomez nails her line introducing herself, but then Martin starts laughing while saying his own name. “Why are you laughing at me?” Gomez asks. “I’m not laughing at you, I’m laughing at trying to remember my …” before Short quips, “what, life?” They nail the second take, where Martin delivers the news of the premiere date.
Per a description of Season Five, the crew’s “beloved doorman” Lester (Teddy Coluca) dies under “suspicious circumstances,” which brings out the sleuthing senses of Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez), who don’t think the death was accidental.

“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,” per the Season Five synopsis. “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.”
The cast for the new season also features Michael Cyril Creighton along with special guests including the returning Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, Jermaine Fowler, and more.
