Only Murders in the Building season 5 is highly anticipated by fans, especially on the heels of Steve Martin announcing that he plans to retire following the conclusion of the series. If you’re not familiar with the show, Only Murders in the Building is a sweet, funny, and interesting comedy about a small group of people who live in an apartment building called the Arconia. The series follows Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles Haden-Savage (Steve Martin), and Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) as they live their lives, somehow at the center of murder investigations.

Romance, podcasts, murder, and podcasts about murder are just a few of the elements of life at the Arconia, which is why we’re so excited to see any development on Only Murders in the Building season 5. When Steve Martin strongly hinted that he would be leaving the business, fans were concerned. Rightfully so, the show is a comforting slice of life that brings closure to its storylines where we wouldn’t normally get it in real life. He has since clarified that he may work a little less, maybe, once Only Murders reaches its conclusion.
With that tucked away, fans have been waiting patiently for any news regarding the 5th season, and we’re finally starting to get little glimpses into what that might entail. Meryl Streep is returning as Loretta Durkin, spotted on set recently exchanging a smooch with co-star Martin Short. The duo will be reprising their roles as newlyweds this season, alongside a developing cast of memorable names.
Other Announcements
Meryl Streep isn’t the only name confirmed for the cast of season 5. Officially announced on the show’s Instagram in March, Renée Zellweger has been confirmed as part of the cast, followed closely by Logan Lerman, Keegan-Michael Key, and Tea Leoni. While the castings have been officially announced and confirmed, the specifics of the characters they’ll be playing are being kept secret. With such a star-studded and talented cast, season 5 stands only to continue the tradition of being truly interesting, artistic, and well-made television. We can’t wait to see what the Arconia has in store for us this time. Just kidding, we already know it’s another murder.
