On the show's official Instagram account they confirmed back in October 2023 that they'd be back by posting a picture of the famous trio in front of a season four poster. They captioned it: "Only Murders in the Building is coming back for Season 4! Let the investigating begin."
There are a lot of new faces coming to this season, including Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria and Schitt's Creek's Eugene Levy. So, when will Only Murders in the Building series four come out, who will be in the cast and what will happen? Here's all the info so far.
When is the Only Murders in the Building season four release date?
Only Murders in the Building series four doesn't have a confirmed release date just yet. Series three came out in June 2022 and they wasted no time in starting work on series four, and rumours online have estimated that we can expect the new season to air mid to late 2024.
However, things might have been delayed due to the SAG Strikes which went on for over four months in 2023.
Who's in the cast of Only Murders in the Building season four?
Of course, the main cast will be returning to series four after Selena, Steve and Martin quickly became everyone's favourite crime-solving trio when they first burst onto our TV screens together.
It's also been announced that Meryl Streep will be reprising her role as the Loretta Durkin in the series. Speaking to TV Line, the show’s creator John Hoffman revealed that Meryl told him, “I can’t wait for season four!” when they wrapped season three.
However a few new very exciting faces have been added to the list, first and foremost the incredible Molly Shannon who you may recognise from The White Lotus, but Molly's had a long career in film and television, appearing in the likes of; Will & Grace, Promising Young Woman, Wet Hot American Summer: 10 Years Later to just name a few.
She'll be joining the cast of Only Murders in the Building as a "high-powered LA businesswoman who finds herself drawn into the world of the investigation" in New York City according to Deadline.
Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria has reportedly joined the cast of Only Murders in the Building. According to Just Jared she'll have a recurring role. We don't yet know who she’ll play as the plot details are being kept under wraps!
Comedian Eugene Levy, from Schitt's Creek, is also joining the star-studded cast for season four. Variety reports that Eugene‘s role will be recurring, but that's as far as their details go.
Eternals actor Kumail Nanjiani is also joining the cast and while there aren’t many public details about his character, it has been said that he is going to be “integral to this season’s investigation”.
Zach Galifianakis is another fresh face in the cast, as he joins Only Murders in The Building for its fourth season. Similar mystery hangs around the character he is set to play, but Variety have said he’s important “to the twist and turns of this season’s investigation”.
According to Deadline, Desmin Borges will also appear in the next season of the show. They also report that actresses Siena Werber and Lilian Rebelo have joined the cast. Whoa... that's a lot of new faces to get to know, let's recap.

What will happen in Only Murders in the Building season four?
The most important piece of information that's been made available to the public about the plot of Only Murders in the Building series four is that it will see our favourite three sleuths move from New York City to Los Angeles.
What exactly they'll be doing in the West Coast is yet to be seen, as the series plot has yet to be revealed.
But the best place to start, will be from the final moments of season three where viewers saw Sazz, played by Glee's Jane Lynch, visiting Charles' apartment to celebrate the success of his Broadway show's opening night.
It didn't take long for chaos to ensue as a bullet came in through the window, seemingly out of nowhere, and hit her in the chest. With her last moments, Sazz wrote a message on the floor in her blood. Fan's seem to think that season 4 will revolve around the mystery killer and his potential new target: Charles himself.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, series co-creator John Hoffman teased that they want to play with the topic of consequences, "I think the idea of what you create is a thing you put out to the world, and sometimes you can’t be prepared for the repercussions of what potentially the world does with your thing, and how they feel about it."
"That’s a challenging line to walk, and sometimes you have to face it in that way. So, the podcast and everything else that’s happened, and what it all means, and what it could have been meaning all along. That’s a really interesting world to look at for these three who stepped in that way."
We'll update this page with more information on Only Murders season four as and when it's released.
