Only Murders in the Building Heads to London Next Season
Why? Well, we'll just have to see what today's finale portends, eh?
Yes, you read that right. Those kooky septuagenarian Manhattanite sleuths Steve Martin and Martin Short and their millennial friend Selena Gomez are coming back next year for another murder-solving romp! Season Five of Only Murders in the Building ends tonight, and, Hulu has just announced that it’s renewing the show for yet another installment. Apparently, there will be some info about that season in today’s finale!
And the best part is, sources have announced that Season Six will be set across the pond, in London! Jolly good, I’ll say!
In case you’re not caught up, Season Four shifted its location a little bit to Los Angeles, and Season Five returned to New York City (where our sleuths are looking into the death of their beloved doorman Lester, played by Teddy Coluca). And now… our crime-solving Upper West Side busybodies are going international!
Also, just a sidenote: I find it very funny that the charming Only Murders in the Building will be following the same geographic trajectory as the thriller series You… First New York, then LA, then London! What is it about these cities that attract fictional murderers?
Anyway, happy watching, and catch you next year overseas!
