Only Murders in the Building Adds a Two-Time Oscar Winner
Even Christoph Walz should watch his back around the Arconia.
admin
Only Murders in the Building, Hulu’s favorite way to see how many awards-recipients they can fit onto one TV screen, is back in production for its fifth season. This year, the Selena Gomez-starring series added two awards of its own to its vast shelf — the series won Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series and Martin Short won Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series at the SAG Awards in February. And if that weren’t enough glitz, the cast will now include a two-time Oscar winner. It’s the most prestigious farce on television. Below, everything we know about the celebrity-filled fifth season.
Who’s joining the cast?
Two-time Academy Award winner Christoph Waltz joined the cast on March 21, per Variety. He’s got a more serious vibe than this show typically goes for, but maybe this season will turn into a Tarantino production. Either way, he’ll be balanced out by Keegan-Michael Key of Key & Peele.
What’s it going to be about?
There’s no official confirmation on plot details. In the season four finale, Lester the doorman (played by Teddy Coluca) was found shot in the courtyard fountain, giving the trio at least one murder in the building to solve. Additionally, the mysterious mob wife Sofia Caccimelio (Téa Leoni) showed up looking for help at the end of last season, and Leoni is confirmed, by Deadline, to be returning for season five. Selena Gomez heads back to organized crime after Emilia Pérez? That’s su camino.
When’s the release date?
Hulu has not officially announced the date — that’s a case we’ve yet to crack.
