‘Only Murders in the Building' Season 4: 5 major moments to expect from Selena Gomez's Hulu show
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: We can't keep calm as 'Only Murders in the Building’ is returning with Season 4 this August. The amazing trio of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez have reunited for once again to reprise their roles of Charles, Oliver and Mabel, and solve new mystery in town.
Season 3 of the Hulu's mystery series went out with a bang, leaving viewers in suspence with a new murder. As Season 4 arrives on August 27, 2024 here's everything we can expect the show to deliver:
1. New murder mystery
Charles, Oliver and Mabel solve a new murder mystery every season. On these lines, Season 4 won't be any different. Charles's body double Sazz Pataki was assassinated in Season 3’s finale.
Season 4 will primarily focus on the podcaster trio investigating Sazz's murder. Along the way, they would also suspect if the killer actually planned to kill Charles and ended by killing his stunt double by mistake. In that case, Charles may not have escaped the danger yet.
2. Jane Lynch will return in Season 4
Despite her character of Sazz being killed in Season 3, actress Jane Lynch will return in Season 4. She will mostly likely be back in flashbacks, similar to how Paul Rudd's Ben Glenroy appeared throughout Season 3 despite dying in first episode.
Jane Lynch confirmed being a part of Season 4 as she said that she has “some really great flashbacks” in an interview with People.
“I don’t want to give it away though, but I’m in it a lot. I’m in five out of 10 episodes, so I’m excited," she added.
3. Meryl Streep's stunning cameo
Oscar award winning actress Meryl Streep had a guest appearance in previous seasons of 'Only Murders in the Building'.
The good news is that Streep will be returning as Loretta Durkin, the love interest to Short’s Oliver Putnam in Season 4 as well.
This season may witness a wedding between Oliver and Loretta, as reported by Town and Country. In May 2024, the cast was spotted shooting a weddding scene in New York City.
4. Mabel Mora's new romantic angle
Three seasons in, 'Only Murders in the Building' has been a disappointment when it comes to Mabel Mora's love life. She is paired off with someone new every season and the romance doesn't carry forward to next season.
We hope that the makers break this pattern and give a happy twist to Mabel's romantic life.
5. Deepening of the trio's bond
The dynamic between Mabel, Charles (Steve Martin), and Oliver (Martin Short) will continue to evolve.
The season will delve deeper into their friendships, highlighting both the humorous and emotional aspects of their bond as they navigate the new murder mystery.
