The highly anticipated Season 4 red carpet premiere of “Only Murders in the Building” took place on August 22 at the historic Paramount Studios lot, a location that makes a cameo during the first episode of the new season. The event was a glamorous affair, attended by the series’ main stars—Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez—along with other cast members like the legendary Meryl Streep, Kumail Nanjiani, Molly Shannon, D’avine Joy Randolph and Zach Galifianakis. Celebrities from across the Disney family, including former “Wizards of Waverly Place” co-stars of Selena Gomez and this season’s Bachelorette Jenn Tran, were also in attendance.

As the show enters its fourth season on Hulu, it continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of humor, mystery, and heart. Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, “Only Murders in the Building” follows three unlikely friends, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, who bond over their love of true crime podcasts and find themselves solving murders in their own New York City apartment building. The third season, produced by Martin, Hoffman, and Dan Fogelman, garnered 21 nominations for the upcoming Emmy Awards, including Outstanding Comedy Series, with lead actors Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez also receiving nominations for their performances​.

Season 3 ended on a dramatic cliffhanger, with Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz Pataki, a lifelong friend of Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), being shot through the window of his residence at the Arconia. Season 4 delves into the mystery of who would want to murder Sazz or perhaps the bigger question of, did the actually intend to kill Charles? The trio of Charles, Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) find themselves drawn into another tangled web of intrigue as they investigate the shocking death.

The new season opens with Charles, Oliver and Mabel heading to Los Angeles after a studio executive, played by Molly Shannon, convinces them to make a film about their podcast. Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Zach Galifianakis join the cast, playing themselves, cast as the Hollywood versions of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, respectively. Longoria, in particular, shines in her comedic turn, infusing a meta-humor about actors that fits in perfectly with the series. As the mystery of Sazz’s murder deepens, these new characters ultimately join forces with the original trio, creating several laugh out loud moments on their way to helping (or hurting?) the investigation.
