Only Murders in the Building Season 5: Release date, time, cast updates and plot details
Only Murders in the Building is heading back to Hulu this September, and if you thought the stakes were high before, just wait. After that emotionally loaded Season 4 finale, the Arconia is once again at the heart of a brand-new mystery. And this time, it's more personal than ever. Here's a look at what's ahead: release details, returning favourites, and the newcomers stirring things up in Season 5. Release Date and Time for Season 5
Season 5 officially drops on Tuesday, September 9, 2025. Hulu's kicking things off with a three-episode launch, followed by a new episode every Tuesday through the fall. If you're in India, episodes should go live around 12:30 PM IST—so whether you binge over lunch or save it for later, the schedule's friendly.
Weekly releases can be a blessing or a curse, depending on your patience level. But let's be honest—it gives everyone time to theorize (and rewatch), which is half the fun with a show like this. Cast Updates: Returning Favorites and New Faces
Naturally, the core trio is back: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez return as Charles, Oliver, and Mabel—still an unlikely mix of chaos, charm, and dry humor that somehow works perfectly.
Meryl Streep is returning as Loretta (now officially Oliver's partner), which opens the door for some heartfelt—and probably hilarious—developments. You'll also see the usual suspects around the Arconia: Michael Cyril Creighton (Howard), Da'Vine Joy Randolph (Detective Williams), Jackie Hoffman (Uma), and appearances from Richard Kind and Nathan Lane.
But it's the newcomers that really shake things up this season. Téa Leoni joins the cast as Sofia Caccimelio, who's directly tied to that cliffhanger at the end of Season 4. And then there's the lineup that reads like awards-season bait: Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Logan Lerman, Keegan-Michael Key, Jermaine Fowler, Beanie Feldstein, Bobby Cannavale, and Dianne Wiest. No one's saying who they're playing yet, which only adds to the suspense. Plot Details: A Personal and Perilous Mystery
Season 5 dives into a deeply personal case for Charles, Oliver, and Mabel. After the Season 4 finale's shocking reveal, the trio investigates the suspicious death of their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), found dead in the Arconia's courtyard fountain—a place tied to his own wedding day. Refusing to accept it as an accident, the trio's probe uncovers a 'dangerous web of secrets' linking billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the Arconia's enigmatic residents. The investigation stretches beyond the building, exploring the clash between old and new New York, where traditional mob influences battle emerging, even shadier players.
Sofia Caccimelio's missing husband adds another layer of intrigue, potentially tied to Lester's murder. Showrunner John Hoffman teases a bold reinvention, with the emotional weight of investigating a friend's death driving deeper character dynamics. Expect the signature mix of humor, heart, and suspense, with the Arconia's secrets unraveling in unexpected ways. The season's 10-episode arc promises twists, cliffhangers, and the trio's podcast taking on new dimensions as they navigate this high-stakes case.

The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball Season 7: Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on August 8, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated August 8, 2025, 15:53 IST Alright, Gumball fans—get ready, because it's actually happening. The Amazing World of Gumball is officially back for Season 7, and it's coming in hot with a brand-new name: The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball. After being off the air for seven long years, Gumball Watterson and the rest of Elmore's wonderfully strange residents are jumping back into action. Here's the lowdown on all the juicy details known so far, dished out with all the excitement this comeback deserves. A New Chapter for Elmore's Wackiest Family The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball picks up right after the original Amazing World of Gumball wrapped in 2019. Gumball, the sassy blue cat, and his goldfish-turned-bro Darwin are still causing mayhem in Elmore, joined by their genius little sis Anais, frazzled mom Nicole, and lovable slacker dad Richard. The season hit Hulu and Disney+ in the U.S. on July 28, 2025, with 20 of its 40 episodes ready to binge. For fans worldwide, Cartoon Network and HBO Max will start airing it on October 6, 2025. The show's still rocking that crazy mix of 2D drawings, 3D, puppets, and live-action backgrounds, making Elmore look like a cartoon fever dream. From chatty bananas to grumpy vending machines, the visuals are as nutty as the stories. What's New in Season 7? A New Name and Creative Squad The title switch to The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball isn't just for show—it signals a glow-up while keeping the heart of the original. Ben Bocquelet, the mastermind behind it all, is back, dishing out his trademark absurdity. Matt Layzell and Erik Fountain are steering the ship as executive producers and directors, with Xav Clarke on music and Joe Sparrow handling the artsy side. The new logo, whipped up by Jack Sachs (think Don't Hug Me I'm Scared vibes), adds a cool twist. French studio Bobbypills is also in the mix, sprucing up storyboards and character designs for extra pizzazz. Some changes have folks talking, though—like the new title card font in the premiere episode, 'The Burger,' or moving guest animator credits to the end. It's a fresh coat of paint, but not everyone's sold on it yet. New Voices Big news: some of the voice cast got a shake-up. Alkaio Thiele now voices Gumball, Hero Hunter takes on Darwin, and Kinza Syed Khan plays Anais, stepping in for the original actors. The trailer had fans buzzing about Gumball's voice sounding off, and Thiele later spilled that he didn't record those lines, leaving everyone scratching their heads. Other characters, like Principal Brown and Miss Simian, also got new voices, sparking a bit of a divide. Episodes Packed with Wackiness The season kicks off with 'The Burger,' which got a sneak peek at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival in June 2024. It's a wild ride, with Gumball and Darwin taking on a shady fast-food empire in a hilarious jab at junk food culture. Episodes like 'The Entrance' and 'The Wrinkle' lean into sketch-style animation, stealing the show with their bold visuals. A leaked clip from 'The Entrance' showed off some rough-but-cool animation, while 'The Butts' dives into pure silliness, with the school principal freaking out over his, ahem, backside. The season tackles fun themes, like healthy eating (with a nod to how tough it is when big companies push junk food) and a sweet romance between Clare and Wilson. Plus, it's set to wrap up that huge Season 6 cliffhanger from 'The Inquisition,' where Rob got sucked into The Void. Ben Bocquelet's been dropping hints that the finale, 'The Rewrite,' will tie it all together in a way that'll make fans work for those answers. Will There Be a Season 8? No word yet on a Season 8 (or Season 2 of the revival), but Ben Bocquelet's apparently jotting down ideas. Whether it happens depends on how many folks tune in on Disney+, Hulu, and the global rollout in October 2025. Animation ain't cheap—think $110,000 per 11-minute episode—so the show's gotta pull big numbers. The big finale, 'The Rewrite,' might set up more stories, especially with that unresolved Void drama.

Shoresy Season 5: Release date buzz, cast updates, and what to expect next
By Aman Shukla Published on August 8, 2025, 19:30 IST Last updated August 8, 2025, 12:16 IST Hockey nuts, grab your sticks! Shoresy , the rough-around-the-edges Letterkenny spinoff, has fans itching for Season 5. With its killer one-liners, tight-knit crew, and pure love for the game, this show's become a must-watch. After Season 4's big moments, here's the latest on Shoresy Season 5—when it might drop, who's back, and what's coming down the pike. When Will Shoresy Season 5 Hit the Ice? No official date is out yet, but the rumour mill's churning. Shoresy 's been steady, dropping a new season yearly since 2022. Season 4 landed on Crave in Canada on January 24, 2025, and Hulu in the U.S. on February 26, 2025. Word is, filming for Season 5 starts in spring 2025. If the crew keeps the pace, expect a Crave premiere around January or February 2026, with Hulu likely a month later, maybe February or March 2026. But, stuff happens. The 2023 writers' strike messed with other shows, and some fans on X are wondering if production hiccups could push things back. Still, early 2026 looks solid, so pencil it in and keep an eye out for Crave or Hulu dropping the official word. Who's Back for Season 5? Cast Updates The Bulldogs are nothing without their core crew, and Season 5's shaping up to bring back the heavy hitters. Jared Keeso, the guy behind it all, is back as Shoresy, spitting chirps and heart in equal measure. Others suiting up include: Taysa Teles as Nat, the tough-as-nails team boss who's always butting heads with Shoresy's chaos. Blair Lamora and Keilani Rose as Ziigwan and Miigwan, Nat's quick-witted sidekicks keeping the team in check. Jonathan-Ismaël Diaby as Dolo, the ex-pro with a hip-hop vibe. Terry Ryan as Ted 'Hitch' Hitchcock, bringing real-deal hockey grit. The rest of the Bulldogs should be back, though no full roster's been confirmed. Fans on Reddit are begging for Fish to return after his Season 4 spotlight. There's also chatter about Letterkenny crossovers—maybe Laurence Leboeuf or Scott Thompson popping in. The show loves tossing in real hockey players, so expect some fresh faces, maybe even a big-name cameo. Crazy fan ideas like Sidney Crosby showing up are probably just dreams, but Shoresy always surprises. What to Expect from Season 5's Plot Season 4 shook things up big time. The Bulldogs snagged the cup, got into some wild summer antics in Sudbury, and Shoresy dropped a shocker by hanging up his skates due to injuries. So, what's next? Season 5 might dive into Shoresy's life off the ice, showing how the team holds it together without the rink. Will new rivalries spark? Could the Bulldogs find a new groove? Expect the usual mix of filthy humor, ride-or-die team vibes, and those sneaky, heartfelt moments that hit hard. Fans on Reddit are tossing out ideas like Shoresy coaching the team, maybe even going full Don Cherry. Others think the show might lean into Letterkenny -style off-ice shenanigans or even a podcast storyline for the crew. Whatever's coming, it'll be packed with chirps, character growth, and that raw, Canadian hockey soul that hooks everyone. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

The creator of 'Alien: Earth' challenged himself to invent monsters as scary as the Xenomorph. He thought about what upsets him the most.
The iconic and hideous Xenomorph has ripped, clawed, and munched its way through many helpless victims since first appearing in 1979's " Alien." So Noah Hawley, the creator and writer of the upcoming TV show " Alien: Earth," knew he had to conjure up some new monsters to match the horror of watching "Alien" for the first time, he told Business Insider in London. They include a strange eyeball with tentacles, which appears in one of the trailers. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Eammon Jacobs (@eammonjacobs) "I had to bring back the feeling of discovery of the lifecycle of a creature that every time you thought it had gotten as brutal and awful as it could get, it got worse. And I couldn't do that with a Xenomorph anymore," Hawley said. He approached the challenge of designing new creatures like a game. "You think about, well, what are the things that upset me the most? The bodily autonomy, parasites, all of it. And then you're doing an almost comedic game of what's the worst thing that could happen?" he said. "If they do enough disturbing things, then they become visually iconic, versus trying to make something that looks cool and then adding that in," he added. Hawley was also mindful of making sure the plentiful violence in the eight-episode series didn't become meaningless. Referring to the iconic chestburster scene in Alien, which director Ridley Scott famously didn't warn the cast how gory it would be, Hawley said: "I didn't work at a method level like that for the cast, but what I know at the heart of it is these deaths have to mean something. "And what makes them awful is not just the graphic nature of them, it's who they're happening to and the feelings that go around it." Good things come to those who wait, and for Hawley, horror is no different: "I feel like that horror is all about anticipation. So if there's too much delivery and not enough anticipation, then you've got the balance wrong." "Alien: Earth" starts streaming on Hulu on August 12 in the US and on August 13 on Disney+ in the UK.
