Renée Zellweger and Logan Lerman Play Billionaire Murder Suspects in First ‘Only Murders in the Building' Season 5 Trailer
Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building is nearly upon us, and now there's a new poster, release date, and trailer — starring Logan Lerman and Renée Zellweger as some of the world's richest individuals — to prove it. On Tuesday, Hulu announced that the Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short-led comedy series will return for another Big Apple adventure on Tuesday, September 9, debuting the first three episodes and then moving to weekly release after, rolling out through late October. 'After their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters, and the mysterious residents of the Arconia,' a description for Season 5 reads, teasing the arrival of Zellweger, Lerman, and Christoph Waltz's characters. It continues, 'The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.' Based on the newly-dropped trailer, it appears that Lerman, Zellweger, and Waltz will be playing three meddling billionaires who the trio stumble upon while investigating Lester's death, which appears to be tied in some way to old-school mobsters of NYC… or Staten Island, according to the video. It's unclear how this new cast of characters each made their money but the murder board in the trailer tells us that Lerman is playing Jay Pflug, Zellweger is playing Camila White, and Waltz is portraying Bash Steed. After the trip to La La Land (aka Los Angeles) in Season 4 where Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, and Eugene Levy all guest-starred as themselves, Season 5 is bringing in Bobby Cannavale, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler in secret roles. Also appearing in Season 5 is Téa Leoni, who made a surprise appearance in the final moments of the Season 4 finale, playing Sofia Caccimelio, the wife of Nicky Caccimelio — the missing 'Dry Cleaning King of Brooklyn' introduced via a news clip in the penultimate episode. No word on who is playing Nicky — we predict it could be Cannavale, who the trailer shows interacting with Lester prior to his death — but it appears Nicky's disappearance will play a role in the fifth season, although that will just have to be revealed when the new episodes air. Along with the release date's announcement and the trailer, the streaming service dropped the first poster for Season 5, which sees Mabel, Oliver, and Charles sitting and standing on a skyline built out of cards, with the tagline, 'The building always wins,' teasing a foray into the underbelly of New York City gangsters, something co-creator John Hoffman alluded to in a DECIDER interview last year. 'Our beloved doorman has a hold of a large amount of tenants in our buildings' secrets and many other things about his life were interesting for me to sort of explore. The very nature of a doorman in a pre-war apartment building, a New York City in 2025. [It] felt very, very interesting to look at in terms of what our show has always been about, which is classic meets newer,' Hoffman shared. We really are dipping our toe into a New York City in Season 5 that feels particularly ripped from the headlines in certain ways that we've not done before.' The first four seasons of Only Murders In The Building are now streaming on Hulu and Disney+. Season 5 premieres on Tuesday, September 9. How To Watch Only Murders In The Building If you're new to Hulu, you can get started with a 30-day free trial on the streamer's basic (with ads) plan. After the trial period, you'll pay $9.99/month. If you want to upgrade to Hulu ad-free, it costs $18.99/month. HULU DISNEY+ BUNDLES If you want to stream even more and save a few bucks a month while you're at it, we recommend subscribing to one of the Disney+ Bundles, all of which include Hulu. These bundles start at $10.99/month for ad-supported Disney+ and Hulu and goes up to $29.99/month for Disney+, Hulu, and Max, all ad-free.

Trump names Stallone and Kiss for Kennedy Center Honors and says he'll host the awards show
WASHINGTON — As the new chairman of the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump added a highly personal stamp to this year's announcement of the recipients of the annual honors, whom he named as country music star George Strait, 'Rocky' actor Sylvester Stallone, singer Gloria Gaynor, the rock band Kiss and actor-singer Michael Crawford. Instead of the Kennedy Center revealing the names through a press release as usual, Trump announced the honorees himself during a Wednesday press conference at the site, where he was flanked by American flags and photo stands for each of the entertainers that were initially covered by red drapes. Unlike in his first term, when he didn't even attend the honors ceremony, he announced that he would be hosting it later this year and that he had been deeply involved with the selection process. He also suggested he might choose himself for a future award. The spectacle marked a new era for the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, which Trump has taken over by installing himself as chair and replacing the board of trustees with loyalists. He has even hinted he'd like to see the venue renamed the Trump/Kennedy Center. Trump has made revamping the Kennedy Center — and what he calls its 'woke' agenda — the center of an ongoing push to overhaul such cultural institutions as the National Endowment of the Humanities and the Smithsonian museums. The Kennedy Center Honors were established in 1978 and have been given to a broad range of artists. Until Trump's first term, presidents of both major political parties traditionally attended the annual ceremony, even when they disagreed politically with a given recipient. Prominent liberals such as Barbra Streisand and Warren Beatty were honored during the administration of Republican George W. Bush, and a leading conservative, Charlton Heston, was feted during the administration of Democrat Bill Clinton. At least some of this year's winners have a history of backing Trump. Stallone is a prominent supporter who has called Trump 'the second George Washington' and was named by the president, along with Jon Voight and Mel Gibson, as a Hollywood special ambassador. Founding Kiss member Ace Frehley endorsed Trump in 2020, calling him 'the strongest leader we've got.' Meanwhile, fellow Kiss musician Paul Stanley has often criticized the Republican president, notably his resistance to accepting his election loss to Democrat Joe Biden in 2020. 'After numerous audits, debunked claims of rampant voter tampering, dead people voting & the countless cases thrown out by Trump appointed judges & others … When is not getting the hoped for result accepted?? Biden won,' Stanley tweeted at the time. The Kennedy Center informs honorees in advance, and all four original Kiss performers, who also include Gene Simmons and Peter Criss, issued statements through a band publicist. 'The prestige of the Kennedy Center Honors cannot be overstated and I accept this on behalf of the long legacy of Kiss and all of the band members who helped create our iconic band,' Stanley said. Kiss and the other nominees have had substantial, even iconic, careers. Stallone's portrayals of the underdog boxer Rocky Balboa and Vietnam veteran John J. Rambo are fixtures in popular culture. Strait's dozens of chart-topping hits, including 'Check Yes or No' and 'I Cross My Heart,' have led to his nickname the King of Country Music. Few bands have sold more records or more famously covered their faces in makeup than Kiss, members of the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Crawford is a celebrated stage actor who won a Tony for his starring role in 'The Phantom of the Opera,' and Gaynor is a leading star from the 1970s disco era whose 'I Will Survive' is a feminist anthem. Breaking with longtime tradition, none of the honorees was from the fields of dance, jazz or classical music. This year's Kennedy Center Honors ceremony will take place on Dec. 7 and will air on CBS and stream on Paramount+. Historically, a bipartisan advisory committee selects the recipients, who over the years have ranged from George Balanchine and Tom Hanks to Aretha Franklin and Stephen Sondheim. Trump said Wednesday that he was 'about 98% involved' in choosing the honorees and conferred with such handpicked Kennedy Center officials as Ric Grenell and Sergio Gor. He said he 'turned down plenty' of names, saying those individuals were 'too woke' or too liberal. He described the artists he announced Wednesday as 'great people' and quipped upon unveiling an image of the 73-year-old Strait: 'Good looking guy. I hope he still looks that way.' Besides naming himself chairman and remaking the board, Trump has indicated he'd take over decisions regarding programming at the center and vowed to end events featuring performers in drag. In choosing himself as the host of December's gathering, he takes on a role once filled by Caroline Kennedy, daughter of the late President John F. Kennedy, the center's namesake. The steps have drawn further criticism from some artists. In March, the producers of 'Hamilton' pulled out of staging the Broadway hit musical in 2026, citing Trump's aggressive takeover of the institution's leadership. House Republicans added an amendment to a spending bill Trump signed into law in July to rename the Kennedy Center's Opera House after first lady Melania Trump, but that venue has yet to be renamed. Maria Shriver, a niece of JFK and a longtime Democrat, has criticized as 'insane' a separate House proposal to rename the entire center after Trump.
