Fans of Hulu's hit mystery-comedy series Only Murders in the Building are eagerly awaiting Season 5. With its signature blend of humor, heart, and whodunit intrigue, the show continues to captivate audiences. Starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as the lovable trio of Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, the series has been renewed for a fifth season, promising more murders to solve in the iconic Arconia. Here's everything we know so far about Only Murders in the Building Season 5, including release date speculation, cast updates, and plot details. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Release Date Speculation
While Hulu has not announced an official release date for Only Murders in the Building Season 5, speculation points to a premiere in August 2025. This prediction is based on the show's consistent release pattern, with previous seasons debuting in August (Seasons 1, 3, and 4) or June (Season 2). Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Expected Cast
The core trio of Only Murders in the Building will return, with Steve Martin as Charles-Haden Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam, and Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora. Their chemistry and podcasting antics remain the heart of the series. Additionally, Michael Cyril Creighton is expected to reprise his role as Howard Morris, the Arconia's quirky resident and the trio's loyal friend. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Potential Plot
The Season 4 finale left fans on a chilling cliffhanger, setting the stage for Season 5's central mystery. After resolving the murder of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), the trio discovers the body of Lester, the Arconia's beloved doorman (played by Teddy Coluca), dead in the building's courtyard fountain with his throat slit. This shocking death will likely be the primary focus of Season 5, as Charles, Mabel, and Oliver investigate who killed the unassuming and well-liked Lester.
Another key plot thread involves Sofia Caccimelio (Téa Leoni), who approaches the trio in the Season 4 finale to investigate the disappearance of her husband, Nicky 'The Neck' Caccimelio, a figure connected to the Caputo crime family. Sofia believes Nicky's disappearance is linked to the Arconia, which could pull the trio into a dangerous web involving organized crime. This subplot may intertwine with Lester's murder, adding layers of intrigue. Only Murders in the Building

Barbara Walters documentary revisits icon's 'bullies,' insecurity about Diane Sawyer
Barbara Walters documentary revisits icon's 'bullies,' insecurity about Diane Sawyer Show Caption Hide Caption Need a show to binge? These are the must watch shows this summer USA TODAY's TV critic Kelly Lawler breaks down the best TV shows you don't to want to miss this summer Without question, Barbara Walters' trailblazing career and unwavering courage in front of the camera are inimitable. A new documentary, 'Barbara Walters: Tell Me Everything,' commemorates the journalist's interviews with presidents and celebrities, how she overcame sexism and accomplished so many firsts. Jackie Jesko's film premiered June 12 at the Tribeca Film Festival and streams on Hulu June 23. Viewers will see how the Boston-born Walters was first exposed to the entertainment industry at her father's nightclub. They'll hear from Walters' 'The View' co-host Joy Behar and her ABC News colleague Cynthia McFadden, as well as women Walters inspired like Oprah Winfrey and Katie Couric. Walters died in 2022 at 93. Jesko relies on audio from previous interviews of Walters to add her voice to the film. Whether you hung on her every word or knew very little about the icon, here's what you should know from 'Tell Me Everything.' What we know about Barbara Walters, from her notorious pal to the 'SNL' nickname she hated Barbara Walters' start: 'I was used to working with bullies' In 1961, NBC's 'Today' show hired Walters, much to her surprise. 'I wasn't beautiful, and I didn't pronounce my Rs, but they needed someone they could hire cheap,' Walters says in the documentary. That economical hire went on to earn big bucks. Walters became the first female anchor of 'Today' in 1974. Then ABC lured Walters to its evening newscast in 1976 with an annual salary of $1 million, making her the first female anchor of network evening news. The news inspired Winfrey, who was making ends meet on a paltry salary. 'As a young anchorwoman who was making $22,000, that was hope for me,' Winfrey says, 'that if she can get $1 million, maybe I can get $50,000 one day.' But Walters' ascent was not an easy one. 'I was used to working with bullies,' she says, naming 'Today' host Frank McGee, her ABC co-anchor Harry Reasoner and future anchor Peter Jennings. Katie Couric recalls Bryant Gumbel's 'sexist attitude' while co-hosting the 'Today' show Barbara Walter's marriage confession: 'As soon as I got in it, I wanted to get out of it' Walters married four times to three different men, including television producer Merv Adelson, twice. But she says in 'Tell Me Everything,' she felt she wasn't 'very good at marriage. It may be that my career was just too important, or it may have been that I was a difficult person to be married to, and I wasn't willing, perhaps, to give that much.' Walters adds that she 'felt trapped' in her unions: 'As soon as I got in it, I wanted to get out of it.' The joy Walters found in her personal life came from her daughter, Jacqueline Dena Guber. Walters suffered three miscarriages and adopted Jacqueline with her second husband, Lee Guber. 'For me, it was the best thing I ever did,' Walters says. Barbara Walters' 'monstrous bout' with colleague Diane Sawyer Connie Chung says that after joining ABC News in 1997, she felt like a casualty of the simmering tension between Walters and Diane Sawyer. 'Diane and Barbara were in this monstrous bout to win stories,' Chung says, 'and I was caught in the middle.' Former ABC anchor Cynthia McFadden says Walters felt 'dogged by Diane's very existence. She often said Diane was the perfect woman. She used the word(s) 'a blonde goddess,' this ideal woman and that she, Barbara, couldn't compete with that.' Jesko, a former producer at ABC News, tells USA TODAY that addressing the feud felt important because "more than anything else, I think it's so revealing about Barbara. Diane just represented to her a lot of things that she wished she could be.' 'Barbara swooped in' on Oprah Winfrey's interview with Monica Lewinsky In 1998, then-President Bill Clinton admitted to an affair with White House intern Monica Lewinsky and a race ensued to get Lewinsky's perspective. 'We had an agreement with Monica Lewinsky's team,' Winfrey says in the film, 'and then Barbara swooped in and said to Monica Lewinsky, 'I can give you a better deal.'' Walters had offered Lewinksy appearances on ABC's 'Nightline' and 'Good Morning America,' which Winfrey couldn't compete with. 'I didn't like that,' she says. Looking back on controversial interview questions: 'She was very representative of where the line was' The 'Tell Me Everything' trailer revisits Walters' blunt and impertinent interview questions. She asked Barbra Streisand why she didn't have a nose job and questioned Lady Gaga's sexual orientation. 'Have all of her clips aged great?' Andy Cohen, host of Bravo's 'Watch What Happens Live' asks in the documentary. 'No. But at the time she was very representative of where the line was in the culture, and she knew how to dance just on the line. And I wanted to know, by the way.' In one sitdown, Walters asked Bette Midler if she viewed herself as sexy, and how she'd rate her own looks. 'I had a lot of fun with her when she interviewed me,' Midler tells Jesko. 'I considered her a friend, but I also considered her a journalist. So as much as I liked her, I felt that I had to be careful.' Jesko understands the concern over Walters' questions. 'Nobody would ask (those) now, but I think that it's hard to take her out of the context of her own time,' the filmmaker says. 'I don't think any of us want to be judged by the standards of many decades into the future, and she herself regretted a lot of those things because in retrospect, they did seem rude or tone deaf.'
