More about Only Murders in the Building season 4
Like the previous seasons of the show, the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building will follow another thrilling murder case that was revealed at the end of the previous season.
This time, the victim will be Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), Charles’ (Steve Martin) longtime stunt double. This means that the fourth season will likely put more focus on Charles, like the first season did on Mabel (played by Gomez).
While most plot details are still blurry and the three cast members who are confirmed have already been mentioned earlier, the only interesting thing to know about the fourth season is its theme.
According to showrunner John Hoffman, the fourth season will explore consequences. He told The Hollywood Reporter:
"I think the idea of what you create is a thing you put out to the world, and sometimes you can’t be prepared for the repercussions of what potentially the world does with your thing, and how they feel about."
Of course, more details about Only Murders in the Building season 4 are expected to drop very soon.
