Only Murders in the Building Season 1 recap: Who killed Tim Kono and a shocking new murder mystery
Residents of the New York building Arconia, Charles Haden-Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mabel Mora Gomez), came together to start the eponymous true crime podcast. The success of their podcast helped them solve the murder of another Arconia resident, Tim Kono.
Towards the end of the season, the trio learned that Kono was poisoned and that it was Charles' love interest Jan who was the murderer. Jan and Tim were revealed to be in a relationship. After getting dumped by Tim, Jan decided to poison him. She also planned to poison Charles and blow up Arconia to prevent the podcast from revealing her as the murderer. However, the trio stopped her in time.
While celebrating the capture of Jan, Charles and Oliver received an anonymous text to leave the building immediately. When they went to look for Mabel, they found her covered in blood, leaning over the dead body of Arconia owner Bunny. Their arrest led rival podcaster Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) to come up with her own show, titled Only Murderers in the Building.
What to expect from Only Murders in the Building Season 2?
After a major cliffhanger at the end of Season 1, viewers can expect to find answers to their questions this season. In October 2021, co-creator John Hoffman said that the writers were keeping track of all the questions and loose ends and that the second season will be addressing those.
In an interview with Vanity Fair, Hoffman also confirmed that this season will explore the history and architecture of Arconia. The second season will introduce Charles' father through flashbacks which will connect to the history of Arconia. He also hinted that the season could feature new locations outside Arconia.
The official synopsis of Only Murders in the Building Season 2 revealed that the trio will be hurrying to unmask Bunny's killer but their venture will not be without its complications. With the trio publicly implicated in the homicide, they will now be Cinda Canning's competing podcast. Additionally, they will also have to deal with certain New York neighbors who believe that they committed the murder.
Only Murders in the Building Season 2 will premiere on Hulu on June 28, 2022 at 3 AM EST.
