Only Murders in the Building season 4 was green-lit by Hulu soon after the third season concluded on October 3, 2023. Given the series once again garnered praise from the audience globally, the renewal came as no surprise.
The announcement came in the same month that the WGA strike ended. In season 3, Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd guest-starred as Loretta Durkin and Ben Glenroy.
Only Murders in the Building season 4 will be released globally on August 27, 2024
Only Murders in the Building season 4 will be released on August 27, 2024. The filming of the fourth chapter began around March 2024, which Selena Gomez confirmed by sharing an Instagram story of receiving a flower bouquet from fellow co-stars.
The plot details of the coming season are a mystery right now. In February 2024, during an interview with TV Line, the president of Hulu Originals, Craig Wrwich revealed that the series will be moving from New York City for season 4:
“I’m very excited to see Steve, Martin, and Selena take a little break from the apartment building and come to Los Angeles. So in the same way that (series co-creator in Season 3) John Hoffman used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique Only Murders take will be applied to Los Angeles.”
