Only Murders in the Building is the one show I watch as appointment viewing. Tuesday nights have purpose again starting August 27 with the fourth season premiere of this series starring Stave Martin, Martin Short and Selina Gomez.
The murder mystery finds our podcasting heroes Charles Haden-Savage, Oliver Putnam and Mabel Mora (Martin, Short and Gomez) investigating murders occuring in their own Upper West Side Manhattan luxury apartment building. The series has always been a showcase for guest stars, starting with Tina Fey, Nathan Lane and Sting in Season one.
The new season finds the Arconia residents recast for a Hollywood production based on the podcast, with Eugene Levy, Zack Galifinaikas and Eva Longoria representing Charles, Oliver and Mabel. Soon, however, the originals are back in New York and caught up in the shocking death of Charles stunt double from his revised cop series, Brazzos, Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch). Her body is found in his apartment. Was Charles the intended target?
Along for the ride, as seen in the above Season 4 trailer, are Meryl Streep (back from last season), Melissa McCarthy, Molly Shannon, Kumail Nunjiani, Richard Kind, and others.
Counting the days until Aug. 27. The series streams on Hulu as well as on Disney+ in Canada with 10 new episodes airing over consecutive Tuesdays.
