Only Murders in the Building

Updated: Oct 26, 2022


An American mystery-comedy television series created by comedy legend Steve Martin and John Hoffman. The quick ten-episode first season premiered on Hulu in August 2021. I was hooked as a fan of murder mysteries and adventure stories in an ordinary setting ( confines of an Acronia building).

The plot follows three strangers played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, with a shared interest in a true crime podcast. The series has received critical acclaim for its comedic approach to crime fiction, as well as the performances and chemistry among the lead performers.






In the first season, after the neighbours' suspicious death in their affluent Upper West Side apartment building aka the Acronia, the three neighbors start their own podcast about their investigation of the murder of Tim Kono in his apartment. In the second season, which premiered in June 2022, the trio themselves become suspects in the bloody murder of another building resident ( Bunny).

The series has received numerous accolades, including nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series and for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series for Martin and Short. In July 2022, the series was renewed for a third season with the unsuspecting murder of Paul Rudd on stage in a theatre.


Only Murders in the Building is now streaming on Hotstar and Hulu.


Recently, the dynamic comedy trio made the audience hysterical on the Emmys stage.

Who's excited to see the smouldering Dr Jackson Avery in a true crime thriller with comedy legends?
