The Arconia just yelled “cut,” and that means one thing: our favorite podcasting trio is officially done chasing bodies for Season 5. In a behind‑the‑scenes video shared on the show’s official X account, guest stars Logan Lerman, Renée Zellweger, and Téa Leoni tried to announce the wrap—only to be photobombed by veterans Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, and resident scene‑stealer Michael Cyril Creighton. According to the clip, the crew cheered the cast into silence before everyone shouted, “That’s a wrap on Season 5!”
That’s a Wrap on Season 5
Wrapped means locked scripts, solved murders (for now), and a long, cruel wait until the episodes drop on Hulu. Production ended almost exactly when Season 4 finished last year, so expect the same August slot—give or take a few rewrites and some summer‑heat ADR sessions—around August 2025.
When Will Season 5 Hit Hulu?
Only Murders has been one of the rare streaming shows that respects our calendars. Seasons have landed every June or August since 2021. Season 4 wrapped in June 2024 and premiered on August 27, 2024. Following that math (and the post‑strike pipeline finally running smoothly), August 2025 feels inevitable. Mark your planners, even if you only use them to tally Mabel’s sweater changes.
Recap: Season 4’s Fountain Shocker
Season 4 ended by throwing doorman Lester—literally—into the Arconia fountain. Dead body, star‑shaped splatter, instant cliffhanger. Seconds earlier, Téa Leoni’s leather‑clad tech heiress Sofia Caccimelio begged the trio to locate her missing husband. Between Lester’s watery demise and a missing billionaire, Oliver, Charles, and Mabel have enough podcast material to keep true‑crime addicts juiced for weeks.
New Neighbors, New Suspects
Enter Christoph Waltz and Keegan‑Michael Key, whose roles are still under wraps—though Key’s grin practically confesses. Add Zellweger’s icy charm, Leoni’s power suits, and Lerman’s Gen‑Z ennui, and the suspect board is already spilling onto the hall wallpaper. If history repeats, one of them did it. Or all of them. Or none of them but definitely someone with a Broadway credit.
What Happens Next?
Expect a tale that knots Lester’s fountain flop to the missing husband mystery while delivering two essentials: Oliver fretting about his arteries and Charles bungling basic technology. Meanwhile, Mabel will somehow fit a full crime wall inside her newly redecorated studio. And yes, the podcast mic is still hot—because crime pays in streams.
