The first three episodes of “Only Murders in the Building”‘s fifth season have premiered today on Hulu and Disney+. The first batch of reviews for the season have been published as well, and so far its sitting comfortable at 100% on RottenTomatoes. On the downside, Meryl Streep’s Loretta has only been mentioned in the episodes so far, but didn’t actually show up. We will have to wait and see with seven more episodes airing weekly each Tuesday until October. A selection of reviews have been collected below.
The Daily Beast, Nick Schager (September 09, 2025)
Alongside Gomez’s sardonic Mable, who’s dealing with her own insecurities, [Short and Martin] are TV’s best duo by a country mile. Over the course of its 10 episodes, Only Murders in the Building bounces around with playful confidence, its every twist and detour leading to daffiness. Its heroes may be worried about the passage of time – and the unpleasant changes it breeds – but here’s hoping that Martin, Short, and Gomez keep this peerless show running for as long as is humanely possible.

Still, the new direction that Only Murders in the Building season 5 takes from a narrative standpoint is enough to prove that the creators aren’t yet running out of ideas for what to do with this series. If they can continue to make mysteries that are as funny and twisty as the ones we get this season, we will absolutely continue to tune in.

How long can a good thing last? Is home a place, a group of people, or perhaps both? These are some of the questions lying at the heart of Only Murders in the Building as it returns for its fifth season. Our favorite trio of amateur detectives is back in action to solve a new murder in the Arconia. Just when you think Only Murders in the Building might be running out of steam, Season 5 proves why this Emmy-nominated comedy series remains at the top of its game.

The Guardian, Lucy Managan (September 09, 2025)
It is still charming, still fun. It still has enough flashes of the old dynamic to keep us hooked and hopeful. Martin, Short and Gomez have not lost sight of their characters, and a course correction could easily be made for season six. To end it here would be a disservice to all.

Roger Ebert, Brian Talerico (September 08, 2025)
All of these people are great comic performers, and the truth is that’s often enough with “Only Murders in the Building.” Again, it’s comfort food, something that goes down easily through a blend of breakneck plotting—there’s a new twist every episode—and remarkable starpower. Could it be better? Sure. But sometimes, good enough will do.
