With only two more episodes to go, Hulu is finally letting us behind the scenes in a new promotional featurette, including most of the main cast talking about the season. This season weaves past, present, and future together with flashbacks, intriguing new characters, and a mystery that shakes the Arconia to its core. From a time-jumping premiere to a star-studded cast and a new VIP in the penthouse, secrets unfold in unexpected ways. In the featurette, Meryl Streep talks about getting back on the show and the reason why she keeps returning. She is seen on set and having a good laugh with co-star Renee Zellweger. The main cast – Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez – praise their season’s powerhouse guest stars in the new season, counting their Oscars (one for Da’Vine Joy Randolph and three for Streep, while Christoph Waltz, Renee Zellweger and Dianne Wiest are all two-time Oscar winners). The full video can be watched in the video archive.

After a break in last week’s episode, Meryl Streep returned to “Only Murders in the Building”‘s eighth episode “Cuckoo Chicks”. Loretta’s flight to New Zealand has been cancelled, so she joins Mabel, Detective Donna Williams and a distraught Lorraine in their scheme to blow Camila’s cover on her involvement in the murder of Lorraine’s husband. They do so by attending a Ladies’ night at the casino. There was plenty of Meryl in the episode – and plenty of laughs as she made use of all of Loretta’s acting tricks to win Camila’s trust. So far, it’s not clear if Loretta will catch her flight and has wrapped for the season, or if there will be more. Two episodes remain. Screencaptures from the episode have been added to the photo gallery, alongside production stills and on-set pictures. Enjoy.

It took half the season, but Meryl Streep is finally back. Loretta made her grand return to the Arconia for the first time since her wedding, but sadly it’s for an unfortunate reason. Her apartment of 47 years burned down, and she lost everything in the fire. As we saw at the end of last week’s episode, Sofia and Rainey appear to be up to no good, which means the trio finally has two suspects that their Wondify contract doesn’t stop them from podcasting about. And in even more good news, Sofia returned Charles’s phone without issue, and he’s put that relationship behind him – so he’s back to the dating apps to satiate his testosterone-fueled appetite. Screencaptures and production stills from the episode have been added to the photo gallery.

Meryl Streep graces the September 22 cover of the New Zealand’s Woman’s Weekly. Her cover picture comes from the filming of “The Devil Wears Prada 2”. The article, unfortuantely, is quite generic, featuring bits from archive interviews and public knowledge, so don’t expect to be enlightened. Scans can be found in the photo gallery, with an excerpt from the article below: As the frosty and fearsome Miranda Priestly, Meryl Streep was at her formidable best in The Devil Wears Prada. Her 2006 portrayal of the disdainful fashion magazine editor, whose withering gaze leaves her underlings quivering in her wake, managed to win Meryl a whole new cohort of fans who hadn’t even been born when she first rocketed to fame. Now 19 years later, the A-lister is doing it all over again – sliding into Miranda’s oh-so chic shoes, looking every bit as indifferent and in vogue as she did the first time around. Filming for The Devil Wears Prada 2 has been underway in New York since June – with a release date slated for May 1 next year – and hardly a day goes by when fans haven’t been treated to a sneak peek of her in full Miranda regalia. From a pair of squaretoed snakeskin heels to a voluminous crimson evening gown, snapshots of the 76-year-old have been pored over by devotees eager to get a first glimpse of the star in action.

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.
Fandom Wire, Sean Boelman (September 08, 2025)
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.
Collider, Meredith Loftus (September 08, 2025)
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.

Only Murders in the Building season 5 is on the horizon! In a trailer for the hit whodunit show’s upcoming fifth season, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) dive headfirst into another mystery at the Arconia – this time, the eclectic trio is investigating the death of their longtime doorman, Lester. At the end of season 4, Lester was found dead sitting in a fountain in the courtyard, and the trio immediately suspected foul play. But when they receive a copy of the incident’s police report, Charles, Oliver and Mabel learn Lester’s death has been dubbed an accident – even though it happened in “the most murderous building in New York.” The upcoming season will see the return of characters Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton), Loretta (Meryl Streep), Detective Williams (Da’Vine Joy Randolph), Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane) and Vince Fish (Richard Kind). New additions to the show’s star-studded cast include Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler. Only Murders in the Building season 5 debuts Sept. 9, with three episodes, followed by weekly new episodes on Hulu. The trailer can be watched in the video archive and the season poster can be found in the photo gallery.

“Only Murders in the Building” is coming back for season five with a new mystery to solve, and Hulu announced that the upcoming season will premiere on Sept. 9. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the first three episodes will air on the premiere date, while new episodes will continue to be added to the streaming service on the following Tuesdays. Season five, which was renewed in September 2024, will see original stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez and Michael Cyril Creighton reprise their roles, while Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind and Nathan Lane will also return in guest starring roles. New cast members for season 5 include Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest and Jermaine Fowler. In addition to announcing the premiere date and cast, Hulu also shared a synopsis for the new season.

After their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles (Martin), Oliver (Short) and Mabel (Gomez) refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond – where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters and the mysterious residents of the Arconia,” the description read. “The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them – one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.
