WATCH: 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 5 official trailer out now

Published Aug 13, 2025 11:34 am

The official trailer for the fifth season of Only Murders in the Building is finally here.

The original trio—consisting of Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez)—is back to solve another murder mystery, this time of their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), who was found dead in a fountain.

The newly released trailer shows that Lester's death was ruled accidental by authorities.

“A guy fills a fountain with blood in the most murderous building in New York, and they say it’s accidental?” Charles asks in one of the scenes. 

Some hints about the case were unveiled, including how Lester allegedly had a run-in with a mobster the night he died as well as how his finger was supposedly severed.

"Something's not adding up. We found three of the richest people in the world sniffing around a murder scene," Mabel says.

Watch the trailer below.

In the fifth entry, the trio finds themselves in the dark corners of New York, where they discover “a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters and the mysterious residents of the Arconia,” according to the logline.

Joining the cast are the familiar faces of Loretta (Meryl Streep), Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton), Detective Williams (Da'Vine Joy Randolph), Teddy Dimas (Nathan Lane), and Vince Fish (Richard Kind).

Among the newest additions to the lineup are Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler.

The fifth season will arrive on Hulu and Disney+ on Sept. 9.
