As we reported earlier, Only murders in the building Season 4 has added even more big stars to the cast, and now there’s another new trailer (see below) to whet your appetite before the award-winning Hulu show returns on August 27.
The new season of one of Hulu’s best series picks up right after the shocking season three finale, and as you can see, there’s a star-studded cast this time around: in addition to stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, the new season also features Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, Melissa McCarthy, Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Kind.
That’s not all. Meryl Streep, Michael Cyril Creighton and Da’Vine Joy Randolph are returning to the show, making this season as star-studded as the Milky Way. As Hulu puts it, it’s the “most star-studded season yet” and it’s part of everything new on Hulu in August 2024.
What is the plot of Only Murders in the Building season 4?
(Spoiler warning!) Only murders in the building Season 3 ended with the shocking death of Charles’ friend and former stunt double Sazz, played by Jane Lynch, and Season 4 picks up right after that. Was Sazz the real target, or was it Charles? In addition to investigating that mystery, there’s also a whole meta subplot that takes the podcasters to Hollywood, where a movie is being made about their podcast.
While it’s fun to spot all the familiar faces in the trailer, some fans of the show are a little concerned about all that star power; when you consider the endless cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine a bit tiring, then you understand why. About at the AV clubMary Kate Carr “is concerned that the show might be a little overstuffed. We don’t want to overshadow what really makes the show special, which is the dynamic of the core trio,” though she does say the trailer is a lot of fun. Hopefully, the power of all that celebrity won’t overshadow what made the previous seasons so great.
Only murders in the building Season 4 is available to stream on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus in the UK and Australia from August 27.
