Disney has dropped the first teaser trailer of the Emmy-winning mystery comedy series Only Murders in the Building:
The trailer confirms what we already know: Season 4 will see our amateur true crime podcasters Oliver Putnam (Martin Short), Charles Haden-Savage (Steve Martin), and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez) hit the streets of Los Angeles, as they find a studio interested in bringing Only Murders to the big screen.
In the cliffhanger finale of Season 3, our amateur sleuths join an after-party to celebrate the triumphant opening night of Oliver’s murder mystery musical Death Razzle Dazzle. Not long after they close the case of Ben Glenroy’s elevator accident, they will be confronted soon by the “hot, fresh, dead body” of Charles’s friend and long-time stunt double Sazz Pataki (played by Jane Lynch).

Aside from Lynch, Meryl Streep (Loretta Durkin), Michael Cyril Creighton (Howard Morris) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (Detective Donna Williams) are back to reprise their roles in the show’s “starriest season yet,” with Hollywood heavyweights Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, Melissa McCarthy, Richard Kind, and more.
It is unclear whether fan favourites Tina Fey (pro podcast host Cinda Canning), Andrea Martin (Joy Payne, Charles’ new love interest), Amy Ryan (Jan Bellows, Charles' old love interest), and Nathan Lane (Greek restaurateur Teddy Dimas) will be returning for the fourth season.
Only Murders in the Building is the brainchild of co-creators and writers Steve Martin and John Hoffman. Wrapping up its third season in October of last year, the series has received critical acclaim for its cast performances and murder mystery plot with a comedic twist.
Season 4 will premiere on August 27. While waiting, the first three seasons are available to stream on Disney+.
