The recently aired season 4 finale of Only Murders in the Building ended with a set-up on the murder that the trio will investigate in season 5.
Last week, we learned that Rex Bailey was the culprit behind the murder of Sazz. The finale spent most of its time interrogating the suspect, the much-awaited wedding of two fan favorites, and a conclusion that sets up what we can expect next season.
This article includes spoilers for Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale, so proceed with caution.
Who Will Be the Murder Victim in Only Murders in the Building Season 5?
Like the previous finales, the season 4 finale of Only Murders in the Building ended with a new murder that sets up the investigation that the trio will do in season 5.
After Rex Bailey confessed to Sazz's murder and was shot by Jan (who got arrested again afterward), the trio closed another case and Oliver and Loretta proceeded with their wedding in the Arconia's courtyard.
It was a happy celebration for the main characters. However, Loretta had to move to New Zealand the next day due to the change of filming location of her TV show. She left without Oliver as she didn't want to separate him from Charles and Mabel.
While walking around the Arconia's courtyard, the trio discovered Lester the Doorman's corpse in the fountain. They were shocked to see the body and immediately called 911.
This makes Lester the Doorman the new murder victim for the next season and the trio now has to open another case for a new murder investigation in Arconia.
Is Only Murders in the Building Already Renewed for Season 5?
Fortunately for fans, the series was already renewed for season 5 some time ago so the cliffhanger will definitely be solved next season.
So far, Hulu has not set a release window for the fifth season, but it will most likely premiere next year as the series has continuously released new seasons annually.
At the very least, we have an idea now of what we can expect in season 5 as they have planted the seeds for the murder that the trio will investigate next season.
Considering that Lester has always been part of Arconia since the beginning of the series, it's going to be another personal case for the trio and it would be interesting to see how it all unfolds.
Fans should anticipate for any news and updates on season 5 in the coming months as the writing process is ongoing. Filming will likely begin early next year.
