How to watch ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 5 for free

Only new episodes in the building.

Just a year after the fourth season started airing, “Only Murders in the Building” is already back on Hulu for Season 5 this week.

The new ten-episode installment sees Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) once again solving a murder that happened in their Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.

“We really are dipping our toe into a New York City in Season 5 that feels particularly ripped from the headlines in certain ways that we’ve not done before,” co-creator John Hoffman told Decider in October.

But you won’t need to launch a full-blown investigation to find the new episodes. Read on for everything we know about Season 5.

‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 5 release date

The first three episodes of “Only Murders in the Building” dropped 12 a.m. ET on Sept. 9. Following the premiere, subsequent episodes will drop weekly at midnight on Tuesdays through Oct. 28.
