The fifth season of Only Murders in the Building premiered on September 9, featuring three new episodes filled with intrigue. The series continues to captivate audiences with its latest plot centered around another mysterious death at the Arconia.
The Mystery Unfolds
The iconic trio—Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora—portrayed by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, return to investigate the untimely death of their doorman, Lester. This unexpected turn of events adds a new layer of suspense to the series.
New episodes will be released every Tuesday, culminating in the season finale on October 28. Early reactions to the premiere suggest that the series successfully blends fresh elements with classic whodunit themes.
Wedding Plans in the Mix
In addition to the murder mystery, Selena Gomez is reportedly planning her wedding to music producer Benny Blanco. While no date has been confirmed, speculation points to a possible late September ceremony in Montecito or Santa Barbara.
During her appearance on The Tonight Show, Gomez discussed her wedding plans while sharing lighthearted moments with Martin and Short. Martin humorously suggested he could serve as the ring bearer.
The involvement of Meryl Streep, who plays Oliver’s love interest, in the wedding remains uncertain. Many fans hope for her participation, which would undoubtedly add to the event’s allure.
