A New Case Across the Pond
Hulu has confirmed that the sixth season of 'Only Murders in the Building' will premiere on December 8, with new episodes airing on Tuesdays. The season is retitled 'Only Murders in London,' marking a first for the series as the action moves away from the iconic Arconia building to the UK.[S1][S2]
The sixth season of the Hulu series finds Charles, Oliver, and Mabel heading to London after Cinda Canning, the podcaster whose show first connected them, becomes the apparent victim of a new crime. The trio must investigate the case abroad, with the season premiering on December 8.[S1][S2]
Star-Studded Guest Cast and Creative Details
The season features a host of guest stars, including Tina Fey, Olivia Colman, Meryl Streep, David Tennant, Nicola Coughlan, and Martin Freeman. Co-creator John Hoffman revealed that these actors will play original characters, not fictionalized versions of themselves, with Colman portraying a writer and Saunders connected to a British reboot of the in-universe show 'Brazzos.'[S1][S2]
Hoffman also promised that the season will evoke a holiday feeling, despite not being filmed during winter. Production is wrapping up soon, and the change in location and atmosphere is expected to bring a fresh dynamic to the next case for the podcasting trio.[S2]
Behind the Scenes and Release Details
The series was created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, who also serve as executive producers alongside Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith, Jennifer Crittenden, and Gabrielle Allan. The show has earned seven Emmy awards.[S1][S2]
The December premiere is a shift from the show's usual summer or early fall window, partly due to filming overseas. Fans can expect new episodes weekly on Hulu, with the season set to explore the murder mystery in a completely new setting.[S2]
