Only Murders in the Building renewed for season 6, moves to London

Hulu has renewed the comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building for a sixth season and will relocate production to London, the streamer announced hours after the fifth-season finale premiered. The renewal follows a finale that both closed the season’s central mystery and ended with a cliffhanger that propels the show beyond its long-running New York setting.

Season five centered on the murder of the Arconia’s longtime doorman, Lester, a case that entangled the amateur sleuthing trio of Charles, Oliver and Mabel with a scheme to convert the landmark building into a casino. The finale resolved that mystery by identifying Mayor Beau Tillman as Lester’s killer and exposing the role of wealthy backers who helped conceal earlier crimes. Those revelations resulted in arrests that spared the Arconia from demolition, but the episode concluded with a new, striking development. Cinda Canning, a recurring character and rival true-crime podcaster, staggered to the building’s entrance after investigating a case linked to the United Kingdom and collapsed, later discovered dead. That final image set up the series’ next chapter and the move to London for season six.
