Only Murders in the Building, starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as the amateur detective trio Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, has become a fan favorite since its debut. The show follows the trio as they investigate murders in their upscale New York apartment building, all while producing a true-crime podcast. Season 5, currently in production, will center on the investigation into the death of the Arconia’s beloved doorman, Lester, who was found dead in the courtyard fountain at the end of Season 4.
Feldstein’s casting adds to the anticipation for the upcoming season. While her role remains under wraps, speculation is rife about whether she’ll play a suspect, a new resident, or perhaps a victim. The actress brings a wealth of experience, having previously starred in Broadway’s Funny Girl and earned acclaim for her comedic timing and dramatic depth in films like Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising.
The series has a history of attracting high-profile talent, with past guest stars including Meryl Streep and Nathan Lane. With production underway, as confirmed by the show’s official social media in March, fans are counting down to the premiere, expected later this year on Hulu. Feldstein’s addition promises to bring fresh energy to the beloved show, ensuring more twists, laughs, and mysteries for viewers to unravel.
