Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Drops 3 Episodes at Once — Full Release Schedule Revealed
The Arconia feels less like a fancy apartment building and more like a cursed crime scene where no one should ever sign a lease.
Only Murders in the Building is back poking around the Arconia, and Season 5 wastes no time dropping us into another mess. If you just want the basics - how many episodes, when they air, and who shows up - here you go, clean and simple.
What Season 5 is actually about
Charles, Oliver, and Mabel return to investigate the death of their longtime doorman, Lester. It starts as a classic building whodunnit and quickly turns into something darker. So, you know, business as usual for this show.
Episode count and release rhythm
