Classic TV whodunnits are back in style, and high on the list of usual suspects is Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, which presents its Season 2 this week with enough insane homicidal hijinks and satirical amateur sleuthing to make Sherlock Holmes go totally mad.
The show hails from the minds of Steve Martin and John Hoffman and centers around three Manhattan neighbors who share a passion for true crime stories. They become embroiled in some serious detective work when a murder occurs in their Upper West Side apartment building. To help document their investigation, the trio records a true-crime podcast of their own while trying to crack the case.
Starring Steve Martin (Charles-Haden Savage), Selena Gomez (Mabel Mora), and Martin Short (Oliver Putnam), Only Murders in the Building became an instant hit when the first season rolled out in 2021. Season 1 ends with the three quirky crime-solvers revealing the identity of Tim Kono’s murderer, but they’re swiftly arrested after being framed for the demise of the Arconia apartment building’s fussy Board President, Bunny Folger (Jayne Houdyshell).
