Only Murders in the Building, Hulu’s Emmy-winning comedy-mystery juggernaut, is trading its New York brownstone for foggy London streets in Season 6, with stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez confirmed to return for another round of amateur sleuthing. The announcement, dropped by 20th Television on October 28, 2025, at 2:00 PM ET, promises “murder follows them everywhere,” ensuring the trio’s signature blend of humor, heart, and homicide crosses the Atlantic. Creator John Hoffman teased, “London’s secrets are as dark as the Arconia’s—expect twists that’ll have you double-locking your doors.”
The news comes after Season 5’s record-breaking 12 million global viewers and a 94% Rotten Tomatoes score, making it Hulu’s most-watched original comedy. Production kicks off in London’s Pinewood Studios in January 2026, with filming wrapping by May for a fall premiere. “We’re thrilled to bring the Amigos to the UK,” said Hulu head Craig Erwich. “Their chemistry is universal—murder knows no borders.”
Charles-Haden Savage (Martin, 80), Oliver Putnam (Short, 75), and Mabel Mora (Gomez, 33) will investigate a killing at the fictional West End’s “Thurber Theater,” where a Broadway hopeful’s death pulls them into a web of theatrical rivalries, hidden affairs, and ghostly grudges. “London’s got more skeletons than the Arconia,” Hoffman joked. Guest stars include Phoebe Waller-Bridge as a sharp-tongued director, Simon Pegg as a quirky inspector, and Olivia Colman as a scheming producer. Returning favorites like Sting and Meryl Streep add star power.
Season 6 builds on the Arconia podcast’s global fame, with the Amigos launching a London edition amid Brexit-era tensions. “Murder in the West End? It’s personal now,” Short quipped at a press event. Martin’s Charles channels Poirot with a twist, Short’s Oliver directs a suspect musical, and Gomez’s Mabel uncovers tech-savvy clues via TikTok. The transatlantic shift allows for cultural clashes—think tea-time interrogations and tube chases—while exploring themes of legacy and reinvention.
Fans erupted with 3.2 million #OnlyMurdersLondon posts. “The Amigos in London? Genius!” tweeted Gomez. The series, Hulu’s top comedy for four years, has won 12 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series. With Season 5’s cliffhanger resolving the Arconia’s “Sinaloa Syndicate,” London offers fresh turf for the podcasters’ antics.
Hoffman hinted at meta elements: “The podcast goes viral in the UK—expect cameos from real British stars.” As the Amigos navigate accents and alibis, the season promises laughs amid the lore. “It’s our most ambitious yet,” Martin said. With global appeal soaring—50 million streams per season—the London leap could cement Only Murders as TV’s ultimate whodunit.
Buckle up, podcasters: The West End awaits, and murder’s on the menu. In a franchise where every season tops the last, Season 6’s transatlantic tango might just be the encore we crave.
