Only Murders in the Building is heading across the pond. The Hulu comedy-mystery is filming its sixth season in London, England, and it’s adding a long list of British stars. The show has mostly been set in New York City, with one season in Los Angeles. No release date has been announced.
Who’s returning
- Martin Short as Oliver Putnam
- Steve Martin as Charles Haden Savage
- Selena Gomez as Mabel
- Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard
- Da’Vine Joy Randolph, who was spotted on set as Detective Donna Williams, so her return looks likely
Teddy Coluca, who played Arconia doorman Lester in every previous season, is likely out after his character was murdered.
New cast members
The new additions include several Bridgerton and Doctor Who stars, most in recurring or guest roles:
- Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton)
- David Tennant and Jodie Whittaker (Doctor Who)
- Jim Broadbent (Bridget Jones)
- Geri Halliwell (Spice Girls)
- Martin Freeman
- Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous)
- Rhea Norwood (Heartstopper)
- Matthew Beard (The Imitation Game)
- Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters)
- Plus Jamie Demetriou, Anjana Vasan, Jane Horrocks, Derek Jacobi, Lesley Nicol, Amar Chadha-Patel, Richard Ayoade, Adrian Lukis and Kathryn Hunter
Our take
The London setting gives the show a fresh start, and the cast is packed with favorites from British film and television. With so many new faces, the challenge will be giving each one a real role in the mystery, but Short, Martin and Gomez are always the reason to watch.
