As we reported previously, Only murders in the building Season 4 has added even more big stars to its cast and now there's another new trailer (see below) to whet your appetite before the award-winning Hulu show returns on August 27.
The new season of one of Hulu’s best shows takes place immediately after the shocking season three finale, and as you can see, it’s got some major star power this time around: In addition to stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, the new season features Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifianakis, Melissa McCarthy, Molly Shannon, Kumail Nanjiani, and Richard Kind.
But that's not all. Meryl Streep, Michael Cyril Creighton, and Da'Vine Joy Randolph are all returning to the show, making this season as star-studded as the Milky Way. As Hulu says, it's the “most stellar season yet” and is part of all the new stuff Hulu is releasing in August 2024.

What is the plot of Only Murders in the Building season 4?
(Spoiler alert!) Only murders in the building Season 3 ended with the shocking death of Charles' friend and former stuntwoman Sazz, played by Jane Lynch, and Season 4 picks up immediately afterward. Was Sazz the real target, or was it Charles? In addition to investigating that mystery, there's also a very meta subplot that takes the podcasters to Hollywood, where a movie about their podcast is being made.
As fun as it is to see all the famous faces in the trailer, some fans of the show are a little worried about all that star power; if you found the endless cameos in Deadpool and Wolverine A little tired, you'll understand why. At the AV Club, Mary Kate Carr “fears that the show could get a little stuffy. We don't want to overshadow what makes the show really special, which is the dynamic of the main trio,” though she does say the trailer is a lot of fun. Let's hope the power of all that celebrity doesn't overshadow what made the previous seasons so great.
Only murders in the building Season 4 will stream from August 27 on Hulu in the US and on Disney Plus in the UK and Australia.
