Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for a fourth season by Hulu.
Now that the WGA strike is over, the writers room is expected to reconvene shortly.
The season three premiere of Murders had the most viewers of any scripted Hulu Original in 2023. Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd guest starred in the season that followed Charles, Oliver and Mabel (Steve Martin, Martin Short & Selena Gomez) investigating a murder behind the scenes of a Broadway show.
Rudd played Ben Glenroy, a Hollywood action star whose Broadway debut is cut short by his death, while Streep portrayed Loretta Durkin.
Only Murders in the Building remains Hulu’s most watched comedy original ever. It hails from co-creators and writers Martin and John Hoffman (Grace & Frankie, Looking). Martin and Hoffman executive produce along with Short, Gomez, This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal.
The series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios. In January, it will vie for the Emmy in the Outstanding Comedy Series against Abbott Elementary, Barry, The Bear, Jury Duty, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Ted Lasso, and Wednesday.
Short is also up for an Emmy, as is Nathan Lane for starring as Teddy Dimas.
