'Only Murders in the Building' adds Christoph Waltz for Season 5—fans joke, “He’s just gonna waltz right in and take over the show?”

Christoph Waltz is set to join Only Murders in the Building season five. Details of the character and plot remain a mystery thus far, according to Variety.

A user @thec0med1an reacted with a pun stating:

"Does he really think he's just gonna waltz right in and take over the show?"

Waltz is known for his performance in award-winning movies like Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained. Two-time Academy Award winner Waltz will be accompanied by Keegan-Michael Key (Key & Peele) in season 5.

Only Murders in the Building follows a story featuring three neighbors played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. They turn into amateur detectives when they attempt to solve murders that occur within their New York City apartment complex.

The show is a clever spoof of the true crime genre.

This time around, Christoph Waltz is not the center of online ridicule, but it is the show– Only Murders in the Building. People are surprised at how the show made it past season one.

Social media users say that they have stopped watching the show after season three, and the majority of them were unaware it's still running. Therefore, it was for the series to receive its rightful dose of roasts.

Social media reacts to Christoph Waltz joining Only Murders in the Building

X users are joking about how it feels like Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building was released a few days back, and all of a sudden, it is already Season 5. Some individuals remarked that they probably blinked and jumped a couple of seasons.

It is like the show was releasing seasons at the same pace as GTA would do in an alternate universe.

One user @CS11__ stated:

"Watched S1 as it came out, looked away for a moment and they’re at S5 now."

One more user @Kindom_Knick said:

"5? I thought season 2 just came out."

Other users jeered the series, stating that they couldn't believe Only Murders in the Building got past Season 1. Most were shocked that it's receiving four complete seasons when, in their eyes, it is merely "trash."

A user @shahnifaz mentioned:

"It's a really bad show. No idea how it has been going on for 5 seasons."

A user @bdactual went on to ask:

"There’s been 4 seasons of that trash?"

One user @Capsizing__ suggested:

"Why they bringing in new major actors on a SEASON 5 ‼️💀 Just DISCONTINUE THE SHOW ALREADY 🤦"

Netflix was not spared from the roast either. People made jokes that if this show were on Netflix, it would still have been stuck in Season 1 or 2.

Some viewers claimed that Season 1 of Only Murders in the Building was good, but everything else went downhill after that.

One user @ExcaliburCurse poked fun saying:

"Damn - they already on Season 5. If it was a Netflix show they’d still be filming season 2."

A user @JustReidy mentioned:

"The first season was surprisingly good, then it fell off a cliff."

So, it remains to be seen what Waltz will be bringing to show and how will fans receive it.
