With a confirmed release date of August 27, 2024, fans are again about to be treated to a slew of their favorite podcasting sleuths for one last time. From razor-sharp writing to a fine cast and shocking plot twists, this is truly going to be one of the most thrilling TV shows.
What will be the plot of Only Murders in the Building Season 4?
Right away, the amateur sleuth trio—Charles, Oliver, and Mabel—get themselves into a fresh mystery in the greatly discussed Only Murders in the Building Season 4, the shocking murder of Sazz Pataki, Charles' stunt double and longtime friend.
The three embark on a journey to find the answer to that question, moving from New York City to Los Angeles, as a Hollywood studio works on turning their hit podcast into a movie.
The arduous race to uncover the twisted secrets belonging to the West Tower residents takes the trio on an epic adventure around the courtyard of the Arconia. The closer they seem to be to the truth, the more they have to deal with the fallout from their previous investigations and what their podcast did to the people around them.
While this time going through the whirlwind of the creative process and the pulchritude of Hollywood glamour, the peculiar trio is still equally encumbered by the personal toll the investigation has brought into their lives. The stakes are higher, but Charles, Oliver, and Mabel must hold fast together to solve the mystery and clear their names before it's too late.
