Only Murders in the Building Season 3: When will it premiere?

Firstly, we want to clarify that the much-awaited third season of this American mystery comedy-drama television series is not premiering in June 2023! Yes, it’s true because the show, which is created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, was ordered by Hulu back in July 2022, with filming for the season beginning earlier this year in January and concluding a few weeks ago, which takes time to complete post-production.

On the bright side, during Disney’s upfront presentation last month, it was officially confirmed that the series will debut this summer season on Tuesday, August 8, 2023!

The release date was also confirmed by Steve Martin, who plays Charles-Haden Savage in the show, as he casually dropped the update during his tour showing You Won’t Believe What They Look Like Today!, quoting: “Catch the new season August 8,” which was followed by Short responding, “Our show is like Steve trying to pee — it streams for 33 minutes.”

Side Note: The attendees of the show were not allowed to record any part of their set.

Only Murders in the Building Season 3: What to expect?

Not much has been revealed about the upcoming season’s plot, but to give some hints about the next chapter in the beloved trio’s life as true crime podcasters and murder solvers, the show will continue the plot from the cliffhanger of the second season’s finale episode, “I Know Who Did It,” in which the viewers got to see that one year has passed since any murder and the trio are on the opening night of a Broadway play that Oliver directed, as Mabel awaits the performance, to begin with, Charles-Hayden’s new girlfriend Joy (Andrea Martin) in the audience. 

But before the performance starts, Charles-Hayden engages in an intense conversation with Ben Glenroy, the show’s protagonist, who is played by unexpected guest star Paul Rudd and who will be back for Season 3. Paul Rudd tries to deliver his lines as the curtain rises but collapses and passes away. Making Ben the third season’s new murder victim and the mystery that has to be solved. Charles-Hayden is the first person on stage to assist Ben, and he will undoubtedly be considered a suspect. It’s important to note that Ben had an odd cough before speaking with Charles-Hayden.

In an interview with Deadline, series co-creator John Hoffman also provided some details about Ben’s interaction with Charles-Haden just before the latter passed away on stage, quote: 

“The events on stage take place after we time jump one year, which is exciting for the show because it’s a little bit of a fun reset. We view Season 1 and Season 2 as sister seasons, so for the characters, it feels like they have some breathing room and we can catch up to them and learn what’s been happening in that year. To then be thrown into a new mix like this with a new group of people around the theater and the production of Oliver’s dream show and all of that. It’s starting to feel very exciting for a season to go towards,” he said.

“But more than that, the tease there that is teed up between Charles and Ben is what we’re going to reveal in Season 3,” he continued. “There is very sort of pointed things that Charles is saying to Ben. It’s clear that there’s huge tension between these two actors for their Broadway opening and the source of that will be revealed in Season 3. There are things being said by Charles like, ‘I know what you did,’ and ‘Stay away from her.’ All of that is a tee-up to where we’re going next season. If there’s one thing to hold onto here is ‘her identity.'”
