Fans are in for a surprise with a mystery post revealing the release dates, followed by a teaser for Only Murders in the Building Season 2.
The murder mystery genres are among the most popular ones, but it is more challenging to make a good series that keeps the audience engaged from the very start to the finish. Only Murders in the Building is just the perfect blend of comedy and mystery, making the show enjoyable to watch until the end, and it’s binge-worthy.
The series stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as the magical trio of true-crime fascinated strangers who become entangled in a murder mystery. The performance by each one of them adds such a feel-good relationship between the characters and enhances their dynamic with each episode.
The plot is serious when it needs to be and funny when it needs to lighten the situation. It strikes the perfect balance of both elements, which makes it such a great show.
Steve Martin (Charles Haden-Savage), Selena Gomez (Mabel Mora), and Martin Short (Oliver Putnam) play neighbors in a New York apartment complex named, Arconia. One night they meet each other and realize that the three of them have a common interest in listening to murder mystery podcasts.
Eventually, as faith takes its course, they become involved in solving murder cases after discovering a love for true-crime podcasts. The first season ended with the trio planning a party to commemorate the successful investigation of Tim Kono’s murder and Charles’ getaway from one musical seductress responsible for the chaos in the building.
Another murder quickly shattered the happy ending, and viewers were left in anticipation with a massive cliffhanger as to what would happen next. This left people asking for Only Murders in the Building Season 2.
Only Murders in the Building Season 2 Release Date
The fans worldwide won’t have to wait any longer for the confirmation of a Season 2 as they were treated with the release dates as a puzzle to solve, which has a clue to the potential release date of the upcoming season.
On March 24, a cryptic social media post had many people wondering if the new season would be released sooner rather than later. An unexplained image of Arconia’s elevator call buttons was published across various social media handles of the series.

Fans were quick to solve the post and flooded the official page for possible answers. Later, Hulu took on its official page along with the stars who came by to officially announce that Only Murders in the Building Season 2 will stream this summer with a premiere date of June 28, 2022.

“Everyone in our amazing ‘Building’ worked with such love and expertise through extraordinary times – and with incredible support from Disney, Hulu, and 20th TV – to create a first season that might live up to our legendary cast, our beloved New York City, and to make a show about connection.
“To feel we’ve connected with our audience and hit the mark enough already to have the chance to continue – and to carry on our show’s wild ride of mystery-comedy-empathy – is too exciting for words. So I’ll shut up now – and just say a huge thanks to all and I can’t wait for more!”
