The second season of Only Murders in the Building will arrive on June 28th this year, as confirmed by Selena Gómez, Steve Martin and Martin Short themselves through a fun promotional video. The acclaimed television comedy, created by Martin and John Hoffman, debuted in 2021 with a ten-episode first season. Currently, it can be seen on Hulu for the United States, and through Star+ for Latin America.

The plot focuses on Charles-Haden Savge, Oliver Putnam and the mysterious Mabel. The three cross paths and form an immediate bond when they begin an investigation into the strange murder of Tony Kono, one of the young girl's childhood friends. In addition to proclaiming themselves the detectives in this case, the trio also tells their adventures through a podcast that helps the narrative tell this story through episodes divided by anecdotes or situations.

According to the official synopsis, the plot “follows three strangers who share an obsession with true crime and who suddenly become involved in one when they investigate the mysterious death of a neighbor in their apartment building in New York.” The last thing that was seen from them in the previous installment was that they managed to resolve the questions surrounding the crime, but the satisfaction lasted only a few minutes until another corpse appeared unexpectedly.

The acclaimed cast and guest stars of the comedy

Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short lead the cast that also includes Aaron Dominguez, Amy Ryan, Vanessa Aspillaga, Julian Cihi, Jackie Hoffman, Jayne Houdyshell, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Michael Cyril Creighton, Zainab Jah, Russell G. Jones, James Caverly and Nathan Lane. Among the guest stars were celebrities such as Tina Fey, Jane Lynch, Sting, Jimmy Fallon, among others. It was confirmed that the continuation will feature the participation of Cara Delevingne in the role of a sophisticated woman with links in the art world.
