Your favorite crime comedy-drama series, Only Murders in the Building, is making its long-awaited return. Starting August 27, 2024, it will be available on Disney+/Hulu with one episode per week. The original trio of amateur detectives Mabel Mora, Charles Hayden-Savage, and Oliver Putnam will be back, but we'll miss Torbert (played by Jesse Williams) on screen this season. However, the show's new trailer reveals a new and exciting lineup of intriguing cameos and supporting characters for the murder mystery. Here's everything we know about the cast lineup we'll see in Only Murders in the Building Season 4.
Set in the fictional Arconia building on New York City's Upper West Side, this crime comedy-drama follows three podcast-addicted building residents as they try to solve murders that take place within the building while creating their own podcast. The show is heavy on comedy and often features interesting cameos from famous stars that add drama and grandeur.

What is Only Murders Season 4 about?
Season 4 of the crime comedy-drama picks up right where we left off. In the final episode of season 3, the cast was seen celebrating the success of Oliver's musical by partying on the terrace. However, when Charles' stuntman Saz Pataki stops by his apartment to buy some wine, he is shot dead through the window. The trio will no doubt try to solve her murder and uncover if Charles was the real target.
Meanwhile, the amateur sleuths head off to Los Angeles after a Hollywood studio expresses interest in adapting their podcast into a movie, starring Eugene Levy as Charles, Zach Galifianakis as Oliver, and Eva Longoria as Mabel. As a result, a significant portion of the show will take place in Los Angeles, leaving the familiar sights of Arkonia and Manhattan behind.
