Who will star in Only Murders in the Building Season 5?

In that same report from The Wrap, Fogelman promised, “We can expect more big guest stars that’ll probably be announced sooner rather than later.” Of course, Martin, Gomez, and Short will all be back as Charles, Mabel, and Oliver, with Meryl Streep likely to reprise her role as Loretta considering she’s now wed to Oliver. Meanwhile, we’d also anticipate the return of long-running series stars Michael Cyril Creighton and Da’Vine Joy Randolph. As fans will recall, Season 4 brought in plenty of big names including Melissa McCarthy, Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, Kumail Nanjiani, Zach Galifianakis, Tea Leoni, and many more.

It has since been announced by Deadline that Keegan-Michael Key will take on a recurring role in Season 5, but his character details remain under wraps for now. Variety has also unveiled Christoph Waltz will serve in a recurring role that remains secretive at this time. Most recently, Deadline announced Renée Zellweger would join the ensemble in a yet-to-be-revealed role.

Stay tuned for some sure-to-be exciting updates regarding additional casting.

Season 5 will likely center around the investigation into Lester’s (Teddy Coluca) death. The Arconia’s beloved doorman was found dead in the courtyard’s fountain by the Only Murders trio at the end of Season 4. Will they be able to uncover the truth behind what happened to Lester? We have faith they will, as it seems the focus is reshifting back to New York after last season’s Los Angeles foray.
