The murder mystery series Only Murders in the Building, created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, premiered on Hulu in 2021 and has since become a major success.

Season 1 broke streaming records and became Hulu's most-watched comedy premiere. With a star-studded line-up, fans are eager to see what's next. On Facebook, the cast celebrates a major milestone for Only Murders in the Building season 6. Now retitled as Only Murders in London, the series has officially wrapped production, with the premiere on December 8 on the horizon.

New stars include David Tennant, Olivia Colman, Martin Freeman, Peter Capaldi, Jim Broadbent, Nicola Coughlan, Jodie Whittaker, Simone Ashley, Jennifer Saunders, Derek Jacobi, Sharon Horgan, Richard Ayoade, Geri Halliwell, Jane Horrocks, Jamie Demetriou, Kathryn Hunter, Lesley Nicol, Sean Teale, Rhea Norwood, Anjana Vasan, Amar Chadha-Patel, Matthew Beard, and Adrian Lukis. Capaldi, Whittaker, and Tennant are Doctor Who alums and fans can only predict the endless gags surrounding the franchise that will arrive in season 6. With Gomez, Short, and Martin heading to London, the murder-mysteries are guaranteed to follow the trio as their investigation continues following season 5's dramatic conclusion. The apparent murder of Cinda Canning (played by Tina Fey) could spell trouble for the crime-fighting heroes. Gomez has previously stated that she hopes the series will continue for many seasons and said on USA Today, "I really hope that I can just keep evolving Mabel as I get older, because I want to do this for a long time." Only Murders in London season 6 will arrive on Hulu on December 8, and seasons 1 to 5 of Only Murders in the Building are available to stream on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.
