The Only Murders in the Building crew is headed across the pond. As announced Tuesday (Oct. 28), the hit Hulu series has been renewed for a sixth season — and according to leading lady Selena Gomez, the next installment will take place in London.
The news comes on the same day the season 5 finale premiered on the streaming service, with parent company confirming that the next chapter of Only Murders will consist of 10 episodes, just like the five seasons before it. It will likely air at some point in 2026.
Season 6 will also mark the first time Only Murders has filmed overseas, with the Rare Beauty founder and costars Martin Short and Steve Martin planning to shoot the next installment in the heart of England. “Well, looks like our fam is going to London y’all …,” Gomez wrote on her Instagram Story, sharing news of the show’s renewal.
“I want to thank our community and fans of @onlymurdershulu for allowing us to even have a season 6!” she continued in a different slide, posting a photo she took of Short and Martin. “We are eternally grateful we can bring any of you any sort of joy. My deepest gratitude from Steve, Marty and myself.”
Only Murders first premiered on Hulu in 2021 and quickly became one of the streamer’s most successful programs. It has received seven Emmys out of 56 total nominations in the years since.
The location of season 6 seems to correlate with the cliffhanger ending of the fifth season, which closed with the main trio listening to a podcast episode — narrated by Tina Fey’s character, Cinda Canning — about a U.K. woman who allegedly murdered a descendant of the royal family before fleeing to the United States.
News of the show’s renewal also comes about four months after Gomez and her castmates wrapped filming on season 5. At the time, the Wizards of Waverly Place alum posted a video of their emotional last day on set on Instagram and wrote, “To my only murders family, the past 5 years you all have seen my best and my worst … Words can’t describe how much I love what we’ve all created and we wouldn’t be here without you all!”
