Welcome the new tenants of Arconia as the hit series, Only Murders in the Building, has announced an extravagant new cast for season 6. The Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez mystery comedy show is among the most popular on Hulu and Deadline is now reporting on the heavy-hitting names that will be on board for the upcoming season.
David Tennant, Nicola Coughlan, Jodie Whittaker, Jim Broadbent, Richard Ayoade, Adrian Lukis and Kathryn Hunter will be added to the cast for this next installment. They join the recently announced recurring cast members, who include Jennifer Saunders, Sean Teale, Simone Ashley, Amar Chadha-Patel, Rhea Norwood, Matthew Beard, Sharon Horgan, Martin Freeman, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Jamie Demetriou, Anjana Vasan, Jane Horrocks, Derek Jacobi and Lesley Nicol.
Since the show’s 2021 debut, Hulu has become very skilled at adding A-list actors to the Only Murders in the Building cast. The network spoiled fans with outstanding cast additions for Season 4, including Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Jane Lynch, Richard Kind, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani, and Molly Shannon.
Then, last year’s season 5 brought in a cast that included Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, and Jermaine Fowler.
Created by Steve Martin, Dan Fogelman, and John Hoffman, the first season followed three strangers (Martin, Short, and Gomez) who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one when a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building. The final moments of each season typically end with a murder to set up the next season. At the close of the fourth season, the trio stumble across the dead body of one of the beloved employees of the Arconia.
Our own Alex Maidy continues to be a big fan of the series and was positively glowing in his review of the fourth season. “Only Murders in the Building continues to be an exceptional blend of writing and acting that delivers an intricate mystery full of red herrings and misdirections that never feel artificial or pad the season to help it reach ten episodes,” Maidy wrote. “Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, and their supporting cast all work well off each other to make this world seem real and full of the weirdest variations of real people. I was pleasantly surprised each successive season to find that this show keeps finding ways to create stories worth watching, and this fourth season is the best yet. Chock full of callbacks to prior seasons, Only Murders in the Building wonderfully rewards longtime viewers while being open enough for newcomers to jump into the mystery and try and solve the title crime. This continues to be one of the best shows on the air in multiple genres.” You can check out the rest of his review right here.
