Only Murders in the Building Season 4 is an impressive continuation of the show’s murder-mystery saga, adding high stakes and fresh storytelling twists while retaining its signature charm. This season is darker, riskier, and more complex, a refreshing evolution for the show’s loyal audience.
In a major storyline shift, Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) face the shocking death of Sazz Pataki, Charles’s stunt double and confidant. The murder investigation pulls the trio to Hollywood, where the mystery deepens as they find themselves involved with a film studio adapting their podcast into a feature. The scenes in Hollywood are a welcome change, bringing a sharp commentary on fame, storytelling, and ownership.
Back in New York, things get more suspenseful as the group uncovers that the West Tower residents at the Arconia—particularly the film-directing Brothers sisters—have been spying on them and orchestrating parts of the murder to control the film’s narrative. The revelation that the sisters were not only involved but willing to kill to protect their vision creates one of the show’s most intense storylines yet. This sinister turn is underscored when the team uncovers hidden cameras in their own building, which makes them realize they’ve been watched all along.
The pacing is deliberate, with each episode revealing new layers about both Sazz’s life and the motives behind her murder. There are heartfelt moments, too, especially between Charles and Oliver, who confront their own mortality and legacy through this dark investigation. Mabel’s journey as the younger member of the group continues to be a compelling arc, especially as she questions her attachment to the Arconia and her role in the group.

The season’s climax comes as the trio executes a clever plan to identify the killers by catching their footprints. The finale delivers both tension and humor, with a final confrontation that ends in an unexpected twist: one last message from Sazz’s phone, hinting at more secrets.
Overall, Only Murders in the Building Season 4 maintains its clever balance of humor and mystery, adding more emotional weight and suspense. It’s a season that’s entertaining, introspective, and ultimately rewarding for fans, setting up a tantalizing potential for future mysteries within the Arconia’s walls.
