The most murder-prone residents of the Arconia are back, and they’ve already got a new case. Only Murders in the Building Season 5 has officially launched on Hulu, pulling Charles, Oliver, and Mabel into their most sprawling mystery yet—the suspicious death of their beloved doorman, Lester.
If you’re like me, you probably binged the first three episodes the second they dropped and are now desperately counting the days until the next clue is revealed. To save you from constantly refreshing your app, here’s your complete, easy-to-follow guide to the Season 5 release schedule.

What is Only Murders in the Building Season 5 about?
This season’s mystery revolves around the death of Lester, the Arconia’s kind-hearted doorman, played by the wonderful Teddy Coluca. What initially looks like a tragic accident quickly smells fishy to our trio of amateur sleuths.
As co-creator John Hoffman teased, Lester was holding onto a trove of building secrets, and the investigation will dive into his past and “dip our toe into a New York City… that feels particularly ripped from the headlines.” Expect the case to entangle New York’s old mob families with its newest billionaires, making it their most ambitious and dangerous case yet.

The weekly release schedule is actually a gift. It lets us do what Charles, Oliver, and Mabel do best: obsess over every clue, dissect every line of dialogue, and wildly theorize with other fans in the seven days between episodes. After the initial three-episode feast, we’re back to a delicious weekly drip of mystery and comedy.
So grab your evidence board and your favorite dip—the podcast is recording, and the fun is just beginning. The final episode drops on October 28, just in time for a spooky season finale. Happy sleuthing
