NBC brings a fresh, clever twist to the murder mystery genre with "Only Murders in the Building," a new comedy-drama series that blends suspense, humor, and the intrigue of a classic whodunit. The series offers a unique perspective by examining crime through the eyes of amateur sleuths, each with their own quirks, obsessions, and hidden agendas.
From executive producers Steve Martin, John Hoffman, and Dan Fogelman, the series follows three unlikely neighbors—Charles (Steve Martin), a retired actor with a taste for theatrics; Oliver (Martin Short), a flamboyant Broadway director; and Mabel (Selena Gomez), a sharp-witted young artist—as they investigate a murder in their Upper West Side apartment building. Their fascination with true crime drives them to launch a podcast chronicling their investigation, often placing themselves in humorous, awkward, and sometimes dangerous situations.
The series combines intricate mystery storytelling with sharp comedic timing and deeply human character development, revealing how grief, obsession, and curiosity can intertwine. As the trio digs deeper, they uncover secrets that challenge their perceptions of each other and the community they thought they knew, making every clue a potential revelation.
"Only Murders in the Building" offers viewers a fresh take on the classic murder-mystery, balancing humor, suspense, and emotional depth, all while exploring themes of trust, friendship, and the fascination with storytelling itself. The series delivers an immersive experience where crime, comedy, and character collide in every episode.
"Only Murders in the Building" is a production of 20th Television in association with ABC Signature. Steve Martin, John Hoffman, and Dan Fogelman serve as executive producers.
