Only Murders Renewed for Season 6 in London

Only Murders in the Building’s Season 5 resolves two killings—mobster Nicky Caccimelio is slain earlier in the season and Arconia doorman Lester Coluca is later murdered—and the finale reveals Mayor Beau Tillman (Keegan-Michael Key) as Lester’s killer. Several billionaire figures — Bash Steed, Camila White and Jay Pflug — were implicated during the investigation and either arrested or turned themselves in. The episode ends with a dying Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) found outside the Arconia and her podcast teasing a U.K.-based mystery that positions the next case in London. Hulu has officially renewed the series for a ten-episode Season 6 that will take the core trio to the U.K. Critical response to Season 5 was mixed, with some outlets calling the mystery weak and plotting sloppy while others praised its cartoonish tone and guest performances. Viewers will now wait to see if the London setting and the Cinda cliffhanger deliver a stronger mystery and payoff.
