Only Murders in the Building” has been renewed for its sixth season at Hulu, which will be set and shot in London. The news comes on the same day of the release of the Season 5 finale.

The series follows Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), three residents of an Upper West Side building called the Arconia who run a podcast together as they investigate the deaths that keep happening in their home. The official logline for Season 5 reads, “After their beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca), dies under suspicious circumstances, Charles, Oliver and Mabel refuse to believe it was an accident. Their investigation plunges them into the shadowy corners of New York and beyond — where the trio uncovers a dangerous web of secrets connecting powerful billionaires, old-school mobsters and the mysterious residents of the Arconia. The trio discovers a deeper divide between their storied city they thought they knew and the new New York evolving around them — one where the old mob fights to hold on as newer, even more dangerous players emerge.”

In addition to Martin, Short, Gomez and Coluca, actors who appeared in Season 5 include Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Keegan-Michael Key, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, Jermaine Fowler and Michael Cyril Creighton.

Martin and John Hoffman co-created “Only Murders in the Building” and serve as executive produce alongside Short, Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith and JJ Philbin.
