Only Murders in the Building

by

A winner of an Academy Award is planning to stay at The Arcadian hotel for “Only Murders in the Building” Season 5, but it’s not Meryl Streep, as she has already checked in and boasts three Oscar wins. Since its premiere on Hulu in 2021, “Only Murders in the Building” has emerged as a significant cultural phenomenon that seems to buck the trend of streaming series. It consistently releases new episodes annually and has managed to draw high-profile celebrities for cameos and recurring roles, such as Mel Brooks, Matthew Broderick, Paul Rudd, Tina Fey, Ron Howard, Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Meryl Streep, among others. Now, a frequent collaborator of Quentin Tarantino is joining the cast.

According to Variety, Christoph Waltz is set to appear on the cast of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ for Season 5. Although specifics about his character are yet to be revealed, it’s known that he will have a recurring role during filming. Waltz has earned two Best Supporting Actor awards, both for films directed by Quentin Tarantino – firstly for his exceptional performance in ‘Inglorious Basterds’ (2009) and secondly for ‘Django Unchained’ (2012). While Waltz is often associated with playing villains in projects like ‘Green Hornet’ and ‘Spectre’, he has also taken on heroic supporting roles, as demonstrated in ‘Alita: Battle Angel’ and the recent action movie ‘The Old Guy’.

In the upcoming season of “Only Murders in the Building,” Waltz is set to debut as a fresh face, with Téa Leoni taking on a more substantial part, having made a brief appearance towards the end of Season 4 that hinted at her future involvement in the series. Notably, Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez will return to their respective roles. The ensemble cast of “Only Murders in the Building” was recently honored with the Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble in a Comedy Series award at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards.

2025 Will Be a Big Year for ‘Only Murders in the Building’ and Christoph Waltz

Although the release date for Season 5 of “Only Murders in the Building” hasn’t been officially announced yet, it typically premieres in August each year. Given this pattern, fans are speculating that Season 5 might air in August 2025, but this is just a guess at this point. In 2025, Tony-winning actor Stanley Tucci will be featured in several high-profile projects, including Guillermo del Toro’s “Frankenstein” and Luc Besson’s “Dracula: A Love Story.

Christoph Waltz joining the cast of “Only Murders in the Building” promises to elevate an already outstanding series even further, and the prospect of watching him act alongside stars like Steve Martin, Martin Short, or Selena Gomez is an exciting thought that few would have anticipated. Each season leaves fans pondering if this could be the final one due to the recurring joke about the number of deaths in a building becoming a running gag within the show itself. Hopefully, the series will continue for at least five seasons, as we eagerly anticipate more from this beloved production.
