A recap of Only Murders in the Building Season 4

Last season, which was released in 2024, showed Charles' stunt-double Sazz Pataki's murder, leading the trio to investigate who was responsible. Season 4 ended with a cliffhanger with the podcasting trio – Mabel, Charles and Oliver – picking up yet another case when a woman asks them to investigate her missing husband at Arconia, and they find the building's doorman is dead.

In the new season, Arconia's new owner plans to replace the human staff, including the job of the doorman, with technology. The changing scenario in the city creates a dangerous web of suspects for the trio, connecting powerful mobsters, influential billionaires and tech moguls to the murder of the building's human doorman, Lester.
