Lester Coluca’s death shocks the Arconia

Arconia doorman Lester Coluca (Teddy Coluca), who has been a part of the show since the pilot, dies at the end of season four. The three main characters, Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), discovered Lester in a water fountain outside the building.

A police report says Lester died in an accident, according to the trailer. Neither Charles, Oliver, nor Mabel are convinced by this verdict. Their popular podcast, Only Murders in the Building, covered each of the four murders they've assisted with thus far.

Uncovering dangerous web of secrets

Based on their investigation, the three of them think Lester's death was suspicious. As they go deeper into their inquiry, they discover a perilous network of hidden truths that links influential billionaires, traditional mafiosi, and the enigmatic inhabitants of the Arconia, such as Howard Morris (Michael Cyril Creighton).

It seems like the gangster link is at the centre, and it is revealed in the trailer that Lester was involved with mobsters the night he passed away. The discovery of a severed finger draws the attention of Detective Donna Williams, played by Da'Vine Joy Randolph. Will the appendage help them nail a killer?

Star-studded guest cast and returning faces

Bobby Cannavale, Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Beanie Feldstein, Dianne Wiest, Logan Lerman, Jermaine Fowler, and Keegan-Michael Key will all make guest appearances in Season 5. Téa Leoni, who made her Season 4 debut at the series' finale, is back as Sofia Caccimelio. The Caputo criminal family associate Nicky "The Neck" Caccimelio is now missing, and Sofia is his wife. The teaser implies that Charles and Sofia might have been romantically involved in the past.

Meryl Streep plays Loretta Durkin, Nathan Lane reprises his role as Teddy Dimas, and Richard Kind plays Vince Fish. After appearing in Seasons 2–4, Paul Rudd's role in the upcoming season is still up in the air.
