The sixth season of Only Murders in the Building will move its trio of amateur podcasters to London, and the showrunner says he has no intention of winding the series down.

Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez's characters are heading overseas for the new season, which Hulu renewed in October 2025, shortly after the season 5 finale premiered. The move to a British backdrop is something co-creator and showrunner John Hoffman had wanted since early in the show's run, he told The Hollywood Reporter. The series is co-created by Hoffman and Steve Martin, and produced by 20th Television. (The Hollywood Reporter)

Hoffman was blunt about how long he sees the show continuing. "Until they want to stop," he said. (The Hollywood Reporter)

The London setting is a first for a series that has been rooted in New York's Arconia apartment building since its 2021 debut. The season 5 finale set up the move by killing off Tina Fey's character, Cinda Canning, a true-crime podcast host who had tangled with the main trio across multiple seasons. Her death puts the three leads in fresh trouble heading into season 6. (The Hollywood Reporter)

The guest cast for season 6 leans heavily on British talent. David Tennant, Jodie Whittaker, Jim Broadbent, Martin Freeman, and Olivia Colman are all joining, as is Nicola Coughlan. (The Hollywood Reporter, Deadline)

The show's track record with guest stars is part of why each new round of casting draws attention. Jane Lynch, Nathan Lane, Paul Rudd, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Matthew Broderick, and Meryl Streep have all received Emmy nominations for guest roles on the series. (The Hollywood Reporter)

The main series has its own Emmy streak. Only Murders in the Building has been nominated for outstanding comedy series every year since its first season in 2021, and season 5 earned five nominations in total, including that same top category. (The Hollywood Reporter)

For a show entering its sixth season on a streaming platform, that kind of consistency is rare. Comedy series often lose awards traction as they age, and few streaming originals have sustained year-on-year Emmy recognition across more than five seasons. Whether the London move and the new ensemble keep that streak alive will be a story for the next cycle of nominations.

For now, the cast, crew, and writers' rooms have a clear signal: keep going.
