Only Murders in the Building is moving this side of the pond for season six and is set to welcome a host of famous faces from the UK and Ireland on its latest investigation.

After season 5 saw the crime-solving neighbours mingling with the mob to find out who killed beloved doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca), the three are now called to investigate a murder that almost didn’t occur in the building.<\/p>\n

In the final moments of the previous instalment, aired in 2025, a red-haired woman revealed to be none other than popular podcaster Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) makes her way to the gates of the Arconia and draws her last breath in front of a shocked Charles, Oliver and Mabel.<\/p>\n

Cinda’s latest, and final, podcast on a red-haired woman accused of killing a royal descendant in London holds the clues to this complex case.<\/p>\n
