Apparently, we\u2019ll find out when Only Murders In The Building returns later this year. Hulu\u2019s award-winning series, known for pulling off some great guest stars, is going all out for its London-set sixth season, with\u2014wait for it\u2014at least 22 new additions. That\u2019s enough people to fill up a whole damn wing of the Arconia.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>However, our favorite podcasting trio isn\u2019t even on the Upper West Side when the show returns, at least not for a while. As a refresher: Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) will jet off across the pond to figure out who killed Cinda Canning (Tina Fey) at the end of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.avclub.com\/only-murders-in-the-building-season-5-review-tv-hulu\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">season five<\/a> and why. Even though Cinda technically died inside their New York City building in the finale, we learn she was investigating a mystery about a distressed British woman.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Mabel, Charles, and Oliver go to London, they\u2019re about to bump into a huge roster of UK stars. Get ready for the name drops; because joining season six are David Tennant, Nicola Coughlan, Jim Broadbent, Jodie Whittaker, Richard Ayoade, Kathryn Hunter, Adrian Lukis, Simone Ashley, Martin Freeman, Anjana Vasan, Derek Jakobi, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Jamie Demetriou, Lesley Nicol, Jane Horrocks, Jennifer Saunders, Sean Teale, Simone Ashley, Amar Chadha-Patel, Rhea Norwood, Matthew Beard, and Sharon Horgan.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s still to be seen whether anyone is playing themselves, as previous OMITB guest stars like Sting, Matthew Broderick, Jimmy Fallon, Amy Schumer, Mel Brooks, Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Scott Bakula, and Hank Azaria have done over the years. Let\u2019s hope that series co-creators Martin and John Hoffman don\u2019t forget to bring back recurring stars like Da\u2019Vine Joy Randolph and Nathan Lane, either.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Only Murders In The Building season six will premiere later in 2026. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"How many actors from the British Isles are too many for an American TV comedy?
