Watch Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Teaser — Plus, Every 'Clue' Compiled About Hulu Comedy's Return
True-crime podcasters-turned-prime suspects Oliver, Charles and Mabel are the talk of the town in Only Murders in the Building Season 2.
Disney-owned Hulu dropped the first footage from OMITB's highly anticipated return during ABC's telecast of the 2022 Academy Awards. The amateur sleuths have been warned not to speak out about their suspected role in the latest homicide to send shockwaves through the Arconia, but they refuse to stay silent.
"We, here, at Only Murders in the Building... we will not be going quietly," Mabel says during a recording of the show within a show.
Watch the embedded teaser above, then scroll down for a complete breakdown of everything that's been reported about Only Murders Season 2.
WHERE WE LEFT OFF IN SEASON 1
Almost as soon as Charles' bassoonist girlfriend Jan was found to be Tim Kono's killer, the Oct. 19 finale established a second whodunnit and took OMITB in a whole new direction. In the closing minutes of the episode, Charles and Oliver ran into Mabel's apartment to find their fellow amateur sleuth covered in blood. At her feet was another murder victim in a tie-dye hoodie — but it wasn't Oscar, it was Arconia board president Bunny Folger who had been stabbed to death with Mabel's knitting needle. Seconds later, a SWAT team busted in and arrested all three of them.
WHERE WE PICK UP IN SEASON 2
"Following the shocking death of Arconia board president Bunny Folger, Charles, Oliver and Mabel race to unmask her killer," according to the official logline. "However, three (unfortunate) complications ensue: the trio is publicly implicated in Bunny's homicide, they are now the subjects of a competing podcast, and they have to deal with a bunch of New York neighbors who all think they committed murder."
RETURNING CAST
❖ The central trio — Steve Martin (Charles), Martin Short (Oliver) and Selena Gomez (Mabel) — remains intact. Recurring guest star Nathan Lane (Teddy Dimas) is also confirmed to return.
