A Bold Geographic Shift for the Mystery Trio
Only Murders in the Building has spent five seasons solving crimes in the iconic Arconia apartment building in New York City.

This international expansion shows the show’s confidence after five successful seasons. The Hulu original series has become one of the platform’s most talked-about shows since its debut in 2021. Moving to London introduces fresh locations, new characters, and exciting murder mysteries waiting to be uncovered across the Atlantic.

What’s Different About This Season’s Format
Season 6 represents the most dramatic change in the show’s setting since its premiere. Every previous season kept the amateur detectives anchored to New York and the Arconia. The London setting promises new mystery angles and a fresh cast of characters for the trio to interact with.
Fans have speculated about how the Arconia residents will adapt to a new city. Will they be visiting London on vacation or have they relocated permanently? The mystery of what brings Charles, Oliver, and Mabel across the Atlantic adds intrigue to season 6. Hulu has been careful not to reveal plot details, keeping the premise under wraps for now.
When Will Only Murders in the Building Season 6 Premiere?
Hulu has not yet announced an official premiere date for season 6. Typically, the show releases in late summer or early fall, which suggests a 2027 premiere window is likely. Filming is just beginning this month, so production will take several months to complete.
Fans eager for the next mystery can expect updates as production progresses through 2026. Hulu usually makes official premiere announcements months in advance, so viewers should keep an eye on the platform’s announcements. In the meantime, all five previous seasons are available to stream for those planning a rewatch before the London adventure begins.
