Because Of Course, More Murder in 'Only Murders in the Building' Season 4

Get ready to clutch your pearls, folks! The chaos squad of Arconia is back, and surprise, surprise—they've traded in New York's glamour for LA's grime. In what can only be described as Hulu’s latest attempt to give us all high blood pressure, Season 4 of "Only Murders in the Building" sees Mabel, Charles, and Oliver diving headfirst into Hollywood's cesspool. Oh, and did we mention the murder of Charles' stunt double, Sazz Pataki?

Pataki, who was just grabbing a bottle of wine to toast Oliver’s Broadway triumph, caught a bullet through the window—right in the chest. As she gasps her last breaths, she starts scribbling a message in blood on the kitchen floor. Because who needs a notepad when you're dying? Cue the dramatic black screen cut.

Left with questions about Sazz’s murder and the lingering suspicion that the killer might have been aiming for Charles, our amateur sleuths haul ass back to New York. Hulu promises "an even more epic journey" as they explore the "twisted lives" of the Arconia’s West Tower residents. Because clearly, they don’t have enough on their plate.
