Posted by Filed under

Filming commences in New York on season 5 of Only Murders in the Building this week. 

As it kicks off, Deadline have broken news of another starry addition to the cast: Renée Zellweger.

The Bridget Jones star joins the previously announced Christoph Waltz, Tea Leoni and Keegan-Michael Key.

Understandably, character details and plotlines remain rightly under wraps, but doubtless the show will pick up with the investigation of the murder revealed in the series 4 finale – the death of the Arconia building’s footman Lester (Teddy Coluca).

Oliver (Martin Short), Mabel (Selena Gomez) and Steve Martin (Charles) all return to their duties as the podcast sleuths, alongside Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard.

Season 4 of the show boasted the most stellar line-up so far, as it dealt with the murder of Charles’ stunt double Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch) and a Hollywood movie project about the trio’s exploits. It featured Meryl Streep, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, Molly Shannon, Eva Longoria, Zach Galifinakis, Richard Kind, Kumail Nanjiani and Melissa McCarthy.

We’ll keep you posted on Only Murders in the Building season 5.

The show streams on Hulu in the US, and Disney+ in the rest of the world.
