Only Murders in the Building Season 6 Moves to London with Expanded Cast
Only Murders in the Building season 6 is currently filming in the United Kingdom, marking the first time the Hulu/Disney+ series has moved its setting outside New York City. The new season will follow leads Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as they investigate a mystery in London, with a large roster of British guest stars confirmed including Martin Freeman, Derek Jacobi, Jennifer Saunders, and Simone Ashley. The London relocation represents a significant format shift for the show, which has been set exclusively at the Arconia apartment building since its 2021 debut.
Season 6 of Only Murders in the Building is in active production in the UK, with Disney and Hulu confirming a substantial lineup of new recurring guest stars. Variety exclusively reported the addition of Martin Freeman, Geri Halliwell-Horner, Jamie Demetriou, Anjana Vasan, Jane Horrocks, Derek Jacobi, and Lesley Nicol, joining previously announced guests Jennifer Saunders, Sean Teale, Simone Ashley, Amar Chadha-Patel, Rhea Norwood, Matthew Beard, and Sharon Horgan. Core cast members Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, and Michael Cyril Creighton are all expected to return. The season's plot is set to pick up from the Season 5 finale cliffhanger, in which podcaster Cinda Canning — played by Tina Fey — was found bleeding at the Arconia gates after returning to the US connected to a woman accused of a royal murder in the UK. Da'Vine Joy Randolph has been spotted on set but her involvement has not been officially confirmed. No premiere date has been announced, though the show's historical pace of one season per year suggests a potential late 2026 release; the season is reported to consist of 10 episodes.

TechRadar focused primarily on fan-facing details and plot speculation, while Variety led with an exclusive casting scoop emphasizing the business and talent representation angle.

Both pieces are written from a conservative perspective and appear in right-leaning outlets. The arguments reflect a broader debate about what American institutions should preserve or restore as the nation marks a major milestone.
