Only Murders in the Building is a comedic crime drama series based on the true-crime obsession of the contemporary world. The story follows the three strangers, Charles Hayden-Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, who have nothing in common except for the fact that they love Cindy Canning’s true-crime podcast while living in the same Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.

When a suspicious death occurs in the building, the three strangers decide to solve the case while making their obsession with podcasting into a reality. Steve Martin, who plays the role of Oliver Putnam, created the show with John Hoffman. Thembi Banks and Jane Raab produced the series for the streaming platform Hulu. The first episode of the debut season was released on August 31, 2021.

Hulu, in September 2021, announced the renewal of the show for a second season. The series has garnered quite an acclaim for itself. The fresh perspective on the current world, the characterization, and the chemistry between the actors are lauded by critics and its treatment of the script. The show has gained 18 nominations in the major award categories while winning in 2 of them.

The series, Only Murders in the Building, follow three strangers: Charles Hayden-Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, who have nothing in common except for the fact that they love Cindy Canning’s true-crime podcast while also living in the same Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.

The trio suddenly finds themselves wrapped in one of the supposed death in the building, which is suspicious enough to know that it is a murder. However, the police rule the death as a suicide. The three strangers are enveloped in the dangerous waters as they decide to solve the case independently while making their obsession with podcasting into a reality.

The truth they learn is way more explosive than the lies they have told each other that eventually threaten their lives. So the three of them have to solve the mystery as quickly as possible before there is too late.
