Only Murders in the Building Season 6 premieres on December 8, and the move to London gives Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short a new case to solve. The shift away from New York City puts Hulu subscribers in the U.S. and Disney+ viewers overseas on the same release path.
December 8 in London
Season 6 moves the story from New York City to London, where Charles, Oliver and Mabel take on what is described as their hardest case yet. The trio is summoned there by Cinda Canning, who arrives at their doorstep and sends them after her killer.
That setup puts the show on a cleaner business footing than a loose return-to-form mystery: one date, one setting change, one new case. For viewers, the practical takeaway is simple — the new season lands on the same day across Hulu in the U.S., Hulu on Disney+ for bundle subscribers in the U.S., and Disney+ internationally.
Cinda Canning in the frame
Cinda Canning is the next victim, and that detail pushes the season beyond a simple location change. The trio is sent to London to catch her killer, but the season’s framing leaves the timeline tight and the stakes immediate from the first episode.
Season 6 also adds a run of guest stars that includes Tina Fey, Olivia Colman, Meryl Streep, David Tennant, Nicola Coughlan and Martin Freeman. John Hoffman, who co-created and writes the series, is among the executive producers alongside Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Dan Fogelman, Jess Rosenthal, Ben Smith, Jennifer Crittenden and Gabrielle Allan.
Hulu and Disney+
Only Murders in the Building has always worked as a hybrid of character comedy and murder mystery, and the London move leans harder into the genre side. Setting the season in London for the trio’s hardest case yet gives the series a fresh backdrop without changing the core draw: Charles, Oliver and Mabel back in the center of the investigation.
That makes December 8 the date to watch. The new season is not just arriving with another victim and another roster of guest stars; it is repositioning the show in a new city while keeping the same three leads in place, which is the clearest sign that the series wants scale without losing its structure.
