Only Murders Launches Official Podcast Ahead of Season 5
The Arconia expands beyond the screen with a new podcast hosted by Michael Cyril Creighton, premiering the same day as Season 5.
Fans of Only Murders in the Building are getting a fresh way to explore the show. Hulu and Disney+ have unveiled the official companion podcast, hosted by cast member Michael Cyril Creighton, who plays Howard Morris. The podcast debuts on September 9, 2025, aligning with the launch of the highly anticipated fifth season.
The trailer for the podcast, titled The Official “Only Murders in the Building” Podcast, hints at a deeper dive into the mysteries and behind-the-scenes stories of the series. Each episode will break down the show’s events with cast and crew members, offering fans an insider’s perspective.
Creighton’s role as host reflects a clever twist: his character Howard has long been a devoted true-crime follower within the show. Now, that meta energy extends to real life, with the actor leading discussions that bridge the fictional Arconia and its dedicated fanbase.
The upcoming season teases a storyline involving the “new mob of New York City” and the mysterious death of the doorman Lester, suggesting darker and more complex twists for Charles, Oliver, and Mabel. The podcast promises to unpack these developments as they unfold on screen.
Season 5 continues the series’ tradition of high-profile guest stars. Alongside Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, the new season welcomes Keegan-Michael Key, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Christoph Waltz, Téa Leoni, Beanie Feldstein, and Jermaine Fowler. Returning players like Meryl Streep and Paul Rudd add to the ensemble’s star power.
Produced by 20th Television, the series has become a critical darling with multiple Emmy and Golden Globe nominations. By extending its storytelling into podcast form, the franchise underscores how streaming hits are increasingly blending formats to sustain audience engagement.
International viewers can stream Season 5 on Disney+, while U.S. audiences will find it on Hulu. The podcast will be available across major platforms, giving fans a way to accompany each episode with commentary and insights in real time.
