New Delhi, Jul 29 (PTI) Popular series "Only Murders in the Building" is set to return for its fifth season on JioHotstar, debuting on September 9. The announcement came from the streaming platform on Tuesday. The show sees actors Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez reprising their roles as Charles Haden-Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora—neighbors in a New York City apartment complex who become amateur sleuths, solving murder mysteries while recording a true crime podcast.
