ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING

FROM TUESDAY 28 JUNE, STAR ON DISNEY+ COMEDY DRAMA

The heady mix of an intriguing mystery, laugh-out-loud humour and an A-list cast proved a winning combination when glossy comedy-drama Only Murders in the Building made its debut on Star on Disney+ last summer.

Now, the show is back for a second 10- part run (the first two eps are out from 28 June, followed by a new instalment weekly), which rejoins budding artist Mabel (Selena Gomez), struggling actor Charles (Steve Martin) and flamboyant theatre director Oliver (Martin Short), who all live in New York City apartment block The Arconia and have bonded over their love of true-crime podcasts.

The first season saw the amateur detectives make their own podcast while investigating a neighbour’s murder. But after exposing the killer, they stumbled across another body and have now been arrested themselves after evidence placed them in the frame! Can they clear their names?

Here, Hollywood stars Selena, 29, Steve, 76, and Martin, 72, tell us more…

PRIME SUSPECTS

At the end of the last series, The Arconia’s board president, Bunny ( Jayne Houdyshell), was found dead, apparently killed with Mabel’s knitting needle.

Charles, Oliver and Mabel ended up in handcuffs, and as we pick up the action in season two, they’re now facing intense questioning from no-nonsense Detective Kreps (Michael Rapaport).
