Why are they making us wait? Well, for starters, Steve Martin and Martin Short aren’t spring chickens—they’re like fine wines that require constant, hilarious corking. And let’s not forget Selena Gomez is busy being a global pop icon and running a makeup empire, which apparently takes precedence over solving random New York murders. The real villain here might just be the complex production schedule, which includes cleaning all that fake blood out of Mabel’s sweaters.
Another shocking fact: each episode takes about three times longer to film than a normal sitcom because of all the impeccable red herrings and hidden clues. The prop department reportedly has to create dozens of fake “poisoned dips” and “exploding toasters” per scene. That’s why we wait. They’re busy making sure that when Charles-Haden Savage trips over a corpse, it’s both absurd and artfully lit.
The Plot Predictions (That I Just Made Up)
So what’s the mystery going to be this time? If you believe the internet—and you shouldn’t, because that’s where the Dodo bird lives now—Season 6 will take the trio to a haunted Broadway theater. I’m betting Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) will accidentally direct a musical about the murder, complete with a tap-dancing death scene. Imagine him yelling, “The killer is in the second row! And she’s humming the chorus!”
Only Murders in the Building Season 6 Release Date: Plot Predictions
Personally, I think we’re overdue for an episode where every single character is a suspect, including the building’s super, the mailman, and that one pigeon that keeps staring at Mabel. The writers could pull a wild card and make the murderer someone from Season 1, returning for revenge, like a vengeful barista who was fired for serving bad oat milk. Honestly, at this point, I’d watch an episode where they just argue over who gets to hold the flashlight during a climax.
