Despite the failure of the fourth season of Only Murders in the Building, the Selena Gomez program has been renewed for another season. Although the announcement delighted many long-time fans, some felt the storyline had fallen flat in previous seasons. With the current season still running, it appears like fans will have to wait and see how everything is set up for the next one.

Only Murders in the Building, which launched in 2021, was well-received for its unusual blend of murder mystery and comedy. However, with the continued release of the series’ fourth season, there has been a surge of confusion as the show has struggled to achieve the same heights as in prior seasons. Now, the show has confirmed that it will return for its fifth season. However, the news has many people asking if it’s truly worth it.

While the lack of interest from fans might be sad, it is not the first time that it has happened. In fact, fans of the Amazon Prime series The Boys, recently faced a similar issue when the fourth season of the show aired. Although it ended up being a success with its signature brutal action and dark humor, the plotlines felt stretched, and key character developments took a backseat. The season finale may have ended with a bang. However, some fans could not help but feel a little let down by the mediocrity of it all.

The recent news of the fifth season renewal of Only Murders in the Building on X was met with a wave of emotions from fans. While some could not wait to see what was in store, others seemed a little less than enthusiastic, even the lead actress was unsure about the fate of the show. After all, the fourth season had only just made its way online only weeks ago and still has a way to go before reaching the season finale.

Although the show had centered on Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin’s characters, the new season brought in a slew of new and well-known faces like Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, Meryl Streep, and Zach Galifianakis. While those were just some cameos so far, fans could not help but notice that the plot was lacking. In fact, with the series following the footsteps of The Boys with their overplayed continuations, they’re at risk of losing more viewers.

With each season focused on a fresh murder or attempt in Arconia, it’s no surprise that viewers are losing interest in the drama. In fact, fans of the Gomez show flocked to social media to express their opinions on the renewal. One fan even went so far as to add, “How many 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ers are in that building? Omg.”

Ok atp we need to start questioning whos really doing the murders

“I need this show to end soon so Selena can go kick Justin to the side and become the main character of the wizards reboot 😭

With a lot of netizens being done with the 32-year-old’s series, there is no saying how the viewership for the fifth season will turn out. However, the intrigue could switch based on how the current season ends.

What will Selena Gomez’s Only Murders in the Building season 5 be about?

The fourth season of Only Murders in the Building has yet to finish its finale. However, viewers have already began to speculate about what will happen next season. As always, fans may be left high and dry at the end of the current season. Some shows, such as HBO’s House of the Dragon, often end on a cliffhanger.

Although it is impossible to predict what will happen in the episode, there is no question that it will revolve around an unexpected murder. Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin have been spotted heading to several locations, including Los Angeles. However, this has not been confirmed.

With so much uncertainty surrounding the series right now, viewers will have to wait until the season four finale to get the whole vision for season five.
