Only Murders in the Building, a hit on Hulu, will air on ABC in January. All ten episodes of season one will run across four nights. 

The event begins Tuesday, January 2, with episodes 1-3. January 9, it’s episodes 4-6. January 16 is episodes 7-9 and the season finale is on January 23. Episodes begin at 9 p.m. ET each night. 

Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are in the cast. 

ABC called Only Murders in the Building the most-viewed Hulu original comedy. It follows three strangers, played by Martin, Short and Gomez, who are obsessed with true crime and find a hot case in their New York City apartment building. 

“As they record a podcast of their own to document the case, the three unravel the complex secrets of the building, which stretch back years,” said ABC. “Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living amongst them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.”

Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season four. 

The broadcast networks are getting creative to come up with fresh content following the strikes in Hollywood. CBS, for one, has aired Paramount Network’s hit drama Yellowstone. 

Martin, Short, Gomez, John Hoffman, Jamie Babbit, Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal executive produce Only Murders. 

The series is produced by 20th Television. 

Both ABC and Hulu are part of The Walt Disney Company. 

Hulu has ordered a fourth season of Only Murders in the Building, the dark comedy about Manhattanites digging for clues in and around their apartment building. 

“The trio's journey is far from over,” the network said on X. 

Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short play residents of a Manhattan apartment building who team up to launch a podcast about the suspicious death of a resident in the building. 

Season three began August 8. 

Martin and John Hoffman created the show. Dan Fogelman, creator of This Is Us, executive produces the series with Martin, Hoffman, Short, Gomez, Jamie Babbitt and Jess Rosenthal.

Guest stars have included Meryl Streep, Sting and Paul Rudd. 

The show was nominated for best comedy at the Golden Globes in 2022 and 2023, and the Emmys in the same years. 

In its first week after being released, season three of Only Murders in the Building on Hulu jumped into the top TVision’s Power Score ranking of connected TV programs.

Season one of the series, starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, also made the Top 20, coming in at No. 18 for the week of August 7.

TVision notes that when a new season of a popular series drops, earlier seasons often show up on the list.

Netflix’s new Painkiller was the No. 2 show on the list 

The Lincoln Lawyer (season two), also from Netflix, was third, followed by Apple TV Plus’s Hijack and Paramount Plus’s Star Trek: Strange New Worlds to round out the Top 5.

Hijack was the No. 1 show the previous week.

Netflix landed six shows on the list for the week.

A total of seven streaming services had programs in the Top 20.

The TV Power Score ranking is designed to compare streaming shows on an apples-to-apples basis. In calculating its Power Score, TVision, which measures activity across over 1,000 apps, looks at the amount of time viewers pay attention to the program, the amount of program time available for the season, the program’s reach, as well as the application’s reach.

TVision said it chose that combination of metrics to enable a neutral look at the quality of programming and its unique, inherent ability to draw in viewers — regardless of the scale of the platform, or the program’s release schedule.

Only Murders in The Building star Selena Gomez opens up about her mental heath issues in a new trailer for Apple TV Plus's documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me, debuting November 4.

The trailer, released on World Mental Health Day in support of global mental health education and awareness, showcases the actress/singer/entertainer's own mental health journey over a six-year span, according to Apple TV.

Gomez's series Only Murders in the Building, which also stars Martin Short and Steve Martin, was nominated for a 2022 Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series.

Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me is directed and produced by Alek Keshishian (Madonna: Truth or Dare). ■

If you total the viewership for all five seasons of the locally produced Spanish thriller Money Heist on Netflix, the hours viewed number comes close to matching the record-smashing performance of Korean-language sci-fi show Squid Game. Now focused on producing local-language hits, perhaps that's what Netflix is thinking by commissioning a Korean version of Money Heist, which is due out this week. Indeed, it's a big week for established entertainment brands, with Paramount Plus launching yet another Beavis & Butt-Head movie, and the returns of Hulu's Only Murders in the Building, HBO's Westworld and Showtime's The Chi. 

Beavis and Butt-Head Do The Universe (Paramount Plus, June 23)

This animated feature film starring MTV’s iconic -- and highly sophomoric -- cartoon characters was written, directed and produced by the Beavis and Butt-Head mastermind himself, Mike Judge. Judge, who invented the "BBU" 30 years ago, is also the voice of both Beavis and Butt-Head, teenage slackers with strong libidos who can’t attract women. While it has been 11 years since the last episode of the Beavis and Butt-Head series aired on MTV, nothing has changed about the duo in the film, which is set in 1998. The movie begins when Beavis and Butt-Head are ordered by a juvenile court judge to attend space camp. After ruining a NASA mission, the duo find themselves alone in space where they enter a black hole that transfers them to the year 2022. The pair have a rough time adjusting to the new decade.
"Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe is an admirable follow-up to 1996’s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, proving that amusing inanity never goes out of style," wrote The Daily Beast's Nick Schager.

Man vs. Bee - Season 1 (Netflix, June 24)

This new, nine-episode series stars Rowan Atkinson (a.k.a. Mr. Bean) as a man named Trevor Bingley, who goes to war with a bee while house sitting a luxurious mansion full of priceless items. While there are moments that Bingley feels like he's once again playing the iconic Mr. Bean (the eponymous series was first broadcast on Britain’s ITV in 1990) the Independent’s Sean O'Grady wrote that “Atkinson as Bingley is much more engaging than Bean… The fantastical plots and twists work surprisingly well in the end, after all the Beanery.”

Loot – Season 1 (Apple TV Plus, June 24)

When Molly Novak (Maya Rudolph) discovers that her husband of 20 years has been cheating on her, she finds herself with a $87 billion divorce settlement. Not bad. But the high-society woman doesn’t know what to do with all that money. “I need to prove that I have substance,” Novak says. So she does what any ultra-rich woman does --  she throws herself into charity work. If Apple doesn’t get too sentimental about Novak “finding herself,” the show could be very funny. “There’s a lot to enjoy about Loot, starting with its timely narrative and solid showcase for some of Maya Rudolph’s myriad skills,” wrote The Hollywood Reporter’s Daniel Fienberg.

The Chi - Season 5 (Showtime, June 24)

This hit ensemble drama series created by Lena Waithe is about a community on the South Side of Chicago. Season 4 ended with plenty of drama that involved a dangerous mayor, community policing and the realities of an open marriage. The fifth season focuses on love, but not only the romantic kind. Instead, the series explores relationships with one’s self, between parent and child, and resident and community. Cast members include Jason Mitchell, Tiffany Boone, Shamon Brown Jr., Alex R. Hibbert, Curtiss Cook, and Common. Showtime claims that The Chi is one of the most streamed series on the network with an average of 4.2 million weekly viewers across all platforms during Season 3.

Money Heist: Korea - Joint Economic Area (Netflix, June 24)

A Korean remake of Netflix’s hit Spanish crime drama Money Heist, this 12-episode series is directed by Kim Hong-Sun and stars Yoo Ji-tae, Kim Yunjin, Park Hae-soo and Jeon Jong-seo. The series takes place as North and South Korea are on the verge of a peaceful reunification after nearly 80 years of division. But as the nation’s prepare to print a brand-new unified currency, a heist is hatched. A genius strategist known as the Professor assembles a motley crew of top-tier thieves to steal the new currency. If this series is anything like the original Spanish heist series, which ranks among the top five most watched series on Netflix ever, then the streaming company has another hit on their hands. It’s not hard to imagine given the similar storyline and let's not forget that Korean releases like Squid Game have proven to be immediate hit.

Mötley Crüe’s Vince Neil: My Story (Reelz, June 26)

Following the Netflix film biopic The Dirt, Hulu's Pam and Tommy and Reelz' unauthorized Breaking the Band: Mötley Crüe, you could almost invent a new video entertainment genre: Mötley Crüe Stories. Certainly, the hard road driven -- sometimes soberly -- by the band's infamous lead singer, Vince Neal, could merit its own chapter. Neil executive produced the two-hour doc, which features interviews with Crüe bandmates Nikki Sixx and Tommy Lee, as well as family members, friends and journalists who have covered Neil’s career.

Westworld - Season 4 (HBO Max, June 26)

It’s been over two years since the third season of the Emmy-winning dystopian sci-fi series Westworld aired on HBO. Show-runners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy have kept their lips sealed about any fourth-season details. HBO describes the latest season as “a dark odyssey about the fate of sentient life on Earth.” What we do know is that James Marsden will return to the series after his character, Teddy Flood offed himself in the second season. It’s also been announced that Oscar winner Ariana DeBose (West Side Story) will have a recurring role in the  robot apocalypse series. Marsden and DeBose join the show’s all-star cast including Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Thandiwe Newton, Luke Hemsworth, Ed Harris, Tessa Thompson and Aaron Paul. Westworld, which was inspired by Michael Crichton's eponymous 1973 film, is centered around a futuristic Wild West fantasy park where a group of android "hosts" deviate from their programmers' carefully planned scripts. Chaos ensues. While Season 3 was criticized for being too confusing, The Atlantic’s Sophie Gilbert wrote “This is a zanier, sillier Westworld, and much more entertaining for it.” 

Only Murders in the Building - Season 2 (Hulu, June 28)

Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short star as three true-crime podcast loving tenants at The Arconia, a New York apartment complex. Season 1 saw the trio team up to form their own podcast while they solve the murder Arconia tenant Tim Kono (Justin Cihi). Season 2 follows the threesome, who have been framed for the murder of Arconia board president Bunny (Jayne Houdyshell), as they race to clear their names by solving the crime while simultaneously competing with a rival podcast. Season 1 of the comedy-thriller series scored an aggregated 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. “The series soon turns out to be -- like The Princess Bride, Galaxy Quest, or Jane the Virgin -- that rare and wonderful thing: the parody that also offers a great example of the genuine article,” wrote Rolling Stone’s Alan Sepinwall.

The Upshaws: Season 2 Part 1 (Netflix, June 29)

This multi-cam sitcom created by Wanda Sykes and Regina Hicks is about Bennie Upshaw (Mike Epps), the head of a Black working class family in Indianapolis. The show follows Upshaw as he tries to care for his family, which includes his wife, Regina (Kim Fields), their two young daughters (Khali Spraggins, Journey Christine), first-born son (Jermelle Simon) and the teenage son (Diamond Lyons) he fathered with another woman (Gabrielle Dennis). Oh yeah, Bennie also has to deal with his annoying sister-in-law (Wanda Sykes). Luckily this is a sitcom. In the second season’s first eight episodes, the Upshaws are once again attempting to wade through the challenges of life.  The new season will feature 16 half-hour episodes, an increase from season one’s 10 episodes. “Having such a particular blended family immediately gives “The Upshaws” a specificity that really works for it, especially when the scripts lean all the way in by letting the characters react to it all individually, too,” wrote Variety’s Caroline Framke about season one.

Season two of whodunit comedy Only Murders in the Building begins on Hulu June 28. The network shared the news on YouTube March 27.
