Summary
Only murder in the Buildinghas convinced me that shifting the setting to Los Angeles in season 4 could function well . Since time of year 1 , Hulu ’s democratic murder enigma - funniness series has taken place in New York City , with the main death in each season taking place in the Arconia apartment building . Even though the most recent dupe , Sazz Pataki ( Jane Lynch ) , was also murdered in the Arconia inOnly Murders in the Building ’s season 3 ending , time of year 4 will partially take place in Los Angeles .
Before uncover Sazz ’s death , time of year 3 teased the potential context variety as Loretta Durkin ( Meryl Streep ) and Tobert ( Jesse Williams ) moved to Los Angeles for new calling opportunity , and Oliver Putnam ( Martin Short ) and Mabel Mora ( Selena Gomez ) discuss the possibility of visiting . With Loretta repay in season 3 , Oliver , Mabel , and Charles - Haden Savage ( Steve Martin ) going to Los Angeles makes gumption , but I was skeptical about the setting change , as the series is deeply intertwined with New York City . Because ofOnly Murder ’s in the Building ’s season 4 prevue , I ’ve come around to the estimate of the show making such a big modification I was once sceptical of .
The account of Mabel Mora ( Selena Gomez ) faces an ongoing narrative problem with Only Murders in the Building time of year 4 ’s lacking character .
Only Murders In The Building Season 4 Is Taking Full Advantage Of Its Hollywood Setting

Charles ' career in television and Oliver ’s career in musical dramaturgy have provide insightful commentary and diverting scenario based on both of these industry . time of year 4 is taking this further with the culture hem in Hollywood megahit films , which is ripe for meta commentary given much of the star - studded casting ’s experience . I am also glad to see that the terzetto will not be restricted to play with producer and movie stars as they are image in many different location across Los Angeles as well .
Using Real Celebrities In Its Murder Mystery Is Selling Me On OMITB Season 4
It Will Enhance Season 4’s Comedy
Only murder in the Buildingcould have throw anyone to work Charles , Oliver , and Mabel in their Hollywood picture , but this secret plan is made more compelling with the serial publication casting actual celebrity in Levy , Galifianakis , and Longoria . Poking sport at famous person culture will make for much better with literal celebrities in these rolesand is consistent with the series ' often self - deprecating temper . This is already exhibit in the dawdler when Levy asserts that he is not a minor and then asks Mabel if she can open up his snack since his assistant is not present to do so .
With season 4 also roll around solving Sazz ’s death in New York City , I am hopeful that Levy , Galifianakis , and Longoria can also be incorporated into the overarching enigma , which seems more likely with the drone indicate Longoria ’s eager chemical reaction to find out that Mabel and her podcasting partner have a raw dying to solve . They can be important in Los Angeles and when the story extend back to New York City . The potential teased in theOnly Murders in the Buildingseason 4 trailer makes me reckon the Los Angeles circumstance could be really effective .
