The Only Murders In The Building season five return date has finally been confirmed as Steve Martin, Selena Gomez and Martin Short reunite in a first look picture.
The beloved crime show will be making its comeback to Disney+ on September 9, with ten brand new episodes, after the fourth series finished in October last year.
The programme follows three neighbours, all with a keen interest in true crime podcasts, living in an upmarket apartment building in New York City.
They begin investigating a series of suspicious murders in the so-called Arconia block of flats and make their own podcast about their discoveries.
Three episodes of the upcoming fifth instalment will hit the streamer in the first instance, followed by one every week subsequently.
And a first look image at the return of Steve, Selena and Martin's characters looking utterly shocked promises some exciting twists and turns are on the way.
The plot of the new series will again follow their characters: the semi-retired, washed up actor Charles; young artist, apartment renovator and murder mystery enthusiast Mabel; and struggling Broadway director Oliver.
After the building's much-loved doorman Lester (Teddy Coluca) mysteriously dies, the trio refuse to believe it could be an accident.
They do what they do best and begin digging - gradually revealing a mysterious web of billionaires, mobsters and shady characters within the building itself.
Michael Cyril Creighton will be back as their cat-lover neighbour and podcast assistant Howard, as will Meryl Streep as Oliver's wife Loretta.
They will be joined by a legion of stellar guest stars, including Da'Vine Joy Randolph, Renee Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Keegan Michael-Key and Dianne Wiest.
Other huge stars set to make an appearance include Richard Kind, Nathan Lane, Bobby Cannavale, Logan Lerman, Tea Leoni, Beanie Feldstein and Jermaine Fowler.
The series was co-created in 2021 by lead actor Steve and his writing partner John Hoffman - and has been a roaring success ever since.
It comes after the fourth season saw the leads travel from their hometown of New York City to Hollywood to work on a movie about how their podcast was created.
Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria and Zach Galifianakis played the detective trio in the movie within the most recent instalment.
They were joined by some new faces such as Melissa McCarthy and Molly Shannon - while Kumail Nanjiani was also onboard.
There was a murder to solve as well, of course, as every season involves a mystery the pals have to figure out.
In that series, Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), who was Charles' stunt double, was killed.
But the gang thought the murder was meant for Charles, not Sazz - and so the sleuths were determined to track down the killer.
Series four of Only Murders in the Building premiered on August 27 last year.
Unlike previous seasons, episodes aired on a weekly basis rather than all at once.
'New season. New case. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez return for Season 4 of #OMITB. August 27.
There was a murder to solve as well, of course, as every season involves a mystery the pals have to figure out
'Streaming on Hulu and with Hulu on Disney+ for Disney Bundle subscribers', it read on Hulu's Instagram page, the platform on which the show is aired in the US.
In May last year, the first teaser was shared for the fourth series of Only Murders In The Building.
It showed Selena, Steve and Martin stepping out of an elevator inside their apartment building, returning as their beloved trio of characters.
Former Disney channel star Selena could be seen in a glittering, gold dress as she talked to her co-stars.
'So, what's next podcast wise?' she asked, with Martin replying with, 'What we need, is a, hot fresh, dead body. Preferably, right here or very near to here.'
The scene then jumped to Jane's character's dead body, after her death at the very end of the third season.
'Somewhere lay a sniper's nest', Martin could be heard saying in a different scene. 'You know this is happening. We might as well just start', he told Steve.
The clip then cut to Selena reading out a message she received on her phone.
The trio was seen in Beverly Hills in a teaser shared in May last year
'I just got an email that a Hollywood studio wants to make a movie about our podcast.'
Martin, who was sitting on the floor, excited stood up and exclaimed, 'The pictures? Pack your bags b****es! We are going to the movies!'
Text on the screen appeared over different shots of Los Angeles and teased fans: 'Get ready for the starriest season yet.'
A montage of Selena, Steve and Martin attempting to solve the murder mystery appeared during the trailer.
In some mysterious moments, Selena was seen at one point looking through a dimly lit kitchen with her phone and a pig running down a hall.
Another scene showed Steve calling out, 'Hello Hollywood!' while the trio stood through the sun roof of a sleek limo while being driven down a street lined with scenic palm trees as they ate fast food.

Joey Lawrence reveals how he won back wife Samantha Cope after her divorce filing and THOSE affair rumors

Joey Lawrence shed light into his reconciliation with his wife Samantha Cope, five months after she filed for divorce in 2024. When asked about his decision to repair his marriage, the Melissa and Joey star, 49, urged others not to 'give up' without a fight. 'I think it's too easy,' he explained of why they got back together. 'As much you don't want to take an easy way out, or you think this will be the fix—it's not always the case. I just didn't want to do that. And she didn't either.' Ultimately, he said they both came to the realization: 'Wait a minute. There's something so special here.' 'Things take a lot of work and a lot of dedication and reworking and retooling,' the father-of-three continued. 'That's life, though.' Lawrence went on to stress: 'That's life, though. As brothers, with your parents, with friends, in business, that's it. Everything takes so much work. Whatever it is, just don't give up, because you never know.' Last August, it was revealed that Cope had filed for divorce from Lawrence. She requested that both she and her estranged husband not receive any spousal support. She cited 'irreconcilable differences' as the reason for the split, and also asked for full custody of their daughter. Cope stated in documents obtained by Us Weekly that she will allow Dylan to stay with Joey two nights a week when she turns three. But in regards to Joey having extended visits with their daughter, Samantha stated that she wants to wait until Dylan is 'older and can consent to such visits.' Not long after she filed, Lawrence was accused of having an affair with his co-star and fellow actress, Melina Alves. The pair are set to appear in the upcoming film, Socked In For Christmas. In documents obtained by TMZ, Melina's estranged husband, Edward Rider - who filed for divorce in July - claimed that he discovered Alves and Lawrence were having an affair earlier this year in March. The affair allegedly took place in California as well as 'at various other times and places,' Rider claimed. At the time, a source told People that Lawrence 'love-bombed' Alves - which was something that he also did with Cope. 'Joey met Melina Alves on the set of their movie, where she was a producer,' the insider explained. Melina is also the writer and took on the role of Addy in the upcoming holiday flick,' the insider claimed. They also alleged he 'continued to date Melina even after Samantha found out about it and confronted him.' The source also expressed that Cope had wanted to attend marriage counseling, but Joey 'fooled their counselor' and would still 'get ready for dates with Melina while Sam watched, bawling her eyes out.' Cope and Lawrence first crossed paths in 2020 while on set of the Lifetime movie titled, My Husband's Secret Brother. The former couple became engaged in 2021, and said 'I do' the following year in 2022 during a ceremony held at the Temecula Creek Inn in California. At the time, Cope told People that her courtship with Lawrence was speedy: 'From day one, it was such a safe place to be myself. Two weeks in, I was like, "I will be with you forever."' She added, 'When you meet the right person, if you're lucky enough, it cuts to the chase so quick. I have somebody who is like-minded and has the same love language, and we communicate the same way. That's super important. And I am so thankful.' In January 2023, the couple welcomed their daughter, Dylan Rose, to the world. The Blossom actor was also previously married to Michelle Vella from 2002 through 2005. He later tied the knot with Chandie Yawn-Nelson in 2005 but the pair's divorce was finalized in 2022. They share daughters Charleston, 18, and Liberty, 14.
