Only Murders In The Building season 4 premieres at Paramount Studios

Only Murders In The Building combines the old and the new seamlessly. The show puts Martin Short and Steve Martin in cahoots with Selena Gomez, who is at least a couple generations removed from them, and it works. It makes you view present-day New York through a lens of some very old world charm, and that works too.

It also combines the obsessive curiosity of the very lonely with the access to information that technology brings, and that works to create a great backdrop for various mysteries.

The three protagonists of the show, Charles, Mabel, and Oliver, played by Martin, Gomez, and Short respectively bond over murder mystery podcasts initially, and then go on to create their own.

While their investigations often are unsolicited, unwanted, and really all over the place, the trio faithfully record and broadcast their findings on their podcast: Only Murders In The Building.

The series returns to Hulu on August 27, and features a movie-within-a-show, which casts Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Zach Galifianakis to play our intrepid investigators.

If you aren't a fan yet, perhaps this season will change your mind - and you have time to catch up on the previous three seasons too!
