Only Murders in the Building has quickly become a Hulu success story. The stunning series has racked up a total of 17 Emmy nominations after only two seasons. With this in mind, it’s not surprising that Only Murders in the Building will return for season 3.
The series finale of OMITB Season 2 is set to release on Hulu on August 23, 2022. Although there is no premiere date yet for season 3, it might come out sooner than you think.
