Only Murders in the Building s4 lands near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes rating
The fourth season of Only Murders in the Building has finally premiered, with the show landing a near-perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.
The Disney+ show sees Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez return as Charles-Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam and Mabel Mora, respectively. The amateur podcasting trio are going global as a Hollywood film based on their exploits is being made.
As the group meet the stars who play them – Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis and Eva Longoria – they are quickly drawn back into their everyday lives as another murder occurs.

Though the action might be a bit more expansive this time around, critics are still in love with the crew behind the titular podcast, with the season landing an impressive 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes from its first 29 reviews.
You can read a selection of reviews below:
"The charm of Only Murders goes beyond the celebs and the steady stream of one-liners and slapstick humour. Alongside the comedy, the show has always been dutifully about constructing a compelling whodunnit."
"That the show tackles themes of loss and loneliness, growing up and ageing, self-doubt and self-certainty without ever succumbing to earnestness is a testament to the light-touch writing and charming performances."
"For its star-packed fourth outing, Only Murders in the Building blends the celebrities-playing-a-heightened-version-of-themselves with the ever-precious play-within-a-play, and the result is pretty fun."
"Season 4 never loses a step in its commitment to deliver a compelling whodunnit."
"Elicits more laughs than any small-screen comedy since last year's instalment."
"None of its satire of Tinseltown – stars who act like divas, manipulative producers – seems terribly original, but there are many pleasures."
Only Murders in the Building streams on Disney+ and Hulu.
