Released in 2021, Only Murders in the Building is a Hulu mystery-comedy series that intelligently combines humor, suspense, and solving murders in the upscale apartment complex Arconia in Manhattan.
Charles-Haden Savage is one of the principals of the show, portrayed by Steve Martin, a semi-retired actor who enlists along with Oliver (Martin Short) and Mabel (Selena Gomez) in unraveling the murders in their apartment block.
In Season 5, Episode 9 of Only Murders in the Building, titled "LESTR," the inquiry into Lester's death heats up when the trio confronts the doorman, Randall, revealing ulterior intentions. The episode, which premieres on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, will be accessible for streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ globally.
More about Only Murders in the Building Season 5 Episode 9
It can be expected that episode 9, LESTR, will increase the tension since the investigation now enters its final phase. After the bombshell in the 8th episode, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel will be forced to deal with Randall and find out his real intentions. But with the track record of misleading the show, it is doubtful that the story will be that simple.
Season 5 of Only Murders in the Building begins with Episode 9, "LESTR." The episode is set to debut on Tuesday, October 21, 2025, at 12:00 AM ET / 9:00 PM PT. This episode is available for streaming on Hulu in the United States and Disney+ for international users. New episodes are released weekly on Tuesdays, with the season finale set for October 28, 2025.
Fans should expect heightened suspense and unexpected twists as the season comes to a close. For those who haven't caught up, the first three episodes premiered on September 9, 2025, with further episodes running weekly on Tuesdays.
The major characters' emotional relationships will also be tested in Episode 9. When both are on the brink of the truth, Mabel's justice frenzy, Oliver's crazy dream, and Charles' uncertainty can collide. The betrayals that have been covered up could come to light, the situation could become heated, and trust could be broken.
Aesthetically and color-wise, LESTR is already becoming a high-stakes, high-tension, penultimate episode, one that would strike the right balance between the wit of the series and emotional seriousness. The walls pushing toward each other also make the Arconia a character again - concealing hints, haunts, and possibly even a final twist.
Cast of Only Murders in the Building Season 5
The fan-favorite trio of Steve Martin, who plays Charles-Haden Savage, Martin Short, who plays Oliver Putnam, and Selena Gomez, who plays Mabel Mora, also returns in season 5 to bring the hilarity and emotion to the rising madness.
