Only Murders In The Building Season 2 Release Date Teased With A Puzzle
A cryptic social media post teases the upcoming release date for Only Murders in the Building season 2. Released on Hulu last year, Only Murders in the Building became an instant hit as it followed three true crime obsessed strangers who find themselves wrapped up in their very own murder-mystery. The series saw Steve Martin star as Charles-Haden Savage, Martin Short as Oliver Putnam and Selena Gomez as Mabel Mora, three of the residents at the Arconia, an exclusive Upper West Side apartment building that plays host to the grisly murder of a man named Tim Kono. The trio create their very own true crime podcast, which follows their pursuits in solving the mysterious case.
While the end of season 1 offered the shocking reveal that Charles' new girlfriend, Jan was responsible for Kono's murder, the final episode left audiences on a major cliffhanger which saw Charles, Oliver and Mabel all driven away in police cars after they were found standing over the lifeless body of the Arconia's building manager, Bunny. Many were therefore delighted when it was announced that Only Murders in the Building season 2 had been given the go-ahead, with production officially kicking off in December of last year. Details surrounding season 2 have, so far, been kept largely under wraps, with production currently still taking place in New York City.
Now, a rather cryptic social media post has left many wondering if Only Murders in the Building season 2 could be arriving sooner rather than later. Shared across its social media platforms, @OnlyMurdersHulu posted a mysterious image of the Arconia's elevator call buttons. Most curious however, is that the numbers 2, 6 and 8 have seemingly be pressed, while the other buttons remain unlit. The most common interpretation appears to be that the numbers could represent season 2's release date, with some speculating that the new series could arrive on June 28 or August 26.

Various castings have been announced for Only Murders in the Building season 2, including Cara Delevingne, Amy Schumer and Shirley MacLaine, with each set to have their own exciting role to play in the true-crime trio's latest misadventures. President of ABC, Craig Erwich recently revealed that he had read several scripts from the upcoming season, sharing that the show continues to boast the combination of dramatic depth and comedy that lead to the massive success of season 1. While it is not known when Only Murders in the Building will officially wrap on season 2, more details are likely to emerge as production enters its final stages.
While this new tease offers no definitive answers, it certainly gives fans a fun clue to work with, much like Charles, Oliver and Mabel would do with their investigations. It's likely that some form of confirmation will be arrive soon as to what these numbers represent, but given that Only Murders in the Building season 2 was initially expected to arrive some time in mid 2022, it's highly likely that an official release date announcement is imminent. If either of these speculated dates come to fruition, there certainly would not be long to wait until audiences are back at the Arconia.
