The season 5 premiere, debuting with three episodes on September 9, 2025, begins with the suspected murder of the beloved doorman, Lester (Teddy Coluca). The investigation by the trio leads them to New York's underground mob families and unknown billionaires, where the humor remains sharp yet softens around the edges of chilling discoveries.

Global release schedule for Only Murders in the Building season 5 episode 5

Only Murders in the Building season 5, episode 5 will release on September 23, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time (PT) on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ for global audience.

What to expect in episode 5 of Only Murders in the Building season 5

The initial four instalments of season 5 immerse Charles, Oliver, and Mabel into a strata of secrets post-Lester's demise in Arconia's fountain. Initially thought to be an accident, the trio's podcasting instincts kicked in, uncovering ties to the Caputo crime family and the mysterious disappearance of Nicky Caccimelio. In Episode 4, titled "Dirty Birds," the trio had also embarked on spying on a movie set, which encompassed everything from screwball comedy to dangerous sleuthing.

Expect "Tongue Tied" to elaborate on the mobster angle, especially as co-creator John Hoffman put it, it takes on a "ripped-from-the-headlines" vibe to explore New York's evolving identity. Fans are speculating whether Mabel's millennial wit can crack a lead or if Oliver's theatrics outsmart the shadowy billionaire. The episode, without a doubt, will feature even more banter, more enormous red herrings, and maybe even a surprise that connects Lester's fate, as unexpected as that may be, to the residents of the Arconia. Fans can also hear about the juicy behind-the-scenes reveals that are dropped with every episode on the Only Murders in the Building podcast, as well. 

Only Murders in the Building season 5 is available on Hulu in the U.S./Disney+. It will continue to drop every Tuesday until the end of the season, which concludes on October 28, 2025.
