Plot Synopsis

Created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, ONLY MURDERS IN THE BUILDING is a comedic murder-mystery series that follows three strangers -- Mabel, Oliver & Charles -- who share an obsession with true crime and suddenly find themselves wrapped up in one. When a grisly death occurs inside their exclusive Upper West Side apartment building, the trio suspects murder and employs their precise knowledge of true crime to investigate the truth.
