The mystery of who killed Sazz is in full swing, as Only Murders in the Building season 4 is here. That's right, the critically-acclaimed comedy/mystery series starring Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short is back with another season, much to the delight of its fans.

Hulu did not wait long to make the news official, announcing that Only Murders in the Building season 4 was officially renewed just hours after the season 3 finale. As the tweet sharing the news says, "let the investigation begin."

While we have to wait to find out who is going to be the next killer, we can help solve the mystery of when Only Murders in the Building season 4 is coming, who's in it and more right here.

The Only Murders in the Building season 4 finale is now available to stream.

Only Murders in the Building season 4 plot

The Only Murders in the Building season 3 ending gave us the central mystery that the podcast trio is going to be investigating: who killed Sazz (Jane Lynch), Charles' long-time stunt double.

Here is the official synopsis for Only Murders in the Building season 4:

"In season four of Only Murders in the Building, Charles, Oliver and Mabel wrestle with the shocking events at the end of season three surrounding Charles' stunt double and friend Sazz Pataki. Questioning whether Sazz or Charles was the intended victim, our trio's investigation leads them all the way to Los Angeles where a Hollywood studio is readying a film about the Only Murders podcast. As our amateur sleuths race back to New York, they embark on an even more epic journey — traversing their building's courtyard to delve into the twisted lives of the Arconia's West Tower residents."

It can't be Only Murders in the Building without Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short, as the trio of actors have proven to be a great on-screen team. A critically-acclaimed one too, as all three have earned Emmy nominations for their performances (Short three times, Martin twice and Gomez once).

Other familiar faces are also set to return, including Meryl Streep, who played Loretta Durkin in season 3, at least for a guest spot, and Jane Lynch, will pop up in flashbacks as Sazz.

Meanwhile, long-time fan favorites Detective Williams, played by Oscar-winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and Howard (Michael Cyril Creighton) are definitely coming back. It's unclear if we're going to see other Arconia residents like Uma (Jackie Hoffman) and Jonathan (Jason Veasey), as well as Ryan Broussard as Oliver's son Will, as they haven't been officially confirmed.

New cast members set to appear in Only Murders in the Building season 4 include Eva Longoria, Molly Shannon, Eugene Levy and Kumail Nanjiani, Zack Galifianakis, Richard Kind and Melissa McCarthy as guest stars. Some new series regulars include Desmin Borges (You're The Worst), Siena Werber (Brand New Cherry Flavor), Lilian Rebelo (Our Dear Drug Lord), Daphne Rubin-Vega (In the Heights), Catherine Cohen (The Lovebirds) and Jin Ha (Pachinko).

It was recently confirmed that one season 3 cast member will not be back: Jesse Williams confirmed he is not on the show this season. As for other familiar faces, we haven't heard if Andrea Martin's Joy, Charles' jilted former fiance, is returning, or anything about Amy Ryan as Jan, who was referenced to still having a relationship with Sazz in season 3.
