Only Murders in the Building Writers Room Moves to New York for Season 7

The writers room for Hulu's comedy series Only Murders In the Building is relocating from Los Angeles to New York for a likely seventh season, following the show's London-based sixth season. The move aims to streamline production and maintain the series' yearly release cadence. The show has not been officially renewed, but a new season is expected given its strong performance and five recent Emmy nominations. The writing team is not yet set, though some writers are expected to stay on for an in-person room led by showrunner John Hoffman. The relocation will allow writing and filming to overlap, as the London shoot's complex logistics prevented the previous sequential workflow. This decision comes as the series aims to shorten gaps between seasons, with Season 6 slated for a Dec. 8 release. The 15-month gap between Seasons 5 and 6 was the longest in the show's run, and the new approach is intended to prepare Season 7 for a 2027 or early 2028 debut.
