The stars of Only Murders in the Building season 2 have united to announce the release date of the highly anticipated second season of the Hulu series. The murder mystery comedy series, which was created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, premiered on Hulu last year. The show follows three misfits who live in an old New York apartment building called the Arconia, played by Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short. They are an unlikely trio, but they are brought together when they decide to create a true-crime podcast as they attempt to solve the murder of Tim Kono, a man from their building who - as it turns out - was hiding many secrets.

Only Murders in the Building season 2 was renewed all the way back in September 2021. The season will follow up on the show's climactic final twist, which sees Gomez's character Mabel seemingly implicated in the murder of one of the season's major characters. Season 2 will also be adding Cara Delevingne to the main cast along with Michael Rapaport as a new detective on the scene. The guest stars for Only Murders in the Building season 2 will also include Amy Schumer and Oscar winner Shirley MacLaine.

On their official Twitter account, Only Murders in the Building shared a cute video revealing the official release date for season 2. The video is mostly composed of bloopers of Gomez, Martin, and Short in an elevator trying and failing to get through their planned announcement. They never manage to actually say the date out loud, though their sparkling chemistry continues to work wonders. Eventually they are cut off by a title card which reveals that the show will be returning on June 28, 2022. Check out the video below:

This release date reveal confirms a theory based on a cryptic Twitter post from the Only Murders in the Building account yesterday. All they shared was an image of a panel of elevator buttons with the "8," "6," and "2" buttons lit up. While those numbers also led fans to speculate the show might be returning on August 26, those who were attempting to decode the puzzle can breath a sigh of relief that the earlier potential date is the real one.

Only Murders in the Building became a hit off the back of its ability to harness effortlessly funny characters with an engrossing murder mystery. It will be extremely difficult for the team to catch lightning in a bottle a second time, but with the major cast and crew returning for round 2, it seems entirely possible that they might make it happen. If there's one thing this video proves, it's that the core dynamic that the show thrived on is still very much intact, which can only be good news for Only Murders in the Building season 2 as a whole.
