A couple tweaks to ABC‘s midseason schedule. The network will air season 1 of the Hulu Original comedy series Only Murders in the Building beginning in January following Celebrity Jeopardy, which is moving to Tuesday nights from its original Wednesday slot.
The first three episodes of Only Murders in the Building, starring Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, will premiere Tuesday, January 2 at 9 PM following a new semifinal episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! at 8 PM.
From co-creators and writers Martin and John Hoffman (Grace & Frankie, Looking), the first season of Only Murders in the Building follows three strangers (Martin, Short and Gomez) 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. As they record a podcast of their own to document the case, the three unravel the complex secrets of the building, which stretch back years. Perhaps even more explosive are the lies they tell one another. Soon, the endangered trio comes to realize a killer might be living amongst them as they race to decipher the mounting clues before it’s too late.
Recently renewed for a fourth season, Only Murders in the Building is the most-viewed Hulu Original comedy series ever, according to Hulu.
Martin and Hoffman executive produce along with Martin Short, Selena Gomez, Jamie Babbit, “This Is Us” creator Dan Fogelman and Jess Rosenthal. The series is produced by 20th Television, a part of Disney Television Studios.
