What Can Fans Expect in Season 4 of Only Murders in The Building?

Season 3’s finale saw Jane Lynch’s character, Sazz Pataki get shot and Season 4 will see Charles (Martin), Oliver (Short), and Mabel (Gomez) “searching for answers about who killed Sazz, if they were actually aiming for Charles, and why anyone would want to kill either of them.”

Series co-creator James Hoffman previously spoke about the shocking murder of Lynch’s Sazz.

“That’s one of the reasons why we did it. We hadn’t done a beloved [murder victim] before,” Hoffman said. “It’s always hugely helpful to have a personal connection. It drives you, it creates a lot of feelings, and it ties the trio [in our mystery] in ways that feel completely different. But we also hadn’t done the thing where — I don’t want to say too much — but there were certain things we hadn’t done yet within this setup, and that excited me. It ticked the boxes of the personal, the sad, and of someone surprising, and the audience will feel something. Perhaps they’ll hate us!”

“I was a little assured when I proposed this idea to Jane Lynch and she lit up,” he continued. “She was like, ‘I love it,’ because she knows the show, and she knows we spend a lot of time with our victims, and I can’t wait to do that [with Sazz]. The character that Jane created is so genius. I want to see and learn more about what her life was like, and what was going on in her life as our trio investigate, but I can’t say too much more than that.”
