《 Nothing But Murder in the Building 》 Season 6 filming begins: trio take case to London

　　The sixth season of the suspense comedy《there are only murders in the building》has begun filming. This time the story will leave the familiar New York apartment and change the investigation map to London.Selena Gomez, Steve Martin and Martin Short continue to form the core trio, Meryl Streep returns to star, and Olivia Colman becomes an important new addition.The simultaneous changes in location and new faces give the long-running series a significant turn.

The series originally started with the common interests of three strangers.Charles, Oliver and Mabel are all addicted to true crime shows and live in the same New York apartment but are unfamiliar with each other.When a neighbor dies under mysterious circumstances, they decide to investigate it themselves and make a podcast out of it.Fans are suddenly immersed in a real case, where detective passion, personal prejudices and life dilemmas are squeezed together to form the unique suspense comedy rhythm of the series.

Arconia Apartments has long assumed the role of the fourth protagonist.Residents spy on each other, and there may be clues hidden in corridors, elevators, secret passages and rooms.After each season's case, the scope of the investigation seems to continue to expand, and the characters will eventually return to the building to reorganize the relationship between the neighbors.Season 6 moves the stage to London, which means the trio need to establish a new way of observation in an unfamiliar city.

London has a very different neighborhood structure, architectural age, and social habits than New York.When the three of them act as tourists or outside investigators, it is difficult for the familiar connections in the apartment to be put to use directly.They will have to navigate new language nuances, social etiquette and city routes, and will encounter a different policing and media environment.The change of location both serves the case and creates comedy about the characters' maladaptation.

The addition of Olivia Coleman adds the most striking unknown to the new season.The character information has not yet been announced. She may enter the core of the case, or she may become a figure who guides the three to get familiar with London.Coleman's ability to move freely between restraint, absurdity and emotional outbursts is in perfect harmony with the sudden heaviness beneath the show's lighthearted surface.Her scenes opposite the three leading actors will become an important highlight of the sixth season.

Mabel, played by Selena Gomez, brings young perspective and keen judgment to the combination, Charles, played by Steve Martin, is accustomed to using his experience as an actor to understand others, and Oliver, played by Martin Short, may turn reality into a stage at any time.The three people's ages, expressions and life backgrounds are very different. They often drag each other down during the investigation process, and they can always make up for each other's missed parts at critical moments.

Meryl Streep continues to return, indicating that Loretta and Oliver's relationship will move forward.As her character enters the series, the line between romance and drama gradually intensifies, giving Oliver more concrete concerns outside of the case.After the story comes to London, how this relationship will integrate into the new environment is still an emotional line that needs to be responded to in the sixth season.

Season five aired last year, with Meryl Streep returning and Renée Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, Keegan-Michael Key and Logan Lerman among others joining the cast.The series introduces a cast of well-known actors each season, with new characters coming together to form the roster of suspects.The star cast brings attention and increases the difficulty of guessing the murder, because any character who appears to appear briefly may have a key motive.

Previous seasons have also featured actors such as Paul Rudd, Jesse Williams and Ashley Park.Guest roles are often closely tied to the theme of the season, both advancing the case and making show business, celebrity culture and urban life the object of ridicule.After Season 6 arrives in London, British theater traditions, television production environments or upper-class social spaces all have the opportunity to enter this humor system.

《Only Murder in the Building 》 is created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman, with -- This Is Us creator Dan Fogelman also producing.The first season will premiere on Hulu on August 31, 2021, with a total of 10 episodes.The series has received continued praise for its relaxed treatment of the crime genre and the tacit understanding between the three leads, and has become one of Hulu's most outstanding original comedies.

As it reaches its sixth season, the challenge the series faces comes from its long-term model.Discovering bodies, recording podcasts, locating suspects and uncovering the truth has established a familiar beat to viewers.The London chapter allows the investigation space to be rearranged, allowing the three to temporarily lose the sense of security provided by Arconia.As long as the characters' relationships remain stable, scene changes provide a sense of freshness and test whether the set still holds true after leaving New York.

Season 6 has already begun filming, with specific cases, Olivia Colman's role and more new cast members still to be revealed.As three amateur sleuths travel from one apartment to another, new mysteries will be recorded on the podcast's microphone.What kind of deaths will occur on the streets of London, and how they will turn an overseas trip into an investigation scene, have become the first set of suspense left in the new season.
