Only Murders in the Building season 1

The first season of the American mystery comedy-drama television series Only Murders in the Building, often abbreviated as OMITB, premiered on August 31, 2021, on Hulu. The series follows a trio of strangers (played by Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez), all with a shared interest in true crime podcasts, who become friends while investigating murders in their apartment building, and producing their own podcast about the cases. The season also stars Aaron Dominguez and Amy Ryan.

In January 2020, Hulu greenlit Only Murders in the Building for a straight-to-series order. Filming for the season began in December 2020, and wrapped in April 2021. The season consists of ten episodes, and had a three-episode premiere on August 31, 2021. The season became the most-watched comedy premiere in Hulu's history.

The season received critical acclaim. It received 17 nominations at the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards, with three wins. It also received the Seal of Authentic Representation from the Ruderman Family Foundation and The ReFrame Stamp for hiring people of underrepresented gender identities, and of color.
