Murders & Power: Season 2

After solving the death of Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd) on season 3, Only Murders in the Building’s fourth installment turns the focus to Hollywood, where Oliver (Martin Short), Charles (Steve Martin), and Mabel’s (Selena Gomez) podcast is being made into a movie…while the trio try to figure out who killed Charles’ stunt double, Sazz (Jane Lynch).

Plus, The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power is back for a new season, introducing hobbit-esque characters, stoors, as well as turning some of the story’s focus to the villains and prepping the action for an “epic battle.”

As some shows begin, others have their finales, including The Serpent Queen and Hotel Portofino, as well as the reality competitions Alone and Claim to Fame.
