Who Will Die At The End Of Only Murders Season 4?
The Trend Will Likely Continue.
The current season ofOnly Murders in the Buildingsees Charles, Oliver, and Mabelattempt to figure outwho killed Charles' friend and stunt double Sazz Pataki(Jane Lynch). This quest is complicated due to Charles' friendship with Sazz and the very real possibility that Charles was the sniper’s real target. Although that’s enough of a story on its own, there’s also the fact that the trio’s podcast is being made into a movie.
The finale ofOnly Murders in the Buildingseason 4 will premiere on October 29.

This storyline allowsOnly Murdersto welcome some big guests, including Eva Longoria, Eugene Levy, and Zach Galifianakis. They respectively play fictionalized versions of Mabel, Charles, and Oliver. But it would be daring, and likely a huge headline, if the Hulu show killed off the fictionalized version of Longoria and brought in some of herDesperate Housewivesco-stars for season 5. Alternatively,the series could lean more into its Hollywood settingand kill off the big-time studio executive Bev Melon (played by Molly Shannon).
