Selena Gomez has begun filming season six of Only Murders in the Building as the Disney+ comedy series moves from New York to London.
Streaming platform Disney+ has confirmed that the sixth season of the acclaimed true crime comedy will premiere on December 8.
The new season marks the first time the show has moved its central mystery out of New York City and into the United Kingdom.
The storyline picks up directly from the finale of season five, in which famous podcaster Cinda Canning, played by Tina Fey, arrives at the trio's doorstep to request their urgent help.
Canning urges podcast hosts Charles, Oliver, and Mabel to travel to London immediately to identify her killer before it is too late.
London Setting And Cast Additions
Set against the backdrop of the British capital during the Christmas season, the new mystery features eccentric suspects in the style of classic crime writer Agatha Christie.
Alongside Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, the sixth season features a guest cast including Olivia Colman, Meryl Streep, David Tennant, Nicola Coughlan, and Martin Freeman.
The British setting also introduces new plot lines for the core characters. Main character Charles discovers a British reboot of his old television show Brazzos and encounters his own UK alter ego.
