Fans of Only Murders In The Building are in for a wild ride! Season 4 has dropped a bombshell that completely changes everything we thought we knew.

The Shocking Reveal

In episode 7, the trio – Mabel, Charles, and Oliver – are hiding out on Long Island while filming their movie adaptation of their podcast. They discover a connection between the "I'M WATCHING YOU" text messages and a similar note found on Jan Bellows' door in season 1. This seemingly insignificant detail opens up a massive can of worms, and completely reshapes how we view their prior adventures. The seemingly innocent act suggests that this is a major shift. These well-loved podcasters aren't just investigators but now might be targets themselves!

Were They Always Targets?

The show has previously hinted at their current killer having been active for quite a long time! Now we know they may have been involved far beyond what's imagined!

  • Season 1: Oliver's dog Winnie was poisoned - an act that's strongly suggested to not have been part of Jan's scheme.
  • Season 4: Charles's stunt double Sazz Pataki is murdered, indicating he may have actually been the intended target!

This means that the trio may have always been under threat but could not be able to truly notice this potential attack.
