Only Murders in the Building season 2 trailer starts a new mystery

Last year, Only Murders in the Building became a breakout hit on Hulu, thanks in large part to the core comedic trio at the heart of the series: Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez. Within the world of the show, Charles-Haden Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mabel Mora (Gomez) are all neighbors in the Arconia building, who struck up a friendship and started their own true-crime podcast to solve the murder of Mabel’s friend, Tim Kono. That mystery came to an end in the first season finale. However, Charles, Oliver, and Mabel have much bigger problems in the upcoming second season.

In the new trailer for season 2, the trio learns that they are all suspects in the murder of Bunny Folger, the now-deceased former president of the Arconia Board. And clearing their names won’t be easy now that everyone knows who they are.

If you have to watch one Hulu show this May, stream this one
A man in an office looks worried in Under the Banner of Heaven.

While it doesn't boast a subscriber count in the hundreds of millions like some of its competitors, Hulu remains one of the premier streaming services for quality television. The Handmaid's Tale became the first TV show from a streaming service to win the Emmy for Outstanding Drama Series. The Bear and Only Murders in the Building have also been critical darlings and audience favorites. While these three shows are excellent, you should add another show, Under the Banner of Heaven, to your watchlist in May.

Created by Oscar winner Dustin Lance Black, Under the Banner of Heaven stars Andrew Garfield as Jeb Pyre, a Utah detective tasked with investigating the murder of Brenda Wright Lafferty (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her baby daughter. The mysterious circumstances surrounding the murders may involve prominent members of the Mormon Church. The series is based on Jon Krakauer's 2003 nonfiction book.
