Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season 5 at Hulu. The fifth season will consist of 10 episodes. Steve Martin, Selena Gomez, and Martin Short announced the news in a video posted to the show’s official Instagram.

“We are so happy to be coming back for season 5 of Only Murders in the Building,” Martin said in the announcement.

The season 5 renewal comes a week after the season 4 premiere. In the fourth season, Charles-Haden Savage (Martin), Oliver Putnam (Short), and Mabel Mora (Gomez) head to Hollywood to oversee the film adaptation of their podcast. The trio are confronted by the actors who will play them in the film, including Eugene Levy as Charles, Zach Galifianakis as Oliver, and Eva Longoria as Mabel.

The Hollywood trip is a necessary distraction from the death of Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch) in the season 3 finale. The trio determines that Charles, not Sazz, might have been the target.

Season 4’s returning cast includes Da’Vine Joy Randolph as Donna Williams, Meryl Streep as Loretta Durkin, and Michael Cyril Creighton as Howard Morris. Like previous installments, Only Murders in the Building season 4 recruited a noteworthy list of guest stars, including Molly Shannon, Richard Kind, Kumail Nanjiani, and Melissa McCarthy.

Since debuting in August 2021, Only Murders in the Building has been nominated for 49 Emmy Award nominations, including Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Lead Actress for Gomez, and Outstanding Lead Actor for Martin and Short.

Two episodes in season 4 have already premiered on Hulu. New episodes drop weekly on Tuesdays, with the finale airing on October 8, 2024.

YouTube is reworking the Home page with Custom Feeds and quicker access to Subscriptions

YouTube is changing how its Home page works, giving viewers more control over what shows up there and making some of the app’s most-used sections easier to reach. Custom Feeds are now replacing the existing topic chips for eligible users, while YouTube is also testing a redesigned top bar on mobile that moves Subscriptions closer to the Home feed.

YouTube first started experimenting with Custom Feeds earlier this year, letting you type out what you wanted to watch and turning that request into its own stream of recommendations. Now, the feature is starting to look less like a side experiment and more like something YouTube actually wants people to use as part of their everyday Home page.

EXCLUSIVE: How Klara and the Sun warns of a future where humans compete with AI
What Does Klara and the Sun Say About the Dangers of AI?
Jenna Ortega stars in Klara and the Sun.

Artificial intelligence has already changed people's lives, both at home and at work, but what happens when people start treating AI as a replacement for their loved ones? Filmmaker Taika Waititi explores this terrifying idea with his new sci-fi movie, Klara and the Sun. Based on the novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, the film follows Klara, a solar-powered "Artificial Friend" played by Jenna Ortega, as she bonds with Josie, a sick teenager.

Klara and the Sun paints an unusual, unsettling portrait of a world with AI. Essentially The Wizard of Oz meets Blade Runner, Waititi's dystopian film is filled with his brand of vibrant visuals and quirky humor. But beneath all that, the film tells a deeper, more serious story about AI and whether it can cause the downfall of society and human connection.

Spotify has kicked 50 million AI slop tracks out of your recommendations
Spotify is cleaning up your music recommendations, and AI-generated spam is finally getting the boot.

Finding new music on Spotify is one of those little joys that can turn an ordinary day around. You play a song you love, let the recommendations take over, and occasionally stumble upon an artist you wish you’d discovered sooner. But with AI making it ridiculously easy to produce music in bulk, not everything landing in your recommendations deserves a listen.

Spotify knows this is becoming a problem, and it’s acting on it. The streaming giant has revealed it filtered more than 50 million spammy, low-quality tracks from its recommendations this year. That’s on top of another 75 million tracks it has completely removed from the platform for repeatedly or seriously breaking its rules. And Spotify isn’t stopping there — it wants to make sure actual artists aren’t buried under an endless stream of AI-generated content.
