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.

James Gunn teases Peacemaker season 2, Lanterns, and his next DC project
John Cena as Peacemaker with his helmet off in Peacemaker.

The new DC Universe (DCU) from James Gunn and Peter Safran will begin next month with the arrival of the animated TV series Creature Commandos. The DCU is nearly a complete reset from the DC Extended Universe (DCEU), the previously shared universe from 2013 to 2023. In an interview with IGN, Gunn clarified that everything seen or spoken about in Creature Commandos or any project released after that is canon in the DCU. However, there is one major exception.

Gunn said, “The truth is almost all of Peacemaker is canon with the exception of Justice League … which we will kind of deal with in the next season of Peacemaker." The scene in question happens at the end of Peacemaker season 1, when the Justice League, including Jason Momoa’s Aquaman and Ezra Miller’s Flash, are late arrivals to the fight against the Butterflies.

Watch Yellowstone season 5, episode 10: release date, time, channel, and plot
A cowboy stands and stares.

After an almost a two-year hiatus, the Dutton family finally returned to prime-time television with Yellowstone season 5, part 2. Even with the time off, Yellowstone remained a ratings juggernaut, as the premiere generated a whopping 16.4 million viewers across all cable networks and CBS airings. That's an increase of 3% from the season 5, part 1 premiere, which registered 15.9 million viewers.

The biggest question heading into the premiere was how series creator Taylor Sheridan would handle the departure of Kevin Costner as John Dutton. Sheridan wasted no time writing off the patriarch of the Dutton family. Even without John Dutton, his presence will still be felt this season, with the main storyline dealing with the aftermath of his tragic ending. Find out how to watch the next episode of Yellowstone below.
