Only Murders in the Building season 4 - What to expect from the plot?

Even though season 3 of Only Murders In The Building concluded with another murder in the building, there is plenty to be explored in the fourth season.

There are a few safe guesses as to where season 4 will begin, although the precise plot line has been kept under wraps. Sazz, played by Jane Lynch of Glee, visited Charles (Steve Martin), at his apartment in the closing moments of the third season finale to commemorate the triumph of the Broadway production Death Razzle Dazzle's opening night.

However, before she could settle in, a gunshot from the window rushed in and hit her in the chest. It is speculated that Charles might be the next victim of season 4's killer as Sazz seemed to scribble a message on the ground with her blood as the episode was coming to an end.

A major change to be seen in the fourth season will be a change in locale. Only Murders in the Building is set in the posh Upper West Side fictional building called Arconia, where the protagonists reside. However, Disney Television Group President, Craig Erwich, teased that they will shift to the sunny city of Los Angeles, California, in the fourth season.

In an exclusive interview with Deadline, he said:

"I’m very excited to see Steve, Martin, and Selena take a little break from the apartment building and come to Los Angeles. So in the same way that John Hoffman [showrunner] used the canvas of Broadway to tell what I think was one of the most unique seasons you’ve ever seen, the same unique Only Murders take will be applied to Los Angeles, which I’m really excited about."

The change in scenery has the potential for a major shift in style and storytelling, making the fourth season of the series a departure from its preceding seasons.
