"The Building of Mortal Quarrels": a title alluding to a series in which individuals engage in debates and arguments, set within the context of a building.
The fifth season of the award-winning true-crime comedy "Only Murders in the Building" is set to premiere on Disney+ on September 9. The series, which focuses on peripheral figures to delve deep into their lives, promises to keep viewers on the edge of their seats with its latest instalment.
In the previous season, hints were dropped about the central role of Lester, the jovial, portly concierge of the "Arconia" complex, in the upcoming season. Tragically, Lester is found dead in the courtyard of the building, and his open casket reveals a severed finger. The finger is later found in one of Oliver's shrimp cocktails, potentially belonging to Lester.
The characters Charles, Oliver, and Mabel, who all had personal connections with Lester, attempt to find out the truth about his death. Their investigation leads to a disaster at the funeral, as the trio uncovers a web that involves billionaires. The series suggests a Mafia connection as central to the mystery surrounding Lester's death, with the mob connection that Lester pursued linked to the feared New York Mafia, specifically involving Sofia Caccimelio, the wife of a missing mobster.
The fifth season of "Only Murders in the Building" is not short on star power. Meryl Streep, RenΓ©e Zellweger, Christoph Waltz, and Dianne Wiest are among the prominent guest stars in the new season. The first three episodes will be available on September 9, with weekly new episodes following its return.
It is not yet clear whether the thick wads of cash Lester received had a direct connection to his death. However, it is known that Lester had aspirations beyond being a concierge, but instead followed in his predecessor's footsteps as a concierge and a mob associate.
Stay tuned for more twists and turns in the fifth season of "Only Murders in the Building," premiering on Disney+ on September 9.
