What can we expect from Only Murders in the Building season 4?

The season 3 finale sets up the next plotline as they run out of alcohol at the opening night celebration of Oliver's musical. Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch), who portrays Charles's body double, stops by Charles's residence to retrieve an additional bottle of wine.

However, she appears to have been murdered through the window upon her arrival (a gunshot wound is visible through the glass in a close-up). Sazz is fatally wounded when he collapses to the ground in Charles' kitchen. In Only Murders in the Building season 4, the group will undoubtedly have to determine who murdered Sazz and why and whether Charles was the intended victim.

Additionally, there is potential for improvement in the characters' personal affairs. For professional reasons, Tobert and Loretta, Mabel and Oliver's romantic partners, relocate to Los Angeles. This explores the possibility of the characters embarking on a long-distance relationship.

While the tenures of the partners on Only Murders in the Building are brief, it is not impossible for these two individuals (along with Charles' ex-fiancée Joy) to resurface in Only Murders in the Building season 4.
