'Only Murders In The Building' Relocating Writers Room To NYC For Likely Season 7

The Arconia’s favorite crime-solving trio is bringing their behind-the-scenes operation back to where it all began. Hulu’s hit mystery-comedy series *Only Murders in the Building* is officially packing up its writers room and making a major cross-country move from Los Angeles to New York City. For its first six seasons, the show's creative team plotted out every twist, murder, and hilarious podcast episode from a West Coast base. Now, according to industry reports, the writing staff will be permanently rooted in Manhattan as work begins on a likely seventh season. ## Is Only Murders In The Building renewed for Season 7? While the streaming platform has yet to release an official public renewal announcement, this bicoastal migration signals massive confidence in the franchise's ongoing future. Relocating a major television series' creative hub is no small feat, strongly implying that plans for a seventh chapter are already well underway. The behind-the-scenes shake-up comes on the heels of major developments for the upcoming sixth season. Viewers are already gearing up to watch the core cast—played by comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short alongside pop icon Selena Gomez—jet off to London for an international case in the upcoming sixth installment. ## Where is Only Murders In The Building filmed? Even though the show has always captured its lush, distinctive visuals on location around New York City, the actual writing process remained tied to California for years. The series prominently features famous Manhattan locations, most notably the real-life Belnord building on the Upper West Side, which serves as the exterior for the fictional Arconia. Bringing the writing room directly into the heart of New York aligns the storytellers with the exact city their characters navigate. It allows the writers to draw direct inspiration from the local theater scene, chaotic city energy, and distinct Manhattan culture that has defined the series since its debut. With Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez continuing to anchor the fan-favorite comedy, relocating the writers room ensures the show's signature Manhattan magic stays fresh for seasons to come.
