Created and written by Martin and John Hoffman, with the duo also serving as executive producers alongside Short and Gomez, the series has been entertaining viewers since 2021 and has gone on to win close to 50 awards. 

In a recent interview online, Gomez stated, “I’m going to give the writers full credit, because they shock me. I’m a realist, so of course, in my mind, I think, ‘How many people could possibly be at our building and this happens?’

“And every time they lay out the storyline for me, they point out key arcs that each of our characters are going to go through.

“I’ve noticed that with my character, they’ve really allowed her to grow. She, I think, felt a bit more lost, and this season in particular, she’s very much in control of herself and the situation. So, it makes me feel very proud to grow with the show.”

She added: “I ask Steve and Marty for advice on certain lines, and ‘Could I make it funnier this way?’ It’s a big family and I’m just happy we’re still here.”

Season five of “Only Murders in the Building” will air on September 9 on Disney+.
