Only Murders in the Building

Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez play three strangers whose mutual obsession with true crime stories takes a sinister turn when they find themselves caught up in a murder mystery originating in their Upper West Side apartment building. As the trio attempt to chronicle — and solve — the murder, it doesn’t take long before they begin to suspect the killer is closer than they expected.
