Here’s all you need to know: Disney Plus can certainly keep viewers on their toes when it comes to the release time of its biggest shows. Major series from franchises like Star Wars or Marvel might arrive in the early hours of the morning in the UK, since they are time for prime viewing spots in America. Fortunately, Only Murders in the Building is set to release in the US and UK on the same day. It will be released on Tuesdays including September 16. You can expect the episodes to begin streaming at 8am British time this week. Fans will be able to watch the start of the season from 3am ET/ 12am PT in America. Fans were treated to a triple helping of the show last week with the new season coming out of the gates with three episodes. It is back to regular service from now on however, with just one episode out this Tuesday (September 16). The rest of the season will be released weekly with the finale scheduled for October 28. Expect a new episode every Tuesday until then. The show’s fifth season will have 10 episodes in total, matching the length of all the previous series. It will bring the show’s total episode count to 50, once it has finished airing. For its fifth season, the Disney Plus show has signed-up some really eye-catching names for roles. The major names you can expect to see in the latest set of episodes includes: Yes, you read that list right, the new season will include the likes of Renée Zellweger and Christopher Waltz.

She also has two Academy Awards, including winning best actress for 2019’s Judy. Christopher Waltz won multiple accolades for his roles in Quentin Tarantino’s movies.

She also won an Emmy for her turn in HBO’s TV series In Treatment. Keegan-Michael Key is best known for his comedic partnership with Jordan Peele – particularly their show Key and Peele. He was also in the Netflix series Friends from College as well as Schmigadoon! on Apple TV. Beanie Feldstein is known for her roles in films like Bad Neighbors 2, Lady Bird, and Booksmart.
