After catching the killer, the trio was arrested for a different murder with Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) finding Mabel (Selena Gomez) in her apartment, covered in blood, kneeling over the body of one of their neighbors, Bunny, who had been stabbed with one of Mabel’s own knitting needles.
The finale ended with Charles, Oliver, and Mabel arrested and walked out of the building with their neighbors and high-profile true crime podcaster, Cinda Canning (Tina Fey), watching. Only Murders In The Building has set up an exciting new mystery for the second season with even more pressure on the amateur detectives as they likely need to find a way to clear their names by solving the case and discovering the identity of the actual killer.
