How to Watch Only Murders in the Building on Firestick (Every Option in 2026)
Complete guide to watching Only Murders in the Building on Firestick. All 5 seasons on Hulu, pricing compared, free trial options, and how to stream from anywhere with a VPN. Season 6 confirmed for 2026.
I just finished rewatching all five seasons of Only Murders in the Building on my Firestick 4K Max — 50 episodes of Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez solving murders in a fancy Upper West Side apartment building. With Season 6 confirmed and heading to London later this year, now’s the perfect time to catch up or rewatch. Finding the best way to watch Only Murders in the Building on Firestick was straightforward — Hulu is the clear answer — but there are bundle deals, a free trial, and international options worth knowing before you subscribe.
Hulu is the only place to stream all 5 seasons of Only Murders in the Building on Firestick in the US. Plans start at $11.99/month with ads, or grab the Disney+ & Hulu bundle at $12.99/month for the best value. New subscribers can get a 30-day free trial — enough time to binge the entire series. Outside the US, the show is on Disney+. Need a VPN? Surfshark works reliably with both Hulu and Disney+.
What I Tested For
- Streaming quality — 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and HDR on Firestick 4K Max
- Audio quality — Dolby Atmos surround sound on the No Ads plan
- App stability — Hulu performance across 50 episodes with zero crashes
- Subtitle and closed caption options — English, Spanish, multiple timing modes
- Cost per season — Which plan and bundle gives you the best value
Where to Watch Only Murders in the Building
Only Murders in the Building is a Hulu Original — which means Hulu is the exclusive streaming home in the United States. All 50 episodes across five seasons are available right now. Outside the US, the show streams on Disney+ (under the Star hub in some regions).
You can also buy individual episodes or full seasons on Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV, and Fandango at Home (Vudu) — but at roughly $20–$30 per season across five seasons, you’d spend over $100. A couple months of Hulu gives you the entire series plus thousands of other titles for a fraction of that.
| Service | Price | Seasons | Quality | Ads | Free Trial |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 🏆 Hulu (No Ads) | $18.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | No | 30-day trial |
| Best Value Hulu (With Ads) | $11.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | Yes | 30-day trial |
| Best Bundle Disney+ & Hulu Bundle | $12.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | Yes | No |
| Disney+ (International) | $11.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | Yes (basic) | Check offers |
| Hulu + Live TV | $89.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | Yes | 3-day trial |
| Students Only Hulu Student Plan | $1.99/mo | Seasons 1–5 | 4K Dolby Vision | Yes | No |
| Amazon (Purchase) | $1.99–$2.99/ep | Seasons 1–5 | HD | No | N/A |
| Apple TV (Purchase) | $1.99–$2.99/ep | Seasons 1–5 | HD | No | N/A |
Bottom line: Hulu is the only streaming service with all 5 seasons of Only Murders in the Building. The Disney+ & Hulu bundle at $12.99/month is the best deal — you get both services for just a dollar more than Hulu alone. Students can grab Hulu for just $1.99/month, which is an absolute steal.
Best Way to Watch Only Murders in the Building on Firestick
Hulu
- All 50 episodes across 5 seasons — the exclusive US streaming home
- 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on No Ads plan
- Native Fire TV app — install directly from Amazon App Store
- 30-day free trial for new subscribers
✓ Pros
- All 5 seasons with 4K Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos
- Native Fire TV app with easy setup from Amazon App Store
- 30-day free trial — enough to binge the entire series
- Disney+ & Hulu bundle at $12.99/mo saves money if you use both
- Student plan at $1.99/month is the cheapest way to watch
✕ Cons
- With Ads plan has ad breaks during episodes
- Hulu is US-only — requires VPN from abroad
- 4K/HDR requires the No Ads plan and compatible Firestick
- No Hulu free trial if you've been a subscriber in the past month
My testing notes: I streamed all 50 episodes on my Firestick 4K Max across about 10 days. The Hulu app was rock-solid the entire time — zero crashes, zero freezes, even during late-night multi-episode binges. Picture quality was stunning in 4K Dolby Vision — the moody hallway scenes in the Arconia look incredible with HDR enabled. Audio came through in Dolby Atmos on the No Ads plan, and you can actually hear the difference in scenes where Charles, Oliver, and Mabel are recording their podcast. On the With Ads plan, I counted about 2–3 ad breaks per episode at roughly 60–90 seconds each. For a show with episodes running 28–35 minutes, the No Ads plan is worth it if you’re doing a serious binge.

Season-by-Season Guide
Here’s your roadmap through one of the most rewatchable mystery comedies on TV:
| Season | Episodes | Premiere | What to Expect |
|---|---|---|---|
| Season 1 | 10 episodes | Aug 2021 | Three true-crime obsessed strangers — Charles (Steve Martin), Oliver (Martin Short), and Mabel (Selena Gomez) — investigate a death in their building. The premise is brilliant and the chemistry is instant |
| Season 2 | 10 episodes | Jun 2022 | The trio becomes suspects themselves. The meta-humor of a podcast-within-a-show gets sharper. Cara Delevingne and Shirley MacLaine join the cast |
| Season 3 | 10 episodes | Aug 2023 | The investigation moves to Broadway. Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep guest star — and Streep is genuinely fantastic |
| Season 4 | 10 episodes | Aug 2024 | The case hits Hollywood. Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria play the trio in a movie adaptation within the show |
| Season 5 | 10 episodes | Sep 2025 | The latest completed season. All 10 episodes available now on Hulu |
| Season 6 | 10 episodes (confirmed) | Late 2026 (estimated) | The final season. Set in London — the first time the show leaves New York. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez all returning. Filming expected to begin around March 2026 |
Total watch time for all 5 seasons: About 25 hours across 50 episodes at roughly 28–35 minutes each. You could binge the entire series in a long weekend.

Budget Strategies
- Hulu 30-Day Free Trial — If you haven’t had an active Hulu subscription in the past month, you can get a full 30-day free trial. At roughly 5 episodes per day, that’s enough to binge all 50 episodes in 10 days — with 20 days to spare.
- Hulu Student Plan ($1.99/mo) — If you have a valid student email, this is the cheapest way to watch. All seasons, with ads.
- Hulu With Ads ($11.99/mo) — All seasons in 4K Dolby Vision. Ad breaks are short — about 60–90 seconds, 2–3 times per episode.
- Disney+ & Hulu Bundle ($12.99/mo) — Get Hulu and Disney+ together for just a dollar more than Hulu alone with ads. Best deal.
- Hulu Annual ($119.99/year) — Same as Hulu With Ads but saves about $24 per year vs. monthly billing.
Digital Purchase (Own Forever)
If you’d rather own the show outright:
- Amazon Prime Video — Buy individual episodes (~$1.99–$2.99) or full seasons
- Apple TV / iTunes — Similar per-episode pricing
- Fandango at Home (Vudu) — Buy individual episodes or full seasons
At roughly $20–$30 per season across five seasons, you’d spend $100–$150. The 30-day Hulu free trial gives you the entire series for nothing.

Watch Only Murders in the Building From Anywhere
Hulu is US-only, so if you’re traveling or live outside the States, you’ll need a VPN to access it. The show is available on Disney+ in the UK, Canada, Australia, and most international markets — but if you specifically want the Hulu experience or you’re in a country without Disney+, a VPN connected to the US is the way to go.
International Availability
| Country/Region | Service | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| United States | Hulu | Exclusive US streaming home — all 5 seasons |
| United Kingdom | Disney+ | All seasons available |
| Canada | Disney+ | All seasons available |
| Australia | Disney+ | All seasons available |
| New Zealand | Disney+ | All seasons available |
| Most of Europe | Disney+ (Star hub) | All seasons available |
| Other regions | Varies | May require VPN |
If you’re a US subscriber traveling abroad and want to keep watching on Hulu, or you’re in a country where neither Hulu nor Disney+ is available, a VPN is the simplest solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Only Murders in the Building free on any streaming service?
Not for free, no — it’s not available on Tubi, Pluto TV, or any ad-supported free platform. However, Hulu offers a 30-day free trial for new subscribers who haven’t had an active subscription in the past month. That’s more than enough time to binge all 50 episodes. Students can get Hulu for just $1.99/month with a valid .edu email.
Which service has all seasons of Only Murders in the Building?
Hulu in the US has all 5 seasons (50 episodes). Internationally, Disney+ carries the show in the UK, Canada, Australia, and most other markets. In the US, it’s exclusively on Hulu — no other subscription streaming service has it.
Can I watch Only Murders in the Building in 4K on Firestick?
Yes — the show streams in 4K Ultra HD with Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos on Hulu. You’ll need the Hulu No Ads plan ($18.99/mo), a Firestick 4K or 4K Max, a 4K TV with HDR support, and at least 16–25 Mbps download speed. The show was shot on a Sony Venice camera and mastered in Dolby Vision, so it looks excellent in 4K.
Is Only Murders in the Building getting a new season?
Yes — Season 6 has been confirmed as the final season. It was officially announced in January 2026 and will be set in London for the first time. Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez are all returning. Filming is expected to begin around March 2026, with an estimated premiere in late summer or early fall 2026 on Hulu.
What’s happening with Hulu and Disney+?
Disney is merging Hulu into Disney+ by late 2026. The standalone Hulu app is being phased out (it already shut down on Nintendo Switch in February 2026). All Hulu Originals, including Only Murders in the Building, will remain accessible through the unified Disney+ app. Hulu subscriptions will still be available as a tier within Disney+.
