Only Murders in the Building Ending Explained & What’s Next

The truth about Lester’s death is finally out— and it’s wilder than anyone guessed. From affairs to cover-ups to a killer mayor, here’s how Only Murders in the Building Season 5 ended.

SPOILERS AHEAD!

The mystery that’s been brewing all season finally unravels in Only Murders in the Building Season 5’s explosive finale, “The House Always Wins.” After a season packed with mobsters, billionaires, and severed fingers, the truth behind Lester’s murder reveals a conspiracy that reaches all the way to City Hall.

Keegan-Michael Key guest stars as Mayor Bo Tilman, whose affair with a mobster’s wife sets off a tragic chain reaction. When Lester discovers the cover-up, he becomes the final loose end in a deadly game of power and silence. Mabel, Charles, and Oliver’s final clue—an autocorrected text—cracks the case wide open in true Only Murders fashion.

But just when it seems like peace has returned to the Arconia, a shocking final twist drops: Cinda Canning is dead, and Season 6 is heading overseas to London. What secrets does The Girl with the Curls hide?
