### Audience viewership

[edit]

On September 3, 2021, it was reported that Only Murders in the Building set a record for the most-watched comedy premiere in Hulu's history.[82] On October 28, 2021, Hulu Originals president Craig Erwich said in an interview with Vulture that the show had become the most-watched comedy ever on Hulu "by a good measure." In the same article, Vulture reported that, according to Parrot Analytics, the show went from having around 16 times the audience demand in the U.S. as an average show when it debuted on August 31 to generating 37 times typical demand by the time the season 1 finale dropped on October 19. This meant that the day after the finale, the show ranked as high as 14th on the list of most in-demand shows in the U.S. and signaled a "massive" 135% growth rate that according to Erwich is mainly attributable to word of mouth.[83] According to the streaming aggregator JustWatch, Only Murders in the Building was the most-streamed TV series across all U.S. platforms during the week ending October 24, 2021,[84] and second during the week ending October 31, 2021.[85]

According to Parrot Analytics, which looks at consumer engagement in consumer research, streaming, downloads, and on social media, Only Murders in the Building was the third-most in-demand streaming original series in the U.S. during the week of August 13 to 19, 2022,[86] as well as during the week of August 20 to 26.[87] According to Whip Media's viewership tracking app TV Time, it was the most-streamed TV series across all U.S. platforms during the week ending August 7, 2022,[88] and during the week of August 28.[89] According to the streaming aggregator JustWatch, it was the third-most streamed TV series across all U.S. platforms during the week ending July 3, 2022.[90] Whip Media announced Only Murders in the Building was the fifth most-watched streaming original television series of 2023.[91][92]

## Companion podcast

[edit]

In collaboration with Hulu, Straw Hut Media released an official behind-the-scenes companion podcast, Only Murders in the Pod, featuring interviews with cast, crew, and writers.[93] While the first two seasons were hosted by Kevin Lawn and Elizabeth Keener,[94] due to the SAG-AFTRA and Writers Guild of America strikes in 2023, producers Maggie Boles and Ryan Tillotson hosted season three and interviewed directors and other crew members. Notable guests on the podcast include John Hoffman, Martin Short, Pasek and Paul, Shirley MacLaine, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, Jackie Hoffman, and Amy Ryan. Boles and Tillotson continued to host season four with notable guests including John Hoffman, Daphne Rubin-Vega, Amy Ryan, Richard Kind, Madeleine George, Jane Lynch, Michael Cyril Creighton, J. J. Philbin, Jessica Yu, Molly Shannon, Catherine Cohen, Eva Longoria, Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini, Desmin Borges, and Jin Ha.
