Only Murders in the Building: Mabel, Charles and Oliver Meet Their Twinning Hollywood Counterparts in Season 4 Trailer

'Only Murders in the Building' season 4 premieres August 27 on Hulu

The Only Murders in the Building trio are heading to Hollywood for season 4!

In a trailer for the upcoming season of the hit Hulu series, Mabel (Selena Gomez), Charles (Steve Martin) and Oliver (Martin Short) discover a "Hollywood studio" is interested in making a movie out of their hit podcast.

After Charles marvels over the "amazing script" the studio has sent, Oliver gets peeved when writers note that he "flips around the room a septuagenarian Peter Pan or a male Tinker Bell." After he huffs out of the room and insists he doesn't walk that way, the gang heads to the city of angels where they're introduced to their Hollywood counterparts.

"I'm Eugene Levy?" Charles asks as he shakes his hand. Mabel says bewildered, "I'm Eva Longoria" before an executive introduces Oliver to Zach Galifianakis and he cries out, "Oh yes! Zach Galifragilistic, of course."

When Zach points out he's been in the "second highest grossing comedy of all time," Oliver jokingly asks The Hangover star, "Are you the little boy from Home Alone? What have they done to you!"

Elsewhere in the trailer, the trio see double as Eugene, Eva and Zach emerge wearing the same clothing. Eva suggests she do a "character study" about Mabel and Zach and Oliver practice grunts and mannerisms in the mirror while Eugene follows Charles playing a mini accordion.

Just when the OMITB trio toast to their newfound Hollywood success, they discover another murder has been committed back at the Arconia — and this time Charles' stunt double Sazz Pataki (Jane Lynch) has been killed in his apartment.

"Who would kill Sazz?" Charles wonders as the group investigates and Mabel remarks, "This is a lot of suspects."

With the investigation under way, the trio recruit the likes of Eugene, Eva and Zach to help find the killer. The gang eventually comes to a scary conclusion when Mabel says, "The shooter was focusing on your apartment" and Charles asks, "You think I was the target?"

Now that their safety is in jeopardy, Mabel suggests that the trio stay with Charles' sister (Melissa McCarthy) who welcomes them into their home in Long Island. Surrounded by her doll collection, Mabel and Oliver discover that she may have a screw loose.

The group focuses in on solving the murder committed when Zach says, "We'll take it from here." Unconvinced by the declaration, Mabel asks, "Oh yeah, you think you've got this?" as Eugene responds, "We're not children" before asking her to open a package of "snick snacks."
