The end of the story may just be the beginning.

Hulu’s hit original series Only Murders in the Building just wrapped up its first season, as true crime podcasters Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Charles-Haden Savage answered the question that formed the basis of the first season’s plot: “Who Killed Tim Kono?”

Or did they? Well, yes – (spoiler alert!) Tim’s killer was revealed and confessed, but the solution to the season-long mystery left a few loose ends, as Mabel mentioned in the finale. And The Arconia proved to be the setting for yet another murder, as the trio found themselves under arrest for the death-by-knitting-needle of argumentative neighbor Bunny (Jayne Houdyshell.)

This takes us back to the series opener, where we saw Mabel crouched in front of a bloodied and be-hoodied body, saying “It’s not what you think.”

What will a second season of OMITB involve? Executive producer John Hoffman has been on the interview circuit, giving away a few hints at what is to come when the beloved show returns.

Even though there are a lot of residents in the show’s key location, the beautiful Arconia building, and they all seem to have secrets, next season should mirror this one, where there is only one murder to solve.

“It’s important that the reality of our characters’ lives and the mystery itself is surrounding one key murder a season,” Hoffman told Deadline. “I think it’s important that with these stories, also for a comedy, to remind us that we’re talking about one life and how that life touched a lot of lives.”

As the trio were celebrating solving Tim Kono’s murder, Mabel mused that she felt there were some loose ends not tied up – unsurprising in a season that featured an inordinate number of red herrings. Of course, Mabel did not get a chance to articulate what they were, what with finding Bunny bleeding out in her apartment.

Hoffman, while trying not to disclose too much, told Entertainment Weekly that “We have lots of questions as to why was Bunny in Mabel’s apartment at the end of season one…and was anyone else in there with her? That’s the one question you could tee up.”

Along with figuring out who attacked Bunny (and framed Mabel, Charles and Oliver), the second season will have to explore who is trying to frame them, and where Oscar, Mabel’s maybe-boyfriend, was during the attack, and if those two questions are related.

The Arconia will still be heavily featured in season two, but beyond that, who knows? “We worked so hard, and we’re so grateful for the involvement of the actual building on 86th and Broadway, The Bellnord, which is so beautiful, and is a real character in the piece. And so, for our second season, it’s got to remain squared and centered around that. But we’ve already been talking about a potential hopeful future for the show that continues beyond that,” Hoffman told EW. “It all gets very complicated at the Arconia. You’ll learn more about its history in season two.”

And the building’s most famous resident Sting, who hilariously played himself for a few episodes before heading off on a European tour, just might be returning home for the second season, Hoffman hinted. “I’ll say you’re in the right lane to the highway for certain things we’ve been thinking about. Certainly, nothing was better than having Sting join us. There’s some movement around Sting, let’s go with that.”

It’s definitely not the end of Houdyshell’s time on the show, Hoffman said. “I told her, being a victim on this show — just ask the other brilliant victim in season one, Julian Cihi who played Tim Kono — it doesn’t mean you are not going to be in the show. You’re likely going to be in the show even as a victim.”

And finally, the appearance of Tina Fey as rival podcaster Cinda Canning at the very end of the finale raises the question: will these true crime podcasters soon be the subject of her newest investigation? Stay tuned!
