What’s Coming to Streaming, Including ‘Only Murders in the Building,’ ‘Love Is Blind’

After a social media tease, “Only Murders in the Building” finally got a second season debut date from Hulu. The show — starring Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez — will return with an all-new mystery on June 28. Following the shocking death of Arconia board president Bunny Folger, the three amateur detectives turned podcasters race to unmask her killer before they take the fall for the crime that they didn’t commit… or did they?

Upcoming shows and deals:

  • Also this week, Netflix renewed “Love Is Blind” for three more seasons. In this viral reality series, Couples agree to get married without having ever seen each other. The streamer also announced that it is developing additional reality shows, mostly in the dating category. The new entries are a U.S. version of Australian series “Love on the Spectrum” and “Jewish Matchmaking,” from the producers of “Indian Matchmaking.”
  • The 25-year-old hit film “The Full Monty,” about unemployed British steelworkers who became strippers to make money, is returning as a TV series.

To give the show added context, it will also include the children and grandchildren of the returning characters.
  • Pluto TV will launch a Stargate Channel on April 1. Movies on the channel include “Stargate,” “Stargate: Continuum” and “Stargate: The Ark of Truth.” The channel will also be the home of Stargate TV series, including Seasons 1-5 of “Stargate SG-1,” the first two seasons of “Stargate Atlantis,” and the full series of “SGU Stargate Universe.”
