Rank 28714Vanta admits it introduced a bug in its codeThe bug resulted in a small subset of customers having data exposedThe error is being fixed, and affected customers notifiedSecurity and compliance automation company Vanta has confirmed sharing sensitive customer data with other customers by mistake.In a statement (via TechCrunch), the company said a change it had made in the code resulted in a security breach. In it, some sensitive data from a small subset of customers was shared with other customers.The incident was spotted on May 26, and remediation efforts are currently underway, with the process set to finish by June 4.Hundreds of victimsAs a result of the incident, “a subset of data from fewer than 20% of our third-party integrations” was exposed to other Vanta customers, the company’s chief product officer Jeremy Epling said.He added that fewer than 4% of Vanta customers have been affected, and they have already been notified.Since the company has more than 10,000 customers, that would put the breach at up to 400. At the same time, the data breach notification letter Vanta sent out says that the data typically includes employee names, roles, and information about different tools, such as 2FA. The company did not confirm exactly what type of data was grabbed.Vanta is a security and compliance automation platform that helps businesses achieve and maintain certifications like SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA, and GDPR more efficiently through continuous monitoring and integrations.Among its customers are Atlassian, Omni Hotels, Quora, and ZoomInfo.You might also likeIranian hackers pose as journalists to push backdoor malwareTake a look at our guide to the best authenticator appWe've rounded up the best password managers

Rank 28716Would you trust AI tools to secure your most sensitive data and workflows in SaaS apps? Or allow it to integrate with your SOC tools? Welcome to the new wave of agentic-driven SaaS security.SaaS apps are the backbone of business operations. But they’ve also become one of the most under-protected parts of the enterprise attack surface. The rapid adoption of platforms like Microsoft 365, Salesforce, and ServiceNow has made managing risk and complexity significantly more difficult for organizations.Traditional security tools haven’t kept upTraditional security tools haven’t kept up. Most were built for networks and endpoints, not for the fluid, API-driven, user-centric nature of SaaS. Cybersecurity teams are overwhelmed with alerts, logs, and sprawling permission models. Can AI help them?Generative AI (or GenAI) can automate and streamline many parts of the security workflow, but its real value comes from enhancing the capabilities of human cyber analysts. In SaaS environments, where visibility is fragmented and telemetry is overwhelming, GenAI brings speed, scale, and contextual understanding that humans alone can’t achieve in real time.Here’s how and why GenAI is becoming indispensable for SaaS security.1.Scaling Security Operations Without Scaling HeadcountSaaS ecosystems grow rapidly, often beyond what security teams can track. Every new app, user, and integration adds risk.GenAI enables organizations to scale by:Automating alert triage and enrichmentRecommending remediation stepsAnd streamlining investigation workflows. This reduces analyst fatigue and lets teams focus on strategic, high-value tasks.Instead of drowning in logs, security teams can focus on strategic analysis and incident response. GenAI acts as a force multiplier, freeing up human analysts for deeper work.2.Silencing the Noise and Prioritizing Real ThreatsThe average security operations center (SOC) deals with tens of thousands of alerts daily. Most of these are noise, but buried within are the handful of events that actually matter. GenAI helps cut through the fog.By analyzing data across multiple SaaS tools and ingesting telemetry in real time, GenAI can:Identify behavioral anomalies fasterHighlight privilege escalation attempts or lateral movementAnd correlate user activity with known threat indicators.This isn’t just automated alerting. It’s contextual decision support, which helps analysts zero-in on what truly matters for their organization, not just what happened.3.GenAI Turns Security Teams Into SaaS ExpertsSaaS platforms are like conveyor belts in a high-speed factory.At first, everything runs clean and smooth. But over time, more integrations, add-ons, custom workflows, and user roles get added. Each one is like a new package being dropped onto the belt. As the belt moves faster, representing rapid innovation and business needs, these add-ons get reconfigured and repackaged through frequent updates.New features are deployed, old ones deprecated, and access controls shift to match evolving use cases. From the outside, it all looks seamless. But underneath, the belt is overloaded and accelerating. Without continuous inspection, it’s easy for a broken piece, a mislabel, or an unsecured package to slip by, introducing risk downstream.SaaS platforms are nuanced, and each has its own ecosystem of roles, permissions, APIs, and configuration nuances. Imagine being tasked with inspecting this conveyor belt in real time; flagging faulty components, tracking changes, and ensuring nothing dangerous makes it into the final product. Most security teams don't have the luxury of having a deep expert on every SaaS platform in their stack.That’s where GenAI comes in. It fills that gap by:Acting as a domain-specific tutor for security analystsOffering contextual guidance on specific SaaS configurationsMapping risks based on real-time configuration and activity dataAnd automatically triaging and prioritizing threats and configuration vulnerabilities.Like an intelligent scanner that watches the entire belt, GenAI understands what’s normal, and instantly flags anything suspicious before it causes a data exposure or a breach.4.Enhancing Security Analysis with SIEM and SOAR ToolsCan GenAI integrate seamlessly with SIEM, SOAR, and data lake tools? Yes it can. GenAI can provide comprehensive analysis of incidents across cloud, SaaS, and endpoint data sources.Instead of users having to manually piece together information from various alerts and logs, GenAI can automatically analyze the data and provide a coherent, prioritized summary of the situation. GenAI can correlate data across different sources (threat detection, identities, configurations, policies, etc.) to provide more comprehensive and contextualized insights.It can also proactively analyze the data, identify high-risk issues, and provide detailed investigation and remediation plans. This allows security and IT teams to be more proactive instead of reactive, as the AI can surface and triage the most critical issues without the user having to manually search through all the data.Reducing effortLastly, by automating the correlation, contextualization, and initial triage of security alerts and findings, GenAI can significantly reduce the manual effort required by security teams.This allows security practitioners to focus on the most critical issues and higher-level analysis, rather than getting bogged down in the time-consuming task of data sifting.This allows GenAI to become the "first line user" of the security tools, automating many of the initial triage and investigation steps.GenAI brings four key advantages to SIEM, SOAR, and data lake tools:Reduces false positives by understanding context across systemsSpeeds up investigations by summarizing cross-platform eventsReduces manual effort by threat hunting and investigating proactively from their SOC tools to include data from the SaaS domain or similarAnd enhancing investigations by integrating expert, SaaS-aware AI agents into SOC tools.Now, what are the considerations for organizations in utilizing GenAI for SaaS security?SOCs Must Evolve to Detect AI-Empowered ThreatsIt’s not just defenders using GenAI. Attackers are too. Threat actors now use AI to craft spear-phishing (or whale-ing) messages, clone voices for social engineering, and generate synthetic data to evade detection.SaaS is a soft target in this new paradigm. SOCs and threat hunters must adapt by:Detecting subtle, low-noise, AI-assisted attacksInvestigating identity misuse and session hijacking with AI-powered forensicsAnd using GenAI to surface anomalies invisible to traditional detection tools.As adversaries up their game with GenAI, defenders must do the same or fall behind.GenAI Must Be Secured Like Any SaaS ToolGenAI itself is typically SaaS based or is embedded in SaaS applications. With AI-enabled apps becoming common, the risk of inadvertent data loss that cannot be clawed back or malicious data theft is a concern for corporations. GenAI data governance and securing integrations between solutions with embedded AI is important to meet compliance and data sovereignty requirements.The more GenAI is integrated into the security workflow, the more access it has to sensitive data. That makes GenAI itself a high-value target.Security leaders must:Treat GenAI platforms as sensitive SaaS apps with proper access controlsDemand transparency from GenAI providers on model training data, subprocessor use, and retention policiesAnd evaluate models not just on performance, but also on their security posture.The biggest risk in GenAI is assuming it’s safe by default. AI risk is “blind risk” or invisible until it causes serious damage.Security First, Everything Else SecondThe flood of new GenAI models and tools creates real pressure to chase shiny new objects. But switching between AI solution providers without a clear security review process can expose organizations to data leakage or compliance failures.Organizations should prioritize:Providers with strong model isolation and data governance controlsTools that meet the organization’s existing SaaS security guidelinesAnd fit-for-purpose models aligned to the intended use case (e.g., writing, analysis, summarization).Performance, cost, and latency are all important. But none outweigh the need for security.GenAI Is the Future of SaaS DefenseThe convergence of SaaS adoption and GenAI innovation marks a pivotal moment for cybersecurity. As attackers become more sophisticated, and SaaS environments more complex, security teams must embrace the power of GenAI. It's no longer just about staying competitive; staying secure is now on the line.The next generation of security operations will not be run solely by humans or AI, but by a partnership between the two. GenAI is not just a tool, but an incredible security multiplier.We've compiled a list of the best time management apps.This article was produced as part of TechRadarPro's Expert Insights channel where we feature the best and brightest minds in the technology industry today.

Rank 28720Microsoft Copilot study claims major timesaving and productivity gains across UK government20,000 civil servants gained access to Copilot, with striking resultsTimesaving amounted to around two weeks per person per yearUsing AI tools such as Microsoft Copilot could help civil servants save weeks of work over the course of a year, new government research has claimed.The UK government had 20,000 civil servants across 12 different organizations use Microsoft Copilot over the course of several months, using the service to draft documents, take meeting notes, search internal information, and even personalize recommendations to unemployed job seeker benefits claimants.The study claimed to find major productivity and efficiency boosts from using Copilot, with the workers saving on average between 19 and 24 minutes per day — amounting to around two weeks per person per year.Copilot timesavingThe study, which took place over September 30 to December 31 2024, says these savings were the equivalent of giving a full year back to 1,130 people, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks rather than admin-based work.“These findings show that AI isn’t just a future promise – it’s a present reality," commented Technology Secretary Peter Kyle.“Whether it’s helping draft documents, preparing lesson plans, or cutting down on routine admin, AI tools are saving civil servants time every day. That means we can focus more on delivering faster, more personalised support where it really counts."The study also signified the largest deployment of Microsoft Copilot in UK government to date, with workers utilizing the platform across the likes of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and Teams."AI is the most transformative technology of our time and we’re already seeing its potential to reshape public service delivery," noted Darren Hardman, CEO, Microsoft UK.“This could unlock new levels of growth, efficiency, and innovation for the country. The Government’s Microsoft 365 Copilot experiment shows what’s possible when people are empowered with the right tools: 26 mins per day (almost 2 weeks per year) less time on admin, more time delivering what matters. And the really exciting part is, this is just the beginning.”You might also likeThese are the best online collaboration tools for workersMost workers are greatly overestimating their AI skillsOver half of UK businesses who replaced workers with AI regret their decision

Rank 28732DLC and two player support is coming to Elden Ring NightreignThis was confirmed by FromSoftware in a recent social media postThe studio also revealed that the game has sold more than 3.5 million units Elden Ring Nightreign developer FromSoftware has confirmed that the game will receive a two-player mode later this year.The news comes from a recent post by the studio's Japanese-language X / Twitter account, which also revealed that the game had sold more than 3.5 million units."The total number of copies shipped worldwide for Elden Ring Nightreign has exceeded 3.5 million. Thank you to everyone who has been playing," the post, which we have machine translated, read."We will continue to provide post-launch support, including DLC scheduled for release this year, as well as adding a two player mode," it continued.The news of an incoming two player mode will likely come as a great relief for some. Currently, Elden Ring Nightreign only supports matches of one or three players. This unusual number makes it a little tricky to team up with friends, as you need get two people who own the game online and ready to play at the same time.When you factor in the lack of cross-platform matchmaking, it can really limit your ability to play when you want to.The announcement of some downloadable content (DLC) is significant too. Given the online nature of the game, it seems fair to expect that it will receive a number of updates and additions in the following weeks and months.Finally, the post concluded by stating that "we plan to release enhanced versions of the existing 'Kings of the Night' from this month onwards, so we hope you will continue to enjoy the game."It's a little unclear what this means, though it will likely be an updated version of some of the game's existing bosses.If you're keen on trying the game before this new content arrives, Elden Ring Nightreign is available now for PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and Series S, and Xbox One.You might also like...Tom Clancy's The Division 2 developers explain why the Battle for Brooklyn DLC is the perfect starting point for new playersNo, you shouldn't peel off the Nintendo Switch 2 screen's protective layerRoboCop: Rogue City - Unfinished Business is more of the same, but that’s not a bad thing

Rank 28736The Google Pixel 10 series could launch a week later than the Pixel 9Plus, leaked photos give us a look at the possible design of the Pixel 10 ProAnd the Pixel 10's ringtone has also leakedGoogle announced the Pixel 9 series on August 13 last year, and if anything we’d have predicted the Google Pixel 10 line could land earlier this year. After all, some Pixel superfans are possibly getting to preview the devices as early as June 27, but a new leak suggests the Pixel 10 line will actually land later this year than the Pixel 9 series did last year.This is according to sources speaking to Android Headlines, who claim the Pixel 10 series will be announced on August 20 – so that’s one week later than last year’s launch.Pre-orders will likely start the same day, and the Pixel 10 series – which is expected to include the Pixel 10 itself, the Pixel 10 Pro, the Pixel 10 Pro XL, and the Pixel 10 Pro Fold – will apparently ship just over a week later, on August 28.We would however take this with a pinch of salt, because along with this being a long time after the June 27 event where the devices might get previewed, this would also probably be long after the launch of Android 16.Typically, Google launches new versions of Android towards the end of the year, but this year it’s shifting its schedule forwards, so it would make some amount of sense to similarly shift its smartphone release dates forward so it has new devices to show the new software off on.Of course, Google also needs time to actually develop and produce new Pixel models, so it wouldn’t be surprising if the company stuck to an August release for that reason.Image 1 of 2A leaked photo of a Pixel 10 Pro prototype (Image credit: Mystic Leaks)Image 2 of 2A leaked photo of a Pixel 10 Pro prototype (Image credit: Mystic Leaks)In any case, this isn’t the only new Pixel 10 leak, as photos of what appears to be a Pixel 10 Pro prototype have been shared by someone calling themselves Mystic Leaks (via Android Authority).The images – some of which you can see above – show a phone that looks a lot like the Pixel 9 Pro, but with a thinner metal border around the camera bar, and the SIM card tray repositioned to the top edge.The photos also show the phone running an app that displays some specs, including the expected Tensor G5 chipset, 16GB of RAM, and 256GB of storage.While we'd take this leak with a pinch of salt, it certainly looks convincing, and matches up with leaked Pixel 10 renders.An adventure in soundFinally, what’s purportedly the Google Pixel 10 ringtone has also been shared, along with some system sounds.You can hear them in the YouTube video from theVakhovske above (via Android Headlines). The ringtone is apparently called ‘The Next Adventure’, which would make for a similar naming scheme to the Pixel 9’s ‘Your New Adventure’ ringtone.Based on past form though it’s likely that these sounds will make their way to older Pixel devices too, so you probably won’t have to buy a Pixel 10 model to get them.You might also likeGoogle Pixel 10 rumors – 5 things we think we know and 3 we don'tBest Google Pixel phones: our reviews help you choose the Google phone that's right for youGoogle Pixel 9 Pro review: the AI phone is here, but the future is not

Rank 28739Pokémon Scarlet and Violet had new footage revealed in the Nintendo Today appThe new footage showcases the game running at 60fps on Nintendo Switch 2The image quality is also noticeably much cleanerPokémon Scarlet and Violet is set to get a free Nintendo Switch 2 update at the console's launch, as previously revealed on Nintendo's official website.Now, though, Nintendo has finally revealed footage of the game running on Switch 2, via the Nintendo Today mobile app for iOS and Android devices. And it looks absolutely glorious.While it's only 30 seconds of footage, we get a good mix of battling and traversal out in the game's open world. Not only is it running at a buttery smooth 60fps, but image quality has taken a noticeable step-up. The game simply looks much sharper and cleaner on Switch 2.If you're unable to download the Nintendo Today app, popular Pokémon fan page Serebii has uploaded the footage to X / Twitter. Though do keep in mind that the website's ungodly compression doesn't do it any favors here.Serebii Update: A trailer for Pokémon Scarlet & Violet for Nintendo Switch 2 has been released on the Nintendo Today app https://t.co/gDbXkHSvkT pic.twitter.com/JQlc66YobGJune 2, 2025Pokémon Scarlet and Violet, representing the series' ninth generation of pocket monsters and originally releasing for the Nintendo Switch in 2022, was heavily criticized at launch. While all the ingredients for a great Pokémon adventure were certainly there, it ran horribly and was riddled with more bugs than Viridian Forest.Of course, it's not the only game in the series to suffer from being released on underpowered hardware, as Pokémon Sword and Shield and Pokémon Legends Arceus also had their share of performance issues - though certainly not quite to the same extent.Thankfully, this Nintendo Switch 2 update does seem to put the game in a much better light. It is a shame that Scarlet and Violet had to be rushed out the door the way it was originally, but this will certainly be a nice bonus for folks who have the new console and were looking for a reason to dive back into the game's Spain-inspired setting.Lastly, it is worth stressing that unlike the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition line-up of games, the Pokémon Scarlet and Violet update is completely free and will simply require players to own the original game either physically or digitally. The update will be available on the Switch 2's launch day of June 5.You might also like...No, you shouldn't peel off the Nintendo Switch 2 screen's protective layerTarget reveals it will have Nintendo Switch 2 stock next weekUK retailer Game is canceling some Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders, so you may want to check yours

Rank 28741Only Murders in the Building season 5: key information- Renewed for season 5 in 2024- Filming commenced in early March- No confirmed release date or trailer yet- Show’s main cast to return- Renée Zellweger, Keegan-Michael Key, Christoph Waltz and more joining the cast- Plot details scarce, bar speculation on season 4’s finale- Co-creator John Hoffman hopes for more seasonsIn the Arconia, the murder-solving, podcast-making trio of Only Murders in the Building can't seem to catch a break. While it appeared there was finally some resolve in the season 4 finale, the show, once again, got quickly turned on its head. And so, the iconic trio of Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short must return to solve yet another mystery in one of the best Hulu shows.In Only Murders in the Building season 4, the trio's famed podcast was catapulted into a movie production, then overshadowed by a flurry of murders, including the death of Charles' beloved stunt double, Sazz Pataki. Unfortunately, as has been the case for the past four seasons, murder seems to follow wherever they go – and it did so all the way into the finale. So, with Only Murders in the Building season 5 back in production, here's everything you need to know, including cast, plot, and when it could be released on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally).Full spoilers follow for Only Murders in the Building seasons 1 to 4.Only Murders in the Building season 5 release date predictionWe're back in production! Season 5, here we go! 🎬 #OMITB pic.twitter.com/LBGciqLZGxMarch 3, 2025While there's no release date just yet, Only Murders in the Building season 5 is officially in production. In an announcement on X/Twitter in March, it was revealed that the cast and crew were back filming for season 5.The renewal came only a week after the season 4 premiere in 2024, as well as an announcement that season 5 will be a ten-episode run, like the rest. But, when can we expect Hulu's hit comedy-drama to return?Well, we have high hopes for 2025 though, considering Only Murders in the Building has had a summer release date every year since 2021. Taking a look at the latest run, season 4 started filming in March, concluded in June and came out in August. So, we'll make a wholehearted release date prediction of August 2025.Only Murders in the Building season 5 trailer: is there one?Only Murders in the Building season 4 only wrapped at the end of October, and the cast were discussing in September that they hadn’t started filming season 5 yet, so there’s no trailer to share. We’ll update this section once the trailer drops, which historically has come out mere weeks before the show’s return. So, hold tight until we’re solidly into 2025.Only Murders in the Building season 5 confirmed castA flurry of guest stars will join the trio in Only Murders in the Building season 5 (Image credit: Disney)It wouldn’t be Only Murders in the Building without the charismatic and endearing trio of Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin, who will all be returning. We also have a confirmed guest star for season 5 - Téa Leoni - who appeared in the season 4 finale, which we'll discuss more in the plot speculation below. Plus, an abundance of guest stars are also joining the show.Here's the confirmed Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast so far:Steve Martin as Charles-Haden SavageSelena Gomez as Mabel MoraMartin Short as Oliver PutnamMeryl Streep as Loretta Durkin-PutnamTéa Leoni as Sofia CaccimelioDa'Vine Joy Randolph as Detective Donna WilliamsJackie Hoffman as Uma HellerRyan Boussard as Will PutnamMichael Cyril Creighton as Howard MorrisKeegan Michael-Key as TBCRenée Zellweger as TBCChristoph Waltz as TBCLogan Lerman as TBCJermaine Fowler as TBCBeanie Feldstein as TBCDespite already having a star-studded main cast to lead the show, Only Murders in the Building has proven that it will always bring in an incredible list of guest stars - from Tina Fey in season 1 to Meryl Streep in season 3. Although Streep has since become a recurring cast member. Not forgetting, there’s the Charles, Mabel, and Oliver of the season 4 movie adaptation, played by Eugene Levy, Eva Longoria, and Zach Galifinakis.And season 5 is no different. In a flurry of cast announcements, Deadline exclusively revealed that Keegan Michael-Key, Renée Zellweger, Logan Lerman, Jermaine Fowler and Beanie Feldstein are all joining the Only Murders in the Building season 5 cast.Variety also revealed the addition of Christoph Waltz in a "recurring role". Though details of their characters are being kept firmly under wraps, which is no surprise in a show as mysterious as this one.Only Murders in the Building season 5 story rumorsWho killed Lester? (Image credit: Hulu/Disney Plus)Major spoilers follow for Only Murders in the Building season 4.While we don’t know the Only Murders in the Building season 5 story synopsis yet, there’s a lot to unpack from season 4 that should give us some idea. While the trio successfully solved yet another murder - this time of Charles’ stunt double, Sazz Pataki - it felt once again like they’d finally be free to relax. But, it wouldn’t be a show without another murder.As the trio enjoyed the fact that Oliver’s wedding day to Loretta (Meryl Streep) had gone unspoiled, they’re quickly brought back to reality as they find Lester, The Arconia’s doorman and beloved recurring star of the show, dead in the fountain. As has been the case with previous seasons, this cliffhanger ending sets up the tale for the next investigation - and season 5.But, that’s not the only investigation hinted at as season 4 wrapped up. A mysterious woman, who introduces herself as Sofia (Téa Leoni), asks Charles and Mabel to find her husband, Nicky ‘The Neck’ Caccimelio. Now, we heard this name on a news report in episode nine saying Nicky, the dry-cleaning King of Brooklyn with links to the Caputo crime family, had disappeared. A report that Mabel reacts to. Sofia says she’ll pay them well to help her, to which they explain they only investigate murders in the building. Her reply, his disappearance has everything to do with the building. Though they turn her away, she leaves her card and the hint that her story will very much be intertwined in season 5.A hint that has since been confirmed by co-creator John Hoffman to Deadline: "I think she's the great tease at the end of the finale and a little bit of an intriguing bump forward." Adding: "But beyond that, it's a world opened up potentially that we haven't talked about too much yet in New York, so she holds a lot of intrigue."There’s even more to discuss though - murders aside. The finale saw Oliver and Loretta wed, though Loretta’s TV show has relocated to New Zealand, and so did she. Leaving Oliver behind at The Arconia with his friends, they agree that they’ll make their unconventional relationship work, even with distance. Given this, we’d assume this won’t be the last we see of the newlywed, Loretta Durkin-Putnam.Then, there’s the shocking return of Jan Bellows (Amy Ryan), who despite being imprisoned in season 1, saves the trio by shooting and killing Marshall P. Pope, aka Rex Bailey, aka Sazz’s killer. Though she appeared earlier in the season, Charles was also hallucinating Sazz, so it wasn’t clear whether he had imagined Jan, too. Fortunately, she wasn’t a pigment of his imagination and consequently killed to avenge Sazz, her friend after a visit in prison in season 2, and save Charles (and Mabel and Oliver). But, as the police took her away in handcuffs, Jan said: “It’s not goodbye, Charles. It never is with us. We’re endgame.” To this, we’d predict, that we haven’t said farewell to Jan after all.Only Murders in the Building season 4 also concluded with the movie still filming. So, a return of Eva Longoria, Zach Galifinakis, and Eugene Levy could well be on the cards for season 5. Plus, with another murder in the building, we’d expect the return of the usual stalwart Arconia residents (who haven’t been murdered, yet) returning to aid in whatever way they can, especially now it involves a man who has helped them all before.While we also met some of the unusual residents of the West Tower in season 4, it’s not clear whether they’ll be returning to help with Lester’s death, or return to their lesser-known side of The Arconia.And when it comes to the recurring role of Paul Rudd - first as actor Ben Glenroy in seasons 2 and 3, and then as Ben’s stunt double, Glen Stubbins in season 4, co-creator John Hoffman told TVLine: “ The fact that he likes the show as much as he does, and keeps at it with us, moves me to the point of making terrible choices. Dramatically, I can’t take anything off the table for him or for Jane Lynch. Or anyone else, frankly.”The trio doing what they do best, returning guest stars, new guest stars, a deeper look into New York and The Arconia's history, and hopefully the resolution for poor Lester appear then to be the enticing construct for Only Murders in the Building season 5.Only Murders in the Building: future seasons?There's hope for more seasons of Only Murder in the Building (Image credit: Hulu)Back in season 3, showrunner John Hoffman told Screen Rant he was very eager to return for many seasons: “This is one of those shows where everyone involved in it is so happy doing it – and I know I speak for the trio and everyone else.”Continuing: “I hope it gives it a good long life.” While three seasons have now turned into five, we can only hope for more.Hoffman certainly has ambition for more, if Hulu wants it. During an interview with Variety, he said: “Once you get over the hump of how many murders can happen in one building, you’re really stepping back and looking ultimately at the true original concept, which is three lonely people in New York City brought together by a common interest in true crime."Hopefully, we’ve tethered out our stories and hit reflections of things that we all recognize about life and death — and being that close to it and examining and investigating and following that, and then reflecting back. All of that feels very fertile always, so I’ll go as long as they’ll have us.”There’s no official news past season 5 though.
