As a die-hard fan of the hit Hulu mystery series “Only Murders in the Building,” I’m thrilled to hear that it’s going to have its own board game!

Since its debut on Hulu, “Only Murders in the Building” has been a massive success, starring Steve Martin as Charles Haden-Savage, a former television actor.

The trio shares an apartment building and are fans of a popular true-crime podcast. Their lives take an unexpected turn when a murder occurs within their shared building. As the story unfolds, it also delves into each character’s complex past. Now, there are reports that “Only Murders in the Building” is set to become its own board game.
