Simone Ashley Spotted Leaving ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Set as Season 6 Filming Continues
Recent reports indicate that Simone Ashley was seen departing the production set of ‘Only Murders in the Building’ in London, where filming for the show’s upcoming sixth season is underway.
The Hulu series has officially relocated its production to London for Season 6, marking a significant change from its previous New York setting. This shift follows the dramatic cliffhanger at the end of Season 5, which involved the death of Cinda Canning, leaving the main trio to tackle a new mystery that seems to extend beyond U.S. borders.
While Simone Ashley, known for her roles in popular streaming dramas, has not been officially confirmed as part of the main cast for Season 6, her recent appearance near the filming location has fueled speculation about her potential involvement, whether as a guest star or in a recurring role.
Production for ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Season 6 was announced shortly after the Season 5 finale aired, confirming the continuation of the series with its usual structure of 10 episodes per season. According to reports from The Hollywood Reporter, the new season will fully embrace its London backdrop, which connects directly to the final moments of Season 5.
In those concluding scenes, the main characters react to a new podcast episode linked to Cinda Canning, set in the UK. This storyline is expected to guide the new season’s direction, possibly leading the characters overseas for their next investigation.
The main cast, including Selena Gomez, Steve Martin, and Martin Short, is anticipated to return. Selena Gomez previously expressed her desire to continue evolving her character Mabel, stating, “I really hope that I can just keep evolving Mabel as I get older, because I want to do this for a long time.” Steve Martin also shared his thoughts on the show’s future, saying, “We believe we’re doing another season. We think so. But you have to live season by season.”
Filming for Season 6 officially commenced in May, with Gomez providing behind-the-scenes glimpses from London. The production shift has already piqued fan interest, hinting at a fresh environment and potentially new supporting characters.

Simone Ashley’s sighting near the set adds another layer of intrigue. Although no official casting announcement has been made regarding her role, such appearances during filming often suggest involvement in some capacity, whether as a guest star or a recurring character.
The series has a history of featuring high-profile guest stars, with Season 5 including names like Renée Zellweger and Logan Lerman. While it remains unclear if those characters will return, the show is known for rotating its supporting cast while maintaining its core trio.
As production for Season 6 progresses in London, more casting details are expected to emerge as the release date approaches. For now, Simone Ashley’s sighting remains an unconfirmed yet significant development as ‘Only Murders in the Building’ expands its narrative into a new locale and possibly introduces new characters.
