With his celebrity guest, Arnett’s Terry Seattle will have to improvise as they solve each case.
Netflix recently dropped the trailer of the show on YouTube, and viewers are awaiting the release. The show finds its inspiration from the award-winning BBC3 television series Murder in Successville.

Celebrity guest stars who will take turns to boost the comedy on the show are Annie Murphy, Conan O’Brien, Ken Jeong, Kumail Nanjiani, Marshawn Lynch, Sharon Stone, and Erinn Hayes. Among these celebrities, we are most excited about Conan O’Brien, as he is one of the living legends of America, the greatest comedian ever.
What is Muderville all about?
The show develops around Senior Detective Terry Seattle, who solves a notorious murder in each episode, and a celebrity will join him as his partner to help him with the case. As the show is unscripted, together they will improvise the case, in their own clumsy way. But only the guest has to name the killer alone.

In 2016, The Guardian was all praises for the inspiration of this new Netflix Original, Murder in Successville. According to them, what made the BBC3 show successful was “how carefully it’s made, it works whatever the celebrity of the week does. If they panic, that’s funny. If they lose it under pressure from Davis and giggle, that’s funny.”
Thus, we can hope the same for Netflix’s Murderville. Are you excited for the new show? Let us know in the comments.
