Additional info including premiere dates, hosts and guests for that one, as well as the \u201cDWTS,\u201d \u201cParadise,\u201d \u201cPercy Jackson,\u201d \u201cTell Me Lies\u201d and \u201cMormon Wives\u201d companion podcasts will be announced at a later date. And more podcasts for other Disney Entertainment shows are in the works as well.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tAdded Ryan: \u201cOur\u00a0strategy is to\u00a0meet our fans where they are, and one of the great things is that these podcasts can do a bit of double duty for us. They serve as awareness drivers and marketing materials for our shows, which is why they will be available wherever you listen to podcasts like Spotify and SiriusXM, but they also serve as bonus content for our fans and engagement drivers for our platforms, which is why we made them available on Disney+ and Hulu.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tHere is the trailer to the new \u201cOnly Murders in the Building\u201d podcast:<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Only Murders in the Building | Official Companion Podcast Trailer | Hulu\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/hznpldX7d0w?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source variety.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hulu\u2019s \u201cOnly Murders in the Building,\u201d a series about podcasters, is about to get an official one of its own.
