Paramount+’s Hilarious ‘Only Murders in the Building’ Replacement Returns in Season 2 Sneak Peek [Exclusive]
Diarra From Detroit, a mystery-comedy in the vein of Only Murders in the Building, is launching its second season on Paramount+ after the original streaming home BET+ was discontinued. The series centres on Diarra Brickland, a Detroit teacher portrayed by Diarra Kilpatrick, who initially investigates the disappearance of a Tinder match and uncovers a historical mystery in the process.
Season 2 escalates when that same man, Chris, faces murder charges just as Diarra planned to end their relationship. She recruits friends to orchestrate his release from custody, a task complicated by their need to extract information from the Freemasons whilst searching for a key they do not possess. The expanded storyline incorporates additional romantic entanglements, a treasure hunt, and a guest appearance in a Tubi original film.

Diarra From Detroit is a mystery-comedy that follows Diarra Brickland, a Detroit schoolteacher played by Diarra Kilpatrick, who starts out investigating a man who vanished after they matched on Tinder and ends up unravelling a much older local mystery. The show initially aired on BET+, but that streaming service has since shut down, and the series has now moved to Paramount+ for its second season.
The new season picks up with Chris, the man from the original disappearance plot, now facing murder charges, just as Diarra had decided to end things with him. She and her friends set out to get him released, a plan complicated by their need to prise information from the Freemasons and track down a key they don't have, alongside a wider treasure hunt and new romantic storylines.
The show has drawn comparisons to Only Murders in the Building for its blend of comedy and amateur-sleuth mystery, and its move to a new platform after its original home closed makes it a notable example of how streaming services shuffle content when platforms are discontinued.
