Only Murders in the Building is a comedic mystery television series created by Steve Martin and John Hoffman. The show premiered on Hulu in 2021 and stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez as three strangers who live in the same New York City apartment building and are obsessed with true crime. When a murder occurs in their building, they start their own investigation podcast, exploring the crime while also forming unlikely friendships. The series combines comedy, mystery, and a love for true crime podcasts, delivering a unique and engaging storyline.
The first two seasons garnered a strong fanbase, and now the unlikely trio returns for season three! If you haven’t watched seasons one and two yet, STOP READING now, because spoiler alert!
SPOILERS…Season two ended with a surprising on-stage murder and a thrilling Paul Rudd cameo! Too bad he’s dead now…presumably, he will have more on-screen moments depicting the events leading up to his death. Brace yourself for an ever bigger name to grace your silver screen because…
…Meryl Streep joins the cast this season! Season three of Only Murders in the Building will have our leading trio trying to solve Paul Rudd’s murder. Esquire reports that a trailer from the 2023 Oscars pre-show suggests Meryl Streep will play a “mysterious new character,” seemingly an actress in the same play as Rudd’s character.
