Only Murders in the Building season 4 is on the way , and there's already much speculation on what awaits when viewers return to the Arconia for Charles, Oliver, and Mabel's next case. Only Murders in the Building became a huge success when it first aired in 2021 largely thanks to the main cast; Selena Gomez, Martin Short, and Steve Martin. The three entertainers had instant chemistry, and their lovable personalities combined with the current murder mystery trend made for an undeniable instant hit. Each season features an array of huge guest stars too, including Amy Schumer and Cara Delevingne.

The third season of the hit Hulu show sees the trio making a third season of their podcast and attempting to solve another murder. This time the victim is Ben Glenroy (Paul Rudd), a famous Hollywood actor and the lead in Oliver's comeback Broadway play. Along with Rudd, the season features Meryl Streep as undiscovered actor Loretta, and the two are the show's most noteworthy guest stars yet. Given the show's ongoing success, its winning formula, and rotating movie star guests, it's little surprise that Only Murders in the Building season 4 is already confirmed.
