Which Only Murders in the Building cast members are returning for season 4?

It’s likely that the show’s stars Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez will all be back for the new season. Seeing as the season 3 finale ended with Jane Lynch’s character Sazz Pataki getting shot, the Glee alum will probably make an appearance in the new season as well through flashbacks.

On Feb. 15, it was announced that Meryl Streep will return as recurring character Loretta Durkin, who served as the love interest to Short’s Oliver Putnam in season 3.

The teaser trailer also confirmed the return of Da’Vine Joy Randolph and Michael Cyril Creighton.

It’s unclear if Jesse Williams will be back, but showrunner John Hoffman is certainly hoping for his return. “I love them both, Jesse and Meryl, everyone. I mean, for God’s sakes, I would bring Paul back if we can,” he told The Hollywood Reporter. “Listen, I would bring everyone back, and that might happen. Victims, killers, they’re all able to play in the landscape within this sort of certain narrative ways we can tell our stories.”

What will Only Murders in the Building season 4 be about?

Per The Hollywood Reporter, the new season will see Mabel, Charles and Oliver “searching for answers about who killed Sazz, if they were actually aiming for Charles and why anyone would want to kill either of them.”

Hoffman adds that the new season will explore the theme of “consequences.” “I think the idea of what you create is a thing you put out to the world, and sometimes you can’t be prepared for the repercussions of what potentially the world does with your thing, and how they feel about it,” he told the publication.

“That’s a challenging line to walk, and sometimes you have to face it in that way,” he continued. “So, the podcast and everything else that’s happened, and what it all means, and what it could have been meaning all along. That’s a really interesting world to look at for these three who stepped in that way.”
