Meryl Streep will appear in the third season of “Only Murders in the Building” on Hulu. The comedy-drama series follows Charles Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, neighbors at an Upper West Side building called the Aronia. Two people who like to talk about true crime podcasts find themselves amid mysteries as they start their podcasts. In season 1, they discovered the death of their neighboring tenant Tim Kono, and in the second season of The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, they did the same for the building’s board president, Bunny Folger. Tina Fey also stars.
What is the “Only Murders in the Building” series about?
“Only Murders In The Building” is a comedy-drama series created by Alan Young and Kenny Trowbridge. It is inspired by “Toward the Light”, an unfinished novel written by Philip Wylie in 1959. The book was later published posthumously in 1991. However, the inspiration behind this series comes from the life of Phillip Wylie himself, who lived at One West 70th Street in New York City, where this series is set. The series follows Charles Haden Savage, Oliver Putnam, and Mabel Mora, three eccentric tenants of the Arconia condominium building who live on the Upper West Side in Manhattan. They all share an interest in true crime podcasts and mysteries, despite Mabel being a staunch believer that there are no such things as ghosts or paranormal activity.

Paul Rudd and Meryl Streep are going to join season 3 of “Only Murders in the Building”
What do we expect from the third season?
The third season of the series will consist of 12 episodes or half the original number of episodes that the series planned to release. The second season was expanded from 8 to 10 episodes because some actors who initially joined the cast dropped out after production. Tina Fey, who stars in “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt”, is also an executive producer on Only Murders In The Building and she was originally supposed to appear as Cinda Canning for at least three episodes. But after she joined the second season of Kimmy Schmidt, she dropped out of Only Murders In The Building.
Production of the third season was announced in April 2018. Season 3 will see Selena Gomez reprise there role as Mabel Mora, a new character who moves into a neighboring building to Haden, Putnam, and Mrs. Mora. Steve Martin will also join the cast as building manager Charles Haden Savage’s grandfather.
Release date of season 3
In the first season twist, after an upsetting incident in their posh Upper West Side apartment building, three of their neighbors start a podcast about their investigation. In season two, the three murder suspects themselves become murder victims – their bloody bodies are found in another resident’s apartment. The series has received numerous accolades, including nominations for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series and the Golden Globe Award for Best Television Series – Musical or Comedy. In July 2022, the series was renewed for a third season after Martin Short won an Emmy Award for his role.
In conclusion,
Meryl Streep will make his appearance in the third season with Paul Rudd. The third season is expected to air end of this year, although Hulu has not yet announced a release date for the third season.
